Hi Everyone,
So I was going to wait until I performed a few build steps, before starting my build thread, but then I thought, where the heck do I even start? That was when I realized, my build thread might be the place for that.
I ordered my AP armour in August, and received my Big Brown Box in October. Defying all laws of anticipation and self-control, I stared at that box for 6 months. I was extremely busy with work, and I decided to wait until I was truly ready to commit. I have now opened the box and, in what I can only assume is typical fashion, I have laid out all the pieces on a table, and immediately suffered from an anxiety attack. That's a lot of white shiny plastic, and I am in no way qualified to start gluing it together and punching it full of holes. That's when I realized, where better to turn than this kind, wonderful, intelligent, atypically good looking community of individuals (did I mention how virile you all appear to be?)? So here we go.
So far I have the following items . . .
- AP fully trimmed armour kit
- Aker voice amp
- Static burst module
- AP gloves and holster
- Resin cast blaster (pics attached)
So after posting my Introduction thread, I got an overwhelming number of encouraging welcome messages and was repeatedly told, ask ask ask! So I figured, let's start my build thread. So far, after some brief back and forth with members on that thread, I have decided I am going to take this nice and slow, and my goal is a Centurion build. Why not do it right the first time, right?
So, my first questions . . .
0001. (No, seriously, I think leading with 3 zeros is realistic) I have looked at the CRLs on the 501st web site, and I really don't know what the physical differences are between Hero and Stunt. I know in what context they were used (in the movies) and for what purpose they were originally created, but I don't know what physical characteristics are different when it comes to a costume build. I feel really stupid. Can someone please help me with this?
0002. What should I do first? I mean absolute first. I don't want to do anything that can't be undone, or waste a bunch of time trying to get ahead of myself. Should I wait for the first available armour party in my region (Ontario, Canada), or should I roll up my sleeves and start somewhere?
That's it for now. Hope I wasn't an idiot for starting this so early.
Thanks!
Dan
