Thank the Maker! I have almost all the parts pencil marked for trimming now but even with the guides on KW's site I am going cross eyed trying to figure out a few of the boxes. I am also thinking of investing in a table top belt sander.... realizing the amount of sanding is going to be monumental to say the least.

Glorious day for an armor party with some first-class people from Cloud City Garrison and Kashyyyk Base (Star Wars Oregon)! Got a ton of trimming done on my kit while getting expert advice from Scott (NavySith). I can not over state how much it helps being connected with others in doing this project.  Post will be short on pictures, I was really focused on getting as much trimming done as my hands would allow (gloves...must wear them kids- I am glad I did!).

Also, out of my apartment I was working on a cheap portable plastic table that I wasn't worried about cutting into, which made the work go faster than the trimming I was doing at home. Some of the pieces were quite difficult to cut due to the location of adjacent pieces, most notably the forearms and bicep (see below). Although I am sore from the cutting, I was sort of sad to park the kit in the storage unit where it will live when I am not working on it. Will be a few days before I can get back at it- but making progress!

Got a bit more work done this afternoon. Still need to trim all the boxes and holsters. Then all the basic trimming will be complete!

Left to trim:


Had my first unintentional cut line on a shoe strap:


I call this the "Porg and Clone Trooper bouquet"


Have to return to work for a week, then I should be back at it!

Shoe strap cut can be glued and filled, easy fix
