[ATA]

Good stuff. You can order the bucket & armor & ask them to ship the bucket first as they generally have those in stock. Last I saw the armor had about an 8 month wait list. That way you have something to work on in the meantime.

[How did you do building first time?]

Keep an eye out on your garrison forum for build parties. It will be worth a two hour drive to get a bit more confident in building.

[ATA Armor Build_My First TK]

If this is you first time building I would strictly use E6000 glue as it is very forgiving but very strong.

[Looking for new TK bucket]

LOL. Are you being sarcastic? Seriously, I'm wanting deeper/more detailed traps and a bit larger.

[Looking for new TK bucket]

I currently have an ATA bucket for my TK and I love it but there are a couple of down sides. It is a bit on the small side and it is a very soft pull. I am looking for a bucket that has sharper details and closer to actual full size. Any suggestions?

[Forearm sizing question]

You'll love your NE kit when it's complete (that's what I have). The forearms are a pain but nothing insurmountable. Now the NE bucket, that's another story.

Sounds like a different gauge plastic was used.

[Name Change Wanted]

Thank you so much!

[Name Change Wanted]

I have asked before but did not get a response. I am wanting to change my user/forum name so it matches my 501st and Midsouth name, Rigel. How can I get this done?

 

Thanks

[Shoulder armor keeps rolling toward my back. How do I correct this?]

That's what I was going to suggest too.

[E6000: 29.7mL or 9mL for an armor?]

I bought two large tubes just to be on the safe side. Gave what remained to the workshop along with a bunch of clamps, sandpaper, webbing & elastic. Helping future TKs.

[Hello from Florida]

501st is very active in Florida. You shouldn't have any problems with finding help on your build.

 

Welcome!

[Undersuits - BCG from Academy, anyone use?]

I have the BCG compression gear in both summer and winter weights. Price is great and they seem to be holding up well. TK2311, I always advise our local guys to go with a size smaller than you think you need to get that skin tight fit. We are fortunate here in Nashville to have a couple Academy Sports locally.

[501st Trooper Status Requests (Include link to your 501st profile in your request!)]

I requested FISD/501st access on 5/17 yet I am still showing as pending on the Legion census. Can this be corrected?

[Sanding ABS tips]

After trimming I used a Dremel to get the really rough stuff off then finished with 200 grit sandpaper by hand until the edges were smooth.

[hypafirm]

Hyperfirm blasters use some type of rubber and they are awesome. Good detail and you don't have to worry about clocking a younglings in the head with it. Very lightweight. A Hyperfirm E11 is on my list of must get for my TK as my resin is SO heavy.

[Child's Undersuit]

I agree with everyone. Dance gear is the way to go for younglings.

[Hey guys, new Deaf trooper]

Also, hook up with some of your local TKs who have built before. It helps out immensely. I never would have been able to figure it out if not for our GML.

Meant to say pulls not plus.

[NE vs RS]

I love my NE kit. The plus were great & very easy to build.

[I'm 5'4 help?]

I am 5'5". I have the NE kit and had to trim lots off of the shins & thighs. All my height is in my torso so didn't really need to make too many adjustments there.

[Hello from Nashville!]

Hi Chris. I am in Nashville and we have fairly regular building parties in the Franklin/Cool Springs area (it's also the GMLs residence). Midsouth's first Centurian came out of that workshop. PM me for me details.

 

I used the snap plates & strap method to put my armor together & it works great.
