Wow thanks guys!! I'm above the moon on the confirmation!!!!!<br><br> Thanks to all, appreciate the support here! Big thanks to our local GML Highway for all his help !!! <br><br> Ok, time to come back to earth and get ready for centurion - more to come!!!

Wow thanks on the hand guard details, like they say learn something new every day - I figured I had to do new ones for centurion, sounds like I better get on it - once approved for EIB that is

S-trim is what came with the kit from Anovos.<br><br> You are correct, it is larger than the trim I used for my AP kit from TrooperBay.

There's a light rip, I'm a bit hard on things - but I think I'm going with the rebel story from now on. Tried to repair but thinking its time to get some new ones -

My friend and I went in together to build - I finished mine, she has taken some time off, but just got back on the horse -

I'm in AZ - we have a good garrison here - lots of folks to help out and was a good build -

Yeah, I honestly used a LOT of builds here to help, and our armor master for the DSG was an old pro at AP. It's great armor, and it does have some "ah ha" moments

I happen to have completed it end of last year and almost done on the second set - so yes, and I so need to get the pics uploaded!!! Give me a few days and I'll complete what I started here - guess I needed a little kick

Just ran across this build and wanted to say thanks for posting! I'm doing a simple conversion as well (I'd love to do some of those new barrel and multi-color ones, but that's for next time!) - your build has helped me get going !

I'm taking alllll this advice to heart - just got my AP kit and even after researching for months I let my excitement get the better of me and dove into trimming - taking a step back to make sure things are done following the years of advice out there!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to this thread still being active and pinned - just got my AP kit and looking forward to walking through the steps along side this thread's awesome advice - Thanks a million - very well done !

Thanks - ears are off the table till ready for them - got way to excited and ahead of myself - going to have to learn to take my time and plan these things out -

Hello hello ! My friend and I have finally received our big brown boxes and we're digging in - what a load of stuff to work with! I've been reading reading reading for the last few months on just about everyone's build on here, and thought "oh this won't be too bad!" We also have an awesome armor smith local that has a ton of experience - The obligatory armor inventory shot - The first thing I wanted to do was something I knew I could do - painting - so taped up and sprayed the inside of the helmet black. I've seen this and it looks awesome - adds a bit to the final build and I read get it done first - Currently trying to figure out if I screwed up the ears by getting wayyyyyyyyyyy to excited at learning how to cut this plastic....if I can bring myself to post the pics I will, but for the moment I'm stepping back and doing hour after hour researching ears.... More to come -

I see they are back out of stock, must have been a crazy rush - any idea on how long they usually take to replace their stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to know on all accounts. Was at a build party and watched them zap the shims in the legs and arms. I'm thinking the E6000 sounds like a much safer bet on a first build... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the information guys - I have two AP kits on order at the moment, both untrimmed. Looking to take a shot at doing them as centurion. Figure why not go from the start, so long as AP can handle it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone use ZapaGap for their entire build -? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did the same, money well spent - looking forward to the AP armor getting here so I can be overwhelmed with putting it all together - appears lots of folks here really dig his stuff - Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
