No pinching!!

Post by TKvanB »

...or bruising!!<br>...or scratching!! <br>...or poking!!<br><br>Nothing fell off. Nothing came loose. <br>It is really easy to put on and take off all by myself.<br><br>Thanks for all your help TK412!<br><br>The only thing I might want to do still is rivet the knee plate and thigh belt in place.<br><br>My armor is perfect! I looked everywhere this morning for any signs of any problems with the armor--even at my elbows and there are no marks on meesa any where! <br><br>Even my feet are in pretty decent shape considering these are new shoes for me.<br><br>I am a little sore from all that walking up and down the stairs and dancing in the armor, but other than that, I could wear my armor indefinitely as long as I didn't drink more water than I could perspire. <br><br>Meesa bein' ready for duty! <p><center><a href=http://www.geocities.com/tkvanb/><font color=blue><b>I GOT ARMOR!!</b></font></a><br><a href=http://www.geocities.com/tkvanb/gotarmor.html>Fashion cognoscenti throughout the universe agree; <br><b>White <i>IS</i> the new black this year.</b></a><br><a href=http://www.wizards.com/starwars/celebra ... onII><font color=red><b>C U @ C II</b></font></a></center> </p><i></i>

Nice!<br><br>During my first couple outings, I felt like a sore stiff zombie<br>that was falling apart. I would say things like...<br><br>"Excuse me could you pick up my Shoulder..hand...leg, they seem to have fallen off"<br> and the ever popular "No those are not track marks!" <p></p><i></i>

We just watched SW EP IV this morning on DVD.<br><br>I was really noticing how effortlessly Han Solo was sitting on a chair at the desk on the Death Star with his feet up on the desk. <br>I did sit down on a park bench yesterday, but it wasn't at all like how Han was sitting there on the Death Star. <br>Were those movie suits made out of something softer and rubberier than ABS? <br>And he must have been sitting at a strange angle as well, to be able to retain his thermal detonator as he jumped up from the chair..........<br><br>(I still wonder where their clothes were while they were running around in armor....... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> )<br><br>Mike, you will have to check out "the system" that is on my suit. It works! <br><br> <p><center><a href=http://www.geocities.com/tkvanb/><font color=blue><b>I GOT ARMOR!!</b></font></a><br><a href=http://www.geocities.com/tkvanb/gotarmor.html>Fashion cognoscenti throughout the universe agree; <br><b>White <i>IS</i> the new black this year.</b></a><br><a href=http://www.wizards.com/starwars/celebra ... onII><font color=red><b>C U @ C II</b></font></a></center> </p><i></i>

Good job, Kathy! I have some video of Duffy and Damian in the dressing room asking you about pinching, and you were puzzled, like it doesn't happen to you, and Duffy said "just wait". Guess you were right and they were wrong. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
