As a newbie myself, I'll be wishing you best of luck on your construction! A word of advice, don't be afraid to take your time, I had to calm myself down more than a couple times to keep from rushing headlong into a mistake. Have fun with it and take pictures along the way. Keep us posted! :D

Don't worry about making the cut, we'll help you however we can. Just take your time, research your butt off, and most importantly "measure twice, cut once". Actually the most important would be don't be afraid to ask questions. We are all here to help you.

Yep! Damian Jorgensen is our Garrison Membership Liason. Send him the pictures, and he'll review your work for accuracy.
Good luck!

Thanks for all the replys. The armor I bought was used so I am re-sizing and adding a full snap system, but I had to "UN-build" most of the armor and helmet for various issues and repaint the helmet details before putting it back together. But, it is coming along nicely I think. I am down to just re-doing a few more items and I think I will be good to submit my pics within the week. So hopefully I can get in to be at the Bartlett parade.

Well now I have to wrap up these loose ends this week, my son wants me to show up at his kids bowling party for his birthday on Saturday in my armor! This should be interesting.
