TK-42134

Working on the helmet. I was putting decals on when disaster struck. Well, not really but... After talking with a fellow trooper I decided to go the hand painted route. Here’s how it looks so far. I’m going to add the grey tomorrow. Then add the stripes later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. I sucked it up and went for finishing the frown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Started painting the frown. I’m a little anxious to paint the ends on the left and right sides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good morning. Getting around to working on my faceplate. I’ve trimmed the teeth and any filing them down. How are they looking so far? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I may, I'd like to alert you to a typo. When describing the Victory 1000 EIB, and the next Milestone it says "once the dust settles from Victory 10000".

Dave is actually going to send me out another. His customer service skills are top notch. He said there was another trooper that is doing a Death Trooper and can use the one I just got, so I’m mailing it back to him.

I went to trim the teeth on my frown, and noticed the new Faceplate Dave sent me is cracked. [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ended up getting my forearms trimmed and sanded. Just have to fit them to me, cut them, and glue em together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has begun!!! Made the first official cut on my AM Armor. Listening to some Amon Amarth (A Melodic Viking Death Metal group. GREAT stuff!) while I get to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know why Tapatalk posted this three times.

Getting the itch to start this thing. One thing I noticed was some “blisters” on my bells. Is this normal on AM kits? In certain lighting conditions it is more noticeable. I think I will start with my forearms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome. We are opposites. I did a TK then a TB. Looking forward to your approval.

Welcome Jay. You found the right place for your love of Stormtroopers. I started off the same way as you. I loved the iconic look of the Stormtroopers in A New Hope and for years thought about joining the 501st. I didn't have the right skill set to make my own armor, but ended up buying a kit, and assembling it, with the help of members on these boards, and fellow members of what is now the Garrison I am part of. You will find no shortage of help here. I hope you are able to complete your journey and join the ranks.

Welcome to the F.I.S.D. Thank you for your service, sir.

It’s here. I just finished unwrapping all of the packing material off of it. I noticed my faceplate had a weird bubble under the left eye. But it will be replaced with a new one. More pics to come soon. I’m very excited to start putting it together, and begin another armor building journey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty stoked, as today is BBB day for my very first set of AM armor. I will post pics as soon as it gets here.

This is an awesome build thread, as usual Tony. I will be receiving my AM 4.5 on Monday. I cant wait to get started.

I bought this just before I started to pursue my Expert Infantry badge. I ended up getting #891. Congratulations again, to all who were part of this glorious March to 1000. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I better go stock up on ink. Seriously though, thank you.

[mention]gmrhodes13 [/mention] Thank you. We need to find a publisher for this and get it on a bestseller list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Caleb. You made AJ's build thread printable? That is awesome. I was just thinking I wish I could have had a copy of it for my next build. How do I access it?

Hello Dan. I'm the one that sold you the armor. I'd be more than happy to meet up with you when you are ready and help you get ready for submission photos.

Get the champagne ready.
