Hey guys, I'm still alive lol, just been busy with the animated armor for the last 6 months or so. Wanted to share! Had my second troop with Wolffe at a Make-A-Wish walk/run yesterday. Was my first outting with everything weathered up! Mostly got called Captain Rex and Boba Fett. I did see a kid standing 20 feet away and I read his lips telling his mom, "That's Commander Wolffe! Commander Wolffe!" so I stormed right over to him and shook his hand, congratulating him on being the first (only) person to recognize me! Left to do: > Finish holsters, buy pistols. Probably Steelblitz, I like the smaller ones > Put a strip of elastic between bottom knee/top shin to keep them from rotating > attach thighs to a belt instead of cod plate > rig a better fastening for the inner calves, velcro isn't cutting it > rig a better fastening to hold the belly plate down against the belt, no more gap! > maybe swing the rangefinder back a tad?? > voice amp!!! > bring the torso IN a few inches, I shimmed it WAY too much > finish the over-the-shoulder strap pieces and attach > probably get a professionally made kama. I like the cut of my homemade one but the trim is coming off > get shoulder antenna! That should be enough to keep me busy lol Phil
