Good luck with your Pep man... 22 pages is a long build lol
The worst part is, it's my first time modifying a model and unfolding it.. and scaling it. So I won't know if I screwed it up until I'm well into it. LOL Ah well.. here's to crossing my toes and hoping for the best

I think the largest build I've done so far was around 18 pages and around 80 pieces.. so this shouldn't be tooooo much more hassle as long as I unfolded everything alright. I also have an organizing system set up to keep all my parts straight and easy to locate so once they are all cut and grooved [still using the cardboard so they have to be cut on all the folds as well] the assembly should just be a matter of time and waiting for glue to dry.
Shins/knees and gaunts should be a relatively easy affair with the design I laid out at the beginning, just wanting to wrap a couple of things up before I start on yet more parts. I am planning on using PVC and sintra for them. Boot armour will be fiberglass right over the [protected] boot so it is form-fitting so again, very quick and easy [in theory] to get that knocked out. Which leaves me with a loin cloth, finish the blaster, and build a holster. I am expecting to use Ohld Vahrt's blaster hanger idea rather than the initial plan of a holster integrated into the thigh plate. If I am going through the trouble of making a pretty blaster, I want to show it off

My friend got back from his latest hitch and brought me a couple of b rass pipe fittings that would make really neat barrel ends so I may scrap my blater design and go with a different one, or I may just hang on to these and use them for a pair of blasters later... we'll have to see.
In other news, belt and pouches came in yesterday. Well.. half of the pouches did, anyway. There was a mix-up at the lab and the picker shorted me a set of pouches so they are shipping them out Monday. I had them tack on three more matching belts that I figure I can cut down to use as straps for my gaunts and shins, that way it all matches and I don't have to weather the leather because it is actual milsurp WWII leather. Hooray for milsurp shops! I keep eyeballing
this canvas flare gun holster to use as a tool pouch... but then, everything else would be nice not-so-pretty leather and this one box of canvas... I think I'll just wait and get a leather one from GreatSkyRiver Falco. His newest offering looks almost dead on for this. That will have to wait for a future upgrade though, given the (way-blown) budget and (hopefully not blown) time constraints.
I know, I know.. pics pics pics... not that anyone is still reading this thread or clamoring for pics of my ugly mug, but I like to think they are out there

Sorry about the wall of text.. I just had my first cup of coffee in two weeks and it's apparently gone straight to me head...
