Well here it is, after a long wait I am finally going to start this build thread. As I had said in my merchandise posts, I am in the middle of a job change and a move to Ohio so don't expect rapid updates like BIDS' build thread. lol I was anxious to get this posted though so here we go!
I will start with the classic, "box hug picture" that I envied for so long:
...and of course I immediately opened up the box and HAD to put on the helmet!!
**NOTE - because my plans include going EIB/Centurion I asked Rob to leave off his decals that I will be replacing anyway with hand painted decals.**
I have to say, Rob takes care of his parts. I love how meticulously packaged everything is:
...and here it all is minus the fabric belt, I would have already bought that but after reading Darth Aloha's build thread I was under the impression that one was included but that is not the case anymore.
One thing I noticed while inspecting pieces is that is looks like the RT thigh ammo belt is already rounded off as required for Centurion.
