Hello all!
ID/TI from Providence starting the research phase for future kit number... 7? 8? I can barely keep track (or keep up) anymore. I'm adding a Rogue One TK to the mix, somewhere between a custom Mando, Armorer, OT Xwing, three Ventress kits, LA Bo Katan, and a few still in dream states!
Thank you! It might be a while before I can actually start a build thread... looks like 850AW is out of stock of the white R1TK kit, and I'm determined to finish a few in queue before I start another. lol
In addition to what JBar has said, I recommend making a build thread! That way you can post photos of your build and ask as many questions as you want! Here's where the ANH build threads are posted, and where you can start one as well: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/
Also, if you are building this for 501st Legion approval, running your plan for the biceps by your GML would be a good thing to do.
So I made some binder holders out of the earthquake support I got with my shelves for my shed and a strip of aluminum from Lowes. Yes, they aren't ANH accurate, but It's all about making kids smile!
Oh boy I had a moment at work! I've got one reacter speaker that just so happens to be small enough to fit in my TD.
Basically, a reactive speaker will turn any object it's attached to into a speaker. It's what I use for my speakers with my chest armor.
My wife had a small MP3 player that I loaded with TK chatter that runs on a loop for 45 minutes. If I can get the end of the TD off (E600 FTW) I want to install this inside of the TD . The mp3 player has a hook on it that would be perfect for mounting on the belt behind the TD. Seriously, I've got too much time at work to be pondering such things. Proof of concept is in the video. The E6000 is going to be tough to get the end off of my TD. If I can't do it I'll order a another one to try this on. I have an event for May the 4th and I don't want to mess up what I've already made. All in all, I think this is going to work great as long as I can hide the MP3 player behind the TD.
