The boxes still look like they need to be trimmed. I'll see to that later on. otherwise, the belt looks great IMO. Any comments are always appreciated. next is to 'weather' the belt:)

Rex Update

Post by River »

Good day troopers.

I apologize for not updating this as normal. i've been rather busy being in FL for my company annual meeting. (we actual made positive numbers for '08 )

I wanted to update you on the Rex progress. here's a pic of me in the pauldron and belt WITH the Hasbro Bucket. it's not a 'great' pic but best I could do with the camera. Enjoy

Hasbro Bucket

Post by River »

In case anyone is wondering, the Hasbro Bucket is only being used for reference, i'm not using it for acceptance into the 501st. Nor am I modding it since I read that it will cost just as much (if not more) to mod it into an 'acceptable' bucket. So I use 'this' rex bucket for look and appearance. Just FYI in case any of you troopers were wondering 'Why is that crazy River using a Hasbro Bucket'????
