Well you just cured all my worries thanks! I have the thighs trimmed and some glue going on them now!

Good luck with the thighs...when assembling mine they were the bane of my existence. The thighs were the final pieces I worked on. Finally got them perfect in the end though.

I think I got mine pretty good. You're right though they were such a pain! I had to take a lot of the top of them to fits better. Night have to rip them apart and take some more off or tighten them up. I just don't want to make them to small and take away from the overall look. I have all the armor pieces assembled just maybe a couple hours of work left. Been trying to decide what to do for boots since TK boots is out for several more weeks.

A year ago I was on a wait list from TK boots since I have a size 13 foot.

I actually tore apart my thighs 2-3 times to make them right. You also don't want to make them too big otherwise they'll look like they're swinging like bells when u walk. I'm sure you're on the right path

Like Jason said try not to fall into the bell look with the tighs.

Boots I love the TKboots. My first pair of boots were not them but the real deal riding boots (Jodhpurs/Chelsea) and they are not very flexible...the TKboots brand are. If you can wait for TKboots I would (IMHO)

Well boots have just been ordered. Went and ordered a pair of caboots. I know those are not 100% correct but they will get the job done for me. I do plan on also getting a pair of tkboots once they get back in stock. They should be here I would assume late next week. So I plan on having all the small stuff I have left to do finished next weekend and should be ready to get some pictures up for approval! Only have a couple hours of work left on the armor with the small bits.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the finished pics!

Welcome to the CG forums Austin. Looking good on your TK build. Once your done, send us your pics and we'll start your 501st approval process.

Did you ever get your armor completed Austin ?

Yes armor is complete and just approved!!! Waiting for the paperwork to go through on the 501st site!
I was also able to order a pair of TK boots, the first pair I had was starting to hurt my feet, this are ten times better and at half the cost I paid to start.

Awesome bro, post some pics...

I hope to be going for approval soon myself...
