I have been asked to ecsort a bride and groom into their wedding party at the goat and compass 4th street Wilmington, nc. October 14th by Sadie Paige Barton. It is her wedding and her groom is a huge star wars fan. She wanted to get a few troopers to escort them in. I know its a few months away buy i thought I'd let you guys know now. I will have the meet time and notice of any changes as we get closer to the date.

All my parts come from ATA. they come untrimmed but the quality is amazing and his delivery times are spot on. I will look into getting a full kit pricing as soon as my tax check comes in. I will benefit more with all the hands on from other TK builders. my patience tends to run thin and the fear of breaking stuff makes me stall. thank you for your help.

This is some of the information i needed to know. as for fixing most of them i will try to get them mostly done on the 4th. (I know, it's Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you.)
The fore arm pieces i have been looking into how long they are supposed to be. those are part of my original kit and will be replaced as soon as i have the money.
I'm almost tempted to buy an entire new kit and start from scratch. Any idea what it may cost me?
Both my thighs are overlapped. I haven't wanted to cut any more off until i had a second pair of experienced eyes to go over it. The new belt and strapping and button covers for it are in and waiting to be worked on.
My current belly size has hampered my Ab and chest fitting. my fault. i got lazy with my sit down do nothing job. (exercise in progress)

Time to go tool shopping for some of these parts.

Thanks for the info. I'll take it with me when i go to the Outer banks. I will update what I've done when i get back.

My current setup. new belt is in but not on. needs trimming and fitting. getting help with it soon. don't mind the belly it's temporary. i am in the process of getting it into a flatter shape.

monday, 3:00 pm est and i just remembered may 3rd and 4th is free comic book day and star wars day. the forth i have no scheduled events. so that Friday night i can drive up and grab a hotel. redbull it on the interstate. how i miss those days.

I can still make the trip. the mic tips would be great. i will reimburse you.
The stress tests are to see how they hold up. they let me know when the velcro and adhesives need replacing.
the events i do locally are for fun and for charities i do around here. but mainly for everyones fun and enjoyment.

This weekend I have a birthday party and azalea festival. An event I walk around in for pics every year. It's also a good stress test on armor.

Its a bit of a drive but I can make it to kill devils hill on the 3rd and 4th. It will give me the time I need to set the gas money aside. I can bring all my old and new parts. I think the only parts I'm missing are the Mic tips foe my bucket. I will also comb through my leather scraps for the holster.

I have reached the extent of my skills and knowledge. I am unable to progress on my own. I need the Hads on experience of another TK armor builder. So far I have been denied approval for thing I dont know how to do. Can someone meet with me to finish my stormtrooper armor? I can work on weekends and can travel a bit to get to out of town locations.
