Have the decals on my Husky storage container.

Yeah huge let down. I pre-ordered it last December. That’s plenty of time to iron all of this out before production. Having them find this issue a month before the deadline to get them all out seems to show they are either waiting to the last minute or way behind on their products. Also worries me on what the final product will look like.

Well crap, Anovos pushed back the delivery date of the kit. I’m glad they are doing it because it wasn’t meeting standards. Wish it was caught sooner. Below is the response from them on the issue found. During production of this kit our quality control team discovered that many pieces did not meet our high quality standards and these imperfections warranted the halt of production on these pieces. To be more specific, as part of the process of quality control our team randomly 3D scans our own vacuform bucks. During this process, they found a couple issues that they decided to take action on : life of the mold and inaccuracy. The first thing they discovered was that these molds only had a maximum half life of a few more pulls which would have then compromised the integrity and wastage of subsequent pulls. Secondly, by bringing these molds into the 3D environment, they noticed contouring issues that did not allow for the armor to line up correctly. Therefore, they decided to not only remake the molds in steel, but they also decided to go back to scans they had taken from the original armor actually used on set and reprint them for the purposes of this kit. In essence, for quality and accuracy reasons the armor pieces have returned to the early pre-production stages. Our team has assigned extra personnel to the project in order to mitigate further delays to this kit. Unfortunately, after reviewing the potential effects this discovery has upon our previous production schedule it was determined that we must update the anticipated delivery window to Fall 2017.

Received my metal holster made by R2DAN in the mail today.

Received my blasters in the mail. Made by Heston3dsolutions.

Awesome thanks!! As soon as I get my TK number I will look them up.

Jafo, where did you get your plates?

Here is the Husky storage container completely painted. Working on getting the vynl for the First Order logos now. Will be getting a plaque with my TK number once I get it.

I'll let you know how the aerator swap goes when I get my kit in the mail. Yeah I plan on putting a first order logo on the red section. I finished painting it late last night and will post a picture later on today on how it turned out. Have some over spray and a few areas that need to be touched up. However overall it turned out pretty good. First time doing something like this.

Finally started painting my storage box.

Well that sucks. Was hoping I was getting something that would last me more than a few troops.

My undersuit from 'Stormtrooper Undersuit' came today. After opening the package I didn't think it would fit. Though sure enough it did, though very skin tight. Still Prepping my storage container was hoping to have a least a coat of paint on it by now. Taping everything off has taken a lot longer than expected.

Prepping my Stormtrooper storage for paint. You can also see the colors it will be painted.

My Aerator from Vaderpainter and helmet electronics from ukswrath came in today.

Picked up a storage container for my armor last night. Plan on painting it with a New Order twist.

Thanks, that makes sense I went ahead and ordered the Blasters.

Thanks! How hard are the blasters to modify? I asked the seller and he hadn’t drilled into his blasters before. Sounded like he might be able to modify it with working bolts if I could give him general placement, spacing between the bolts and length of the bolt as well. Thank you again.

After waiting a year for Anovos to deliver I decided to switch to Diversity Props. I will be adding photos from the very early stages of the creation of the armor until it is completed. Below is everything I have purchased to complete my kit. Some of it was bought in anticipation of the Anovos kit that will now be included with my Diversity Props kit.
