  4. CTID's RWA-ANH Stunt WIP...... 501st Here we go!

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by CTID

    So here's my new RWA kit

    On its way, so I thought I'd start my WIP thread.

     

    Maybe a slow burn due to work commitments and a resin blaster kit WIP on the go too.

    We'll see....Looking forward to BBB day!

     

     

     

    I have the tools, but was thinking about all the other bits and bobs I need to fulfil the build.

    There's nothing worse than wanting to get on with something and then realise you need to wait for the postman! So I tried to get as much as I could ahead of my kit landing

     

    I thought I would put this on here for two reasons.

     

    1) being relatively new to all this I found that as I have been going along in my current rebuild. I have often run out of key things required and hopefully this list can help others prepare whist they wait for their BBB to arrive.

     

    2) I will have more than likely missed something, which I would be most great full if you could direct me in what else I need or whether I'm ordering too much or not enough of something!

     

    Poppers/snaps

    Going to be going with the double snap method using webbing instead of elastic for the ab, kidney, back plate etc. So gonna need a lot!

     

    40 poppers going double for back, side, and shoulder straps.

    4 poppers for thighs.

    4 for chest to abb plate.

    10 for arms.

    1 for top of ab.

    2 for ab to belt.

    2 for crotch

    2 for shoulder straps

    Total snaps = 65 order x100 for those ones that don't want to work!

     

    X100 =£ 7.99 *acquired*

     

    White elastic

    50 cm of x50mm wide for chest to back

    plate.

    X100cm =£ 1.85 *acquired*

    Or 40mm white webbing

    So far for all parts required total cost is £41.86 or around $61.15 USD.

    All orders are at the minimum unit value or length available closest to the required amount. Which allows for the odd mistake here and there.

    This is excluding the cost of rivets and pan head screws.

    X20 =£2.68

  5. CTIDs E-11 resin build

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted

    Definitely a DD, I can tell by the crappy D ring. I love their kits, and have built a few, but I was not aware that they were supplying scope rails, though. If you want to carry your build even farther, Marc, I suggest getting one of t-jay's AWESOME E-11 finishing kits, which includes all sorts of detail pieces, (including a new D ring). I used one on my last DD build, and it looks incredible. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28444-fs-completion-sets-for-e-11-resin-kits-with-worldwide-insured-shipping-and-paypal/

    I'm weighing that up as we speak.

    Might have to put a pin in that for the time being as I'm about to pay for my new armour, which is ready to ship!

    Ok so this arrived this morning, so I thought I may as well start my WIP thread.

     

    20a14992cf6d2da7330bb0487144477c.jpg

     

    It's not as rough a mold as I was expecting. My first kit was a pipe build, and at the time I thought it was a decent effort. Saying that the parts were alot rougher than this, but there's still a fair bit of filing to be done.

     

    I will post more pics soon, just wanted to get the thread up!

    Hello again, from the UK

    in New Member Introductions Archive

    Posted

    Hello again everyone, I opened up my account on here a while back (a year ago, I think) and then just abandoned it. Well now that I got my first stormtrooper kit from RWA (Ross) last month and everyone mentions this place as a great source of information and advice on a build, I've decided to finally make a return here.

     

    Currently the build is not going too well, but hopefully with some of the extra resources and folk on here, I should be able to make it through (hopefully).

    Get a WIP thread up..... if you've not already done so mate. If you put the link here I'm sure others will follow it and comment in order to help you on your way
