Only difference I find between painted and non painted is the after care, I have soft pouches for all my armor so they don't get chipped or scratched in transport. The occasional crack can happen with painted and non painted but sometimes the painted can chip which is a little harder to fix. There is also some of the details which need work, forearms, yoke to back and abdomen, all need either filling with automotive filler then painted or filled with ABS paste sanded and compound polish. All the first runs of the ANOVOS FOTK's where painted as they also needed joining in quite a few places. Some have built their DN suits with ABS paste and I've seen a few fully painted, there are really pros and cons for both so it's entirely up to each individual how they want to build and finish.

I use these for snap plate holders, especially when using nylon snap plates, clamp one piece on either side Just watch trimming the ends of the cover strips I noticed this one looked a little round, screen where just trimmed angled

This is my trick for stubborn snap posts A block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around can help when sanding parts to get straight lines/cuts. -
Jedxh's Rogue One E-11 Build (FieldMarshall/BlasterFactory)
gmrhodes13 replied to Jedxh's topic in R1 BlasTech E11
Came out a treat, you must be happy with that. -
There isn't much weird we haven't seen before It's much the same way as using a pencil wood scribe, I'm pretty simple so a ruler and pencil does fine.

Boots as of April 2024
gmrhodes13 replied to Generalsneers's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
I would also suggest looking through our gallery sections if you are thinking of any other supplier, there are a lot of boots which look close at first glance but can have other issues, front stitching, low elastic on sides, large heel and so on. Boots -

Easier to trim a little more off than try to add it back -

Also don't cut into corners, best to drill then cut, the round hole should prevent splitting -

Did you read the links I posed? -
Sounds like you have done your research. Detonator also different between the two versions. TFA TLJ has an inner pipe/tube with black areas of the housing cut out Some links for you: Great Anovos build by Ukswrath Also DN build by TheRascalKing Metal holster Rubber gaskets http://www.tandaworkshop.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Thorsson-Associates-Workshop-112076042142986 Resin hand guards There are some small differences in the blaster so check visual references from the movies Looking forward to seeing your build

Any foreign material mixed can change the color of the ABS paste.
