Thanks for the link. Very good info there!

[A Fat Guy's Build Attempt - Anovos]

Like 1000's of other people, I got my Anovos kit last week!  Things came in good shape.  I definitely need a new neck seal, no way to zip it up on a 19.5" neck.  I'm about 5'8", almost 300 pounds.  I have my doubts about this fitting, but I couldn't pass up trying at this price.  So here's my build thread.  

 

First thing, I am not going to rush through this build.  I've been trimming a couple of pieces a day. I am an official member of the Mercs, so I'm not in any rush for a con or anything. My desire is to do this right, if at all possible. 

 

Below are pictures of a rough trim.  Seriously, need to smooth edges, it's cutting into my neck, ouch!  Anyway, I feel alright about the up/down fit, but really worried about the sides. Really looks like there is going to be a large space there. 

 

 

 

 

As I go, of course I'll add more pictures. As always, feedback is appreciated!

Thank you to everyone who discussed your experiences working with Rob.  I've been looking into a kit for a while, but actually created a custom mando for the Mando Mercs this past year.  I just sent Rob an email, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[Hello from Indiana]

Although I have not yet decided what I want to build out, I decided to go ahead and join the forums here and at www.thebhg.net.  Trying to decide between maybe a Death Watch Grunt and perhaps ANH Trooper.  Just trying to wrap my ahead around all the acronyms and have read thru a lot of the pinned posts.  Extremely helpful information.

 

My biggest concern is really just size, I'm about 5'7" and 275 lbs.  I figured the flight suit with a Death Watch Grunt would provide a bit more flexibility with my size, although being something like an ANH Trooper would be ideal.  

 

Just wanted to say thanks, not only for all the helpful information, but for all the work that is done in your communities.  Very inspiring.
