Congrats!!! Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Thanks all for the above comments. Dana asked about the belt earlier. Anovos appear to have noticed that folks are pulling their belts apart, and having trouble at that. Anovos' response is to no longer supply the belt assembled. A good move IMO. Unfortunately the belt itself is still way to soft, and this will need to be replaced. Not included above are photos of the holster. Upon feeling it I instantly regretted my decision not to have ordered a replacement from Darman Props earlier this month and combining postage with a IO/MS5 holster I have coming for another project. The holster is extremely hard, and will need a lot of work to soften. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Sort of. I mean like this: Or like this: Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

I'm curious: (over kill aside) has anyone fitted a dial liner for a ACH/MICH tactical helmet to a TK bucket? Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Hi Dana I ordered in September 2016. The initial delivery period was Q1, 2017. That changed toward the end of that period to Q2, 2017. Anovos shipped my kit on approx 21 June. It was delivered to Melbourne, Australia literally a couple of days later - I had a missed delivery due to nobody being home to receive the DHL delivery. In terms of differences between this and the earlier kits, I couldn't say I'm aware of too many. The helmet lining is an obvious one. The earlier one had a hard hat style suspension system I believe whereas the kit I received features Velcro helmet pads. Unfortunately if one intends darkening the inside of the bucket the Velcro needs to be removed. I haven't checked the belt yet, but where I think previous versions were assembled this one isn't. I'll check tonight (if I remember [emoji1]). The one thing I did notice is that the shins are still mislabelled [emoji849]thank goodness for all the debates about "shin-gate" [emoji1] Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Hi all Mine's a familiar tale: got drawn in by the fancy website and attractive pricing and ordered an OTTK kit from Anovos late last year, suffered through broken promises of timely delivery, and 9 months later a beautiful BBB was delivered to a loving home on the outer rim planet that is Melbourne, Australia. But life does not stop while awaiting a BBB, and it actually got delivered a week before we moved house and a further fortnight elapsed before I cracked the seal. And a further month elapsed before I made the first cut. Obligatory bucket shot: My build largely follows that of UKswrath, however, I draw inspiration from many of the fine folks here (Kman, maninthesuitcase, and many, many more). I think I have collected most of the parts and supplies required (and even started another costume over at the IOC) while I awaited, and awaited, and awaited the arrival of the BBB. I've no doubt I'm forgetting something, but here's the rundown: Helmet: Anovos. Cooling system from Sly on an Echo bracket. Audio enhancements are planned, but I'm still considering options. Also still considering padding/internal suspension options. Armour (yes, I spell it with a "u" ): Anovos Hand armour: JustJoseph silicone upgrade Belt: likely to upgrade once armour girth is measurable Brackets, internal: Mr No Stripes Undersuit: (sigh) I'm long in the torso and short in the limbs, so finding a suit has proved challenging. I started by going for a 1 piece from Stormtrooperundersuit (aka eXtreme Racing), however, the front and rear wedgies were visually unappealing to an audience and even less fun for me. I then tried the 2 piece, which reminds me more of a tracksuit (do any of the UK Garrison use these?). I eventually settled on a 2 piece set from Aldi which cost me about $30! Neck seal: Darman Gloves: black rubber gloves from the local supermarket. I have a pair from Stormtrooperundersuit which I'll probably use from trooping. Balaclava: Stormtrooperundersuit Boots: TK Boots Garter Suspension: Ty (pending delivery) Blaster, E11: DoopyDoos with various upgrades. Obligatory first cut photos (don't worry, I'm only using the Anovos manual to check off parts LOL! The file also contains print outs of UKswrath's guide and the FISD blaster guide): I won't bore everyone with photos of parts being trimmed. I should also mention, RL is pretty busy so this is likely to be a pretty slow build Stay tuned though RR

lol! Trello! I thought I was the only one planning their build this way [emoji4] although my board isn't nearly as well organised as yours (or my build advanced). Great job and will certainly be improving my board! So inspired after seeing this!! Part of my board below (as much as can be seen on an iPhone screen [emoji6]) Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Nice one, Shane! Good luck with the application, mate. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Looks really great, Brian. Pity you didn't document your build - I've got many of the same after market parts Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Apart from a few negligible and easily corrected accuracy items in respect to the OT TK, the biggest criticism I've heard about Anovos is around supply. Demand obviously exceeds supply, and delivery dates are repeatedly pushed out by 3-6 months. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

I feel for their customer service staff. Fans can be a real PITA to deal with, but if they communicated better and held true to their commitments, the number of queries could be minimised. The customer experience is not great. By this stage I'd expect us all to be receiving at least an estimated week of despatch. Perhaps my expectations are too high. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Exactly. [emoji19] Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Anovos still sticking to the party line regarding shipping in Q1 2017. Screen shot taken this morning (AEST). Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Great video [emoji1303] Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

I was wondering the same... Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

I think UKwrath sells TD clips. Have you checked the continuous sales section? Good luck on the build Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

FWIW I read on the Anovos FB build group of someone Sydney (Australia) based who ordered in mid-August and had their TK kit shipped in November (IIRC). Based on their history this was probably the exception rather than the norm. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Interesting. So what the above scanned pages note is that what we see is not a galactic definition of the Shoretrooper armour, but that which is local and environmentally best suited to Scarif. What we see is a TK on rotation to Scarif wearing gear to suit local conditions: a "Scarif Shoretrooper". Am I interpreting that correctly? Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

So much better than "Elf on the Shelf". If you wrote a short book to accompany it you'd be a bazillionaire [emoji1] Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

It was virtually 2 months to the day before my kit was despatched. During that time I sent 2 or 3 emails enquiring the order status, which went unanswered. The patience of a Jedi is required when dealing with Doopydoos. Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Really enjoying your build. Thanks for posting. Did you only glue the grip to the receiver (I think that's what it's called) or did you also attach via screw for extra holding power? Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

I received email notification that the blaster kit I ordered on 11/10 was shipped today Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Sorry, not sure if it linked correctly, but if you search for "shim" I now there's a point where he adds shims to his thighs... Btw, it sounds like we have similar... dimensions.... [emoji6] so I'll be keen to see how you go [emoji4] Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk

Hey buddy Looking forward to following your build. Which kit do you have? I saw in ukwrath's Anovos build he referred someone to this build for shim examples: Haribon72's ANH Stormtrooper NE Hero Build https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/26001-Haribon72%27s-ANH-Stormtrooper-NE-Hero-Build&share_tid=26001&share_fid=44557&share_type=t HTH Sent from my DH77 using Tapatalk
