Here is the bucket

I have all the pieces trimmed and working on assembling. ukwrath's build thread on FISD has been invaluable. Along with khros 19 hour stream, I have gotten a lot of useful techniques in assembling the kit.
So far only the biceps and forearms are assembled. Here are the biceps. I know the strips are long. This was done intentionally in order to trim them as close to the piece as possible. I do not have the most steady hands in the world and straight lines forever elude me. Let's hope I never have to take a field sobriety test. The left one is a little tight, so I will be trimming back the return edge a little more as I get closer to final fitting with the soft parts.

Here are the forearms. I was able to trim the strips pretty close, but I will get them closer as I do the final fit.

After 2 days of initial fitting, I finally got the shins assembled and drying as we speak. It did not help that Anovos initially labeled the shins wrong. Once I got the right parts together, they came together a little better than before. The right shin still has some gap in the back, but the strip covers it rather nicely. The left shin is good enough for government work.
Here is the left shin

As always, I am open to any advice or hints on assembling the kit. I still have a long way to go, but I am in no hurry. I want to make sure I get it right. As I get more of it assembled, I will post updates.
