Oh and I'm a real dummy when it comes to building stuff too!!!

I built my TK almost exclusively by myself, in my apartment, using only scissors, clamps and magnets. I bought them specifically for this build as I have no tools outside of a basic rachet/screwdriver set. It's really doable, unless you live in one of those tiny home you see on TV... [emoji12]

Sorry about that man! Send me a PM, I might have something for you

Got this beauty a few weeks ago! I got busy with troops and family stuff but I finally got around to post about it here. It's really the coolest, I'm gonna frame it!!! Thanks for doing this man

I have armor but no cookies! [emoji17] Easy, right? Get cookies, you say! But if I get cookies, I will HAVE to eat said cookies and then I won't fit my armor anymore!!! [emoji24] [emoji24][emoji24] Sure, I could eat cookies and exercise, but let's be honest for a second, who would willingly chose to exercise when they could be eating cookies!!! I LOVE COOKIES, THERE I SAID IT, OK?!?!? Nice patch BTW Envoyé de mon LG-D852 en utilisant Tapatalk

Thanks NoVATie! Good day to you sir

Hi there! Newly approved TK 21879 requesting 501st access. Profile : http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=21950 Thanks!

I know the pain man! I redid that joint at least 6 times, inner and outer strips combined. I ended up using two locking pliers, a ton of magnet and an old wooden chest like this : As crazy as it may sound, the chest allowed the two halves to flatten and keep flush until the glue dried. I could share a pict with you tomorrow, but it's like night and day!

I cut the cloth belt around the rivets, drilled them, then pried the covers off. The cool thing about drilling the rivets is that the heat makes that pink glue softer. I cleaned the button covers with the dremel, going slow and steady. Here's a few tips : 1- Cover the buttons with painter's tape. You don't want to damage them! 2- Use a butter knife to pry off the button covers. You don't want a sharp blade slipping and damaging your plastic belt! 3- If you can't pry them off, better cut your losses and cut a square around the rivet at the back of the belt. Better that than having the plastic tear! Oh, and good luck!

Would you recommend that method for OT TK shins? I have Anovos armor and the back of the shins doesn't quite line up properly with Velcro, even Industrial Strenght...

Woah man, your to-do list is almost word for word the same as mine [emoji14] I need to update my build thread but I'd rather use that time to, you know, actually build the thing!!! Keep up the good work, you seem to be on the right track

Yeah, you're probably right. This might go like it did for the FOTK helmets...

Anovos buyers be like : Let's say they are as good at hitting delivery targets as TK are at hitting rebels...

Should I? [emoji12] I've been putting 1 hour every night, but weekends are a no go these days... There's always something, like this week, my nephew is visiting, so not much armor time! At least the thighs are done, this is what has been bugging me for at least a week. I kept trying, waiting for the e6000 to cure, come back the day after to realize I had to do it again :'(

Ok, so quick update here! Since my last post, I got busy assembling those thighs. I'm not gonna lie, it was brutal. The back takes some convincing to get right : I had to redo it 3 times before I got it to work. I had to sand the bottom of one side caused it overlapped while the e6000 was drying. I bought some more magnets, a locking clamp and threw everything at it, et voila! During that time, I also managed to sand off most of my pieces to get them ready for assembly. So just like like that, all my halves are glued with inner strips! There's more to tell but my bed is calling for now!

That's what I ended up using. Well that, a locking clamp and magnets... Lots and lots of magnets!!! As for inner strips, I used the leftovers for trimming. They aren't very thick but it's seems fine so far!

These thighs have been the bane of my existence this past week! I just can't get the back to meet properly without considerable force... I'm doing inner strips and keeping the cover one for later though I'm thinking this might part of the reason why it's causing me so much trouble. You seem to have managed it pretty well! Keep up the good work!
