So made a lot of progress yesterday on the helmet. I thought I'd show the step I went thru do get it as far as I did.
First, had a little set back but I did get my big paint chip fixed ok.

Should be done tomorrow, maybe Tuesday. All I have left to do is pain the diamonds on my Kama and a few little odds and ends.

I meant to get back here sooner but I have been kinda busy the last few day,

It is official! I am now part of the 501st , AR-27823

I would like to thank everyone who has put there two cents in on my armor. I defiantly wouldn't look as good as it does with out the help of everyone here and support of everyone over at clonetroopers.net . I already have my first troop lined up, it will be a double header on the 6th of oct. (as long as nothing comes up.)

And now for the hard part, saving money to start a second armor!
