Issue 16

Issue 16 was actually pretty straight forward once I completed building the 3 sets of corridor bumpers. I'm getting pretty good at them now and have a fairly efficient system for cutting from the sprue, sanding the edges and gluing to the corridor hub. Past that it was just some quick assembly of the hallway tube and flooring (6 screws) and then adding another piece to the frame.

The 3 corridor bumpers in 3 different stages of completeness


The hallway floor and bumpers assembled (not glued)


The framework and panels thus far for the bottom of the MF
Current Build: Millennium Falcon
Wish List: Lamborghini Countach LP 500S, Red Bull Racing RB7

So, my last post appears to have been September 2015...yep, I disappeared for a little while, but guess what, I'M BACK!! Got a little preoccupied over the last 18 months when I joined the 501st Legion and started working on armor builds. First I built my wifes Legacy Stormtrooper armor, then I helped 3 other friends build their "A New Hope" Stormtrooper armor, and then finally in the last 5 months I completed my own!!! There is always more armor to build, but the monthly shipments of my Millennium Falcon build have been staring me down from the garage shelves and alas, it is time to get back to it!!! I've got some catching up to do with everyone I was building along with back 18 months ago LOL.

First a couple pictures of the Stormtrooper armor, then the final assembly of Pack 17.

It's great to be back!!!

Hello Impatience,

I live just up the road from you in Murrieta.
It's nice to see someone in my area (sort of) building this as well.
Best of Luck with your build. Mine is going slow adding more and more after market parts getting more expensive by the month, ha ha

Hopefully it comes out the way I envision it.
