You're build looks good. I do have one question for you tho? You're not still thinking of splitting that chest are you? If so I would say you should just cut the lower belt and replace it with foam. It would be allot easier.

I've decided to just do it like Roadwarrior and cut out the bump underneath the arms.
 
The suit looks really good. Good luck with your deadline alec. I hope it all works out for you man.
 
Looking good man! And yeah the shoulder looks fine to me :) I've got to approve of the red!
Well good, because there's no turning back now :D

Deadline's coming up isn't it? Better make it in time too.

More progress, rondo is amazingly helpful by the way.

Things are coming along fine. By tomorrow afternoon everything should be mudglassed and I'll be ready for sanding. For my foam work, I have a few layers of Carpathia's sliced M6G glued together, spine is finished, and then there's the foam parts for the thighs and chest I still need to cut out.

6 more days!

Progress! Cut out all places to be replaced with foam/faceshield. Keep in mind there is no padding/strapping and things are just attached with blue tape.

Tomorrow is weathering, strapping, and padding. Then there's some touch up paint and a little more foam work.
Going to Comic-Con Saturday, going to be close.

This kid came up to me and asked for a picture, I said okay but then he told me to put my weapon down. I went along with him and he told /me/ to get down. Honestly it was an odd request but I did it anyways.

Saw Djinn in the exhibit hall and snagged a photo with him.

you're build turned out looking great. It also looks like you were having allot of fun at the con.
 
armor looked really good in person man and we had way to much fun with the 501st guys for our photo shoot. wish we could have had more troopers on both sides for a head to head shot. hope to see you there next year......
 
Thank you guys! The photo shoot was definitely fun, the entire event was fun. I'm now considering going for more than just one day too. Hope to see you too.
 
I'm so MAD right now! I just started resining my upgrades, like L3X's V4 chest and V@ Security Shoulder, and I managed to get to the rondo stage too. I don't know how it happened, but the dang chest warped all over the place! I'm really frustrated right now an just venting. I'm hoping I can sand away some of the warped part to at least make it look nicer. I'm going to go sleep off this anger, I'll get a picture of the damage up tomorrow afternoon.
 
Wow !
With every post , i was amazed !
and the white and orange , i wish i thought of that !
i believe it is a VERY good build ,
Hope you will make more !
Happy Buildin' !
 
Alright, so after I cooled down I realized the warping wasn't that bad. Anyways, finished the upgrades at 9 on Friday and immediately tested it out at a party.
Parked a little down the street from the house, walked up and instantly people were calling out "is that Alec? That's so cool!"

This shot was taken on accident after someone called my name and I looked away from the camera.

Went inside and showed it off some more, and then it started to fall apart. I learned that the buckle system I had for the chest needed to be adjustable and more loops were needed on the belt.

On Monday we were allowed to wear our costumes to school, so I had my friend dress in last year's suit.

I had a great time wearing this around and can't wait to find another opportunity to put it on.
 
Just about finished up with my sliced M6G, need some repairs done on the shoulders this weekend too. Found another picture!
