Well folks even a good knee reconstruction will not keep a good man down. It may slow me down even to a stopping point at times when I over do it. However I have managed to do some work sitting down on a few small parts. Enjoy the update. Seam sealing at it's best.

That all looks great.

How are you going to get into your chest and back with them glued together? It seems like I've read a ton of different methods for joining the front and back so people can get in and out. Strangely, I never considered making it one piece. I just assumed I wouldn't be able to get into it or that it would be uncomfortable.

It looks great only thing is that there is suppose to be a seam where the chest and back meet.

he and i have that covered. after the glue is set, we will find vertical, and split it apart leaving a perfect seam since we added material to the sides.

I am still in the building process, I know that there is a seam on the side of the clone armor. The back and the chest will be split after my bondo work has been completed fellas. Thanks for the info.

Ok I'm going 327th Star Corps. It's a done deal! The paint is bought and the blaster pistols and holsters are on order. I was going to build them but I had more than half invested in matt. to build them, as they cost to pick up a resin set. So it was a no brainer for me. The ammo chest clip belt was ordered as well, "in grey". I have noticed that everyone uses black. Myself and Mr. Jones took some screen grabs and noticed that the belts are grey so I will be looking for a blt n grey. The screen grabs don't lie people. Or it could just be that they are hard to find in grey than black.
