Updating after a few months: ?? Following the cancellation of my ASP order back in April, I was able to find a second-hand ASP kit from a guy in Washington. Nick was very friendly and very transparent throughout the whole transaction so I managed to get the finished armor + helmet + belt for just about $700. ?? As I mentioned to some of you throughout the Terrificon weekend, I've still got a few things to work on for this kit, but I'm very close to finishing it.?? I did a test fit way back in May when I first got the kit and found that the thigh pieces were just a little too tight for me. After my first armor party at Ezra's, I decided to use nylon webbing and velcro to extend the circumference of the thigh piece to fit me better. During that first test fit, I also ended up cracking the backplate's shoulder area. I didn't have the tools/knowhow to fix it, so I ended up buying a replacement backplate from Jim Tripon. Gonna visit some auto body shop later this week to see about getting it painted. Helmet is in great condition but needs padding and fans in order to make it comfortable for me to wear during troops. @Wildcardz??and @Feliz??had some great recommendations so I'll be looking on amazon or a sporting goods store for those parts. ?? Once I get the backplate redone and the thigh pieces adjusted, I should be able to adjust the rigging system to make sure the suit lines up how I want it to. I can work with padding and velcro to make sure the armor is actually making contact and not just hanging over me awkwardly.??

Completely agree! I've never been to a convention before, let alone one with the garrison, so I have no reference point for what these events have been like in the past, but for a first, this weekend was nothing short of phenomenal! Loved getting to see everyone from all the groups and getting to bond during those rowdy nights (looking at you, Joe???). Definitely want to do more events with all the groups combined, keep shaking things up! ?? Can't wait to get my Death Trooper finished so I can troop with you guys next time!

OOOOOH! Very much looking forward to this one! Maybe we can troop side by side and give you a Death Trooper escort once we finish our builds???

Hey Quentin, I'm looking to stay in New London for the weekend if you'd like to split a room. I'm not sure what would be cheaper for you but let me know if you're interested.

Found a Mando flight suit for a fairly good deal online. Looks like the top stitching is white, so I'll be pivoting towards a Season 2/BoBF Din Djarin.
