Hi Chris. Welcome to the 53rd FAC. Congratulations on your 7 week old and also thank you for your service. There are a few service men and Vets here (though mostly U.S. armed forces).

First off, just wanted to say you have good taste in armor choices.
Bad news, the GM is one of the toughest to build out of all the clones especially if it's your first build. Don't want to scare you since it's been the first for many including myself. There's a few guys here from the UK garisson which I'm sure will be glad to help you out. There's a lot of good Marines here that will help you out whenever possible. Feel free to read through the forums as older posts still have lots of good knowledge and might even answer any questions that you may have. Also, feel free to ask any that you might not find an answer to. We learn from each other so there might even be some stuff you might know that most of us might not.

Once again...
Welcome to the 53rd FAC and best of luck on your build. We look forward to seeing your WIP and can't wait for the day you say "It's done".

-RamZ

Hey Chris, I just scored some awesome white patent leather for the GM helmet. If you would like me to send you a sample, just shoot me a PM.
