Just started the bracers. Reminds me why making bracers is such a pain in the a** without a second person there to measure and help fit (and who actually knows what they're doing).
When you get these ones right, trace a pattern to keep for future use.  |

I feel your pain on the bracers. I need to redo mine as they still haven't really fit right

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I ain't makin it.  Sabering is good exercise. My problem always is I have to make or get custom made in most of that stuff (bracers, hand protection), because I am part giant... |

The safest bet is to make them a bit big and have sleeves that help keep them in place

So I ran out of glue and am thus limited in what I can do until the hardware store is open and I can go buy more. I had just enough glue to finish piecing together the bracers, but I need more to finish the sides of the breastplates and the reinforcing layer of the handguards. Right now I'm painting detail on the handguards and might cut the upper mantle pieces before I head off for the night.

Forgot to post any pics, but here are the handguards. Bracers sitting close by but I didn’t think to snap a photo before I had to leave for work. Goal is to finish tonight!

Once I finish tracking down the places where pins are visible, it will be complete!  |

Person comes in about 5 hours, so I think it will be. I probably won’t have all of the Velcro in, but that’s what safety pins are for LR, those look incredible! I'm sure that Rebel Legion will approve this in NO time at all! Great job my friend Rebel Legion isn’t who I’m concerned about, since it’s closer to the original than the only approved one I’ve seen (that the standard is based off of actually). The Saber Guild GCCs tend to be a bit picky recently, and I’m right at the deadline in terms of time for if it should be approved or placed as “pending” before when I need it. When I resubmitted Bastila it took 17 days. Turnaround is supposed to be 10 :/ Thank you though! I’m also submitting for Rebel Legion.... and also doing my Darth Revan reshoot for 501 (and submitting Dark Empire while I’m at it). So many submissions today XD 501st one I think will be a fast turnaround though. Last time they got back to me with feedback within an hour via my email submission. One of the squad leaders has already contacted me about getting in on troops as soon as next week after I said I completed the adjustments. |

That looks freaking AWESOME!
Sorry to hear about the glue issues. What kind was it so we can all avoid it like the plague?
