So cool! the TK doing the stick thing was awesome!
-
picked up a few small bolts and screws and a spring at lunch today. Also a metal bar for the scope rail and a PVC pipe scrap for the bolt. The pipe is a tad wide to fit inside the DD. I haven't decided if I'm going to trim it to "make it fit" or try something else.

Single guy, so this is goin down in my living room, on the coffee table I built and my kids have colored all over! LOL! white shavings everywhere! Lots of grinding, shaping, sanding, filing. started drilling holes and dry fitting parts, gluing in small posts for support... even superglued my pinky to my hand!
-
So, a perfectly intact box arrived today... (obligatory box photos)
I don't plan to document a detailed build here as there are plenty of great builds already. I'll post progress as I have it. I also don't plan to go all out and make it super fancy. I'm really impressed and a little intimidated by the creativity of the builds on here. My goals for this build are to have fun and build a durable blaster for trooping. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the link and pics! Looks great!
-
Awesome, great info, thank you! BTW, I'm interested in one of your helmets as a collector/display piece.

I'm on the list for the next run of AM kits. The main worry I have is their helmet comes with separated cap and back. Almost all other makers have a single piece cap/helmet back. I'm told it's recently updated, easier to assemble and more durable. I'm concerned about the seam around the back. I haven't been able to locate a complete build for this 3-piece helmet on FISD (unless I'm overlooking it).
Thoughts? Get a different bucket? Stop stressing and wait for it to arrive? Maybe buy the ATA helmet to build while I wait for the armor?

This is gonna be awesome! Following!

Chiassontimothy mounted extra glasses inside the helmet...

Sounds like the return is the best option. I almost bought armor from a site that I will not mention. But my OCD research and talking to some local 501st members brought me here before making that mistake. Good luck!

"Parker was such an amazing kid; he always found the best in any situation.
That was a rough day, but we have many fond memories of our Troops with him...
He will always be an inspiration for us."
I just got something in my eye... that's all.

I was curious about sitting. Do you have to take the butt plate off?
-
Best wedding pic ever! Good luck!
-
Good thing you did, because I was about to! haha!

This eBay item ships worldwide and you'd get TWO BLASTERS!

looks like a black under suit too.

Any progress on this helmet build? I'm waiting for the new set of AM armor and am interested in how this style turns out vs the already combined cap/back versions.
-
There's more of it this afternoon.
-
My progress list updated... I'll probably add bucket fans and voice amp to it. Anything I'm overlooking?
-
Looks great! Still waiting for my pieces in the mail...
-
Pow! Just ordered all kinds of goodies from trooperbay!

Good suggestions, thanks! I was planning to look up trooperbay pretty soon.

Welcome! I'm new also. My only suggestion at this point is start reading the build threads. You'll have an idea of what to expect and what supplies/accessories you can start gathering. Good luck!

interesting new project (tv head)

My girlfriend's teenager has asked me to build a "tv head." I naturally assumed it was someone with a tv for a head and some quick googling confirmed this. She already has an old TV and I picked up a bunch of supplies today. We'll get started tomorrow evening and I'll take lots of pictures during the build. I have some ideas of what we can do, but if anyone else has heard of or done this sort of thing, feel free to chime in... wish me luck!
