First of all, I got my BM lid today. It´s a real beauty to say the least. So, in good TK-2330 tradition, the first thing I did when I got it home was to paint it!! I just did the insides black to start with. When that had dried I went over it woththe first layer, a light grey. Tomorrow I´m starting on the left ear (following TerminalFettlers step-by-step ESB guide on this one).
Here´s some pics (they are mirrored, so no, the dent is not on the wrong side):
Fettpride also said that my armor will ship today, so it´ll be here soon I guess:)
Lastly, I dyed my flightsuit the correct color (from grey to light blue) and also started weathering it, pics to come tomorrow.
Here's another one I made the other day:
I recieved my ESB pouches and flashtube from FettDad at TDH today! I'll post some pics later.

Here's where I'm at right now. Everything is painted except for one of the thruster, since I had to glue it back together after dropping it, and a couple og the parts on the underside of the pack (yellow bottoms on the two cylinders and the greeblie-kit in the center). I also have to make a fundtioning LED for the beacon and the hooks for the harness.
On to the pics:
