Knee plate, thigh ammo and shoulder straps ready

I've cut out, sanded and polished the knee plate, thigh ammo and shoulder straps. The last two needs shaping with a heat gun, I'll be doing that tonight I hope. :)

Helmet coming together!

I've started working on my helmet! The decals on the back piece of the helmet are done, and the eyes are cut and polished. I have yet to find courage to cut the frown, that is one scary area to play in!

Now I have to start thinking of how to fasten my lenses! There's really no place to put the glue, as the edge on the inside of the eyes is very thin. Advice is welcome! :)


The front, I think the eyes look quite good now :)


Decals and brow trim


The back decals were too big, so I had to cut them and paint them a bit. I'm happy about how they look now!

Belt and ab plate buttons ready

I have cut out and polished the belt buttons, they are now ready to glue onto the belt. I have also done some modifications to the ab button plate, so that I can use my duckies buttons there as well. I have glued some of the buttons onto the ab plate, and I think it looks quite good. :)

Painting buttons and detonator

I am painting my buttons and my detonator, and they're starting to look good. I'm using Humbrol glossy #5 grey and #15 midnight blue. I found the buttons at a local yarnstore, they're so cute with ducks on them. Pity they have to be painted! ;)

My blaster

Here's what my blaster looks like at the moment, stuck in a shelf with the parts I'm adding. I have added some spatula in the holes, but it'll need some more.

My work so far

Here are some of my pieces. Almost every part is ready for glue, except a leg and a thigh. The torso pieces are already velcroed, but they keep popping open when I move. I'd love some advice on that issue! :)

Beltboxes done

My beltboxes are cut, sanded and polished. :)

Pics of my boots

Here they are, my new and shiny boots! Now I'll just have to get some paint. :)

Sewing canvas belts

I've been sewing canvas belts for me and my lbf! They turned out really nice. :)

Done!

Still working

I'm still working on my trooper armour, sanding and polishing my pieces to make them ready for glueing. I'll try to make my ANH strips today with a cutter at school, and I'm really curious if it'll work!

I got my boots yesterday, and they fit me really well. It's the ones I have posted pics of earlier. :)

My dear Canon 450D is currently at the camera hospital, and my old Olympus is kind of not feeling well, so the pics will be limited for a short period.
