Hi everyone! Before starting, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has posted their builds & those who commented with feedback! So many nuggets of information were found after hours of reading these boards!
I ordered my AP kit from Mark on May 4, 2015...... I started the build pretty much immediately, and honestly haven't been too diligent with my photos. But I've got some of which I'll post here shortly with hopes for feedback. I've completed a lot......right up to the strapping and most painting. My goal is Centurion status, functionally ready for Halloween, and fully 501st approved for December's release of TFA.
Left to go:
Belt Assembly
Cover strips (final install)
Trimming of bite points!
Painting of Tube Vents on helmet, and all rivets
Holster purchase and install
Neck seal purchase and install
Hovi Tip purchase and install
E-11 Kit purchase and build
Belt Clips purchase and install
Fan purchase and install
Flexi-hand guards install
Miscellaneous Tweaks and Details........
I'll follow up with photos after editing a few with comments, etc. I look forward to the feedback to my questions, and to anything else you see!
