The issue would be that those here on the forums and throughout the legion only make up a part of their sales, many more unsuspecting members of the public have also ordered from them. Yes everyone here could cancel their orders, would it impact Anovos, I’d think it would at least in a small way, but I’d suggest their answer would only be to sell the overstocked kits at a reduced price to get rid of them once they finally have them. Who really knows what is going on in Anovos, who is telling the truth and why is it taking so long to supply. Sure there’s lots of excuses but when you can supply other products then what’s the problem. Its definitely not doing their company name much good the way they are going, you’d think anyone with a Disney licence would try to do better. Its flip a coin time, hang in there and wait some more or cancel and go elsewhere, but even that can be fraught with danger

A nice idea, you must have a lot of room in those calves. I've seen a similar setup used on FOTK's to help hold the backplate together and instead of a pin, magnets are used on both sides, they are just recessed into the housings, could be a little easier than threading a long pin?

Have a look through Tony's Anovos build, some great info to follow and how to make the kit more accurate, you can find it here

Just a side note, make sure you check out the requirements for EIB and Centurion from the get go if wish to apply for those as there are some extra differences at the higher levels

Just bumping this thread, interested hearing if the armor is still being circulated and continuing helping other younglings in need? Any update?

Looking forward to the progress. You can get two piece compression clothing, works well for me, cool in summer and easy to find at most gym retailers. Comms I use a 1506 Aker amp from eBay and an icomm static burst unit available in the for sale section or web search icomm. Good luck with the build.

Great news, congrats and welcome to the ranks trooper.

Can't see anything here. Easiest way to add multiple of images is as has already been suggested, using an online photo host ie Imgur, upload your photos then copy the direct link to those images, has worked well for many with their builds over the years

List of all garrisons and squads can be found here https://www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php

Every bit of time adds up in the end Always good to have other projects in the background for those quiet times Looking foward to seeing the paint applied.

Correct there arent a lot of differences between them but some still dont see the obvious ones

For accuracy Hero helmets have the bubble lenses, I troop with mine quite a lot but they are a lot harder to see out of and can become annoying if worn for long periods. Occasionally there are runs of bubble lenses but I haven't seen one for some time

Really a question for your GML (garrison membership liaison) as it is he/she who will ultimately be looking over your costume application. Colouring should match but depends on just how much different they look, perhaps posting a photo would help us

They aren't too hard to make https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/37947-qs-first-order-stormtrooper-vest-heavy-assault-trooper/

I only use the clear, it can though discolour over the years so best to try not let it ooze out the sides, easy enough to rub off with your thumb when dry

I find using one fan at a time enough, I like having the other as a spare for those really long troops. I just have them angled across the front so they sweep air across the lens and my face. It’s amazing how a little air on your face can make you feel that much cooler. Really only use two fans for those really hot or stuffy troops. But what ever works for you

The ideal look is to have the front coverstrips standard sized and increase the size of the coverstrips at the back, but depending on how much extra room you may need it could affect that. Perhaps tape the front of them together and take a photo of a trial fit to see just how much extra room you need before cutting.

Just a tip, when trimming pieces try to use a ruler as a guide, you can also use a block wood with sandpaper wrapped around to help straighten cut lines. This is particularly useful for the thighs as the cover strips stop just above the lower ridge and you want no gap there Keep up the great work.

May not have much to do with anything but a chain of pop culture stores here down under have an update with products they are expecting from Anovos for their premier line helmets, ie Praetorian, TLJ FOTK, Flame trooper, ATAT Driver and a few more, estimated delivery July 2019, which is a long long way off.

Nice work, it is a good tip to use snaps on the elastic as an attachment as it can stretch over time and may need replacing. Although if needed the elastic will pull off the glue if you need to replace
