Perfect, worth adding to the reference section? I just double checked and the dimensions aren't there.

Depending on what you paid it's going to be around £100 (I was the $450 tier but had a 10% discount). The 2 part shipment might stuff that up though, will depend on what the values on the boxes say. The handling fee from FedEx is some percentage I can't recall, minimum £12 which is what I used when I worked it out. Sounds like they invoice you rather than hold the package which is a small mercy.

T-Jay would you be able to tell me how wide the extractor plunger is? I need to add one to my DD kit and I am not sure how wide it is.

They are plowing through these delivery notifications: Just got a notification to ship to the UK. Ordered June 27th, should be here Friday. Now to play the Tax and Duty fun and games.

DBoz managed to get the rivet covers off his belt with a bit of careful knife use (http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35115-dboz-anovos-tk-build/?p=461544). Seems they are super glued on, does anyone know if superglue remover will eat ABS at all?

Good job on the belt. Glad to hear it can come apart.

I did think that and may do once I've finished this kit and my doopy doo build, oh and TKVoice. Too many projects already!

Still waiting for my armour but so far that only thing I've seen that worries me is that bit that looks melted. However in your case how much of that will be removed to get the return edge down a bit? The other item I'd like to discuss is has anyone attempted to remove the stickers for the traps or tube stripes yet to allow hand painting? I've seen people say they should come off but none actually removed yet.

The RS looks "fatter" to me and the teeth are very different. But other than that they do appear very similar.

I completely understand the reasons why but I feel like I am missing out on a right of passage. So I asked, they said no and that was that.

Admiralty grey is the humbrol brand paint which is the correct grey. Same goes for the French blue they mention.

I wonder if they refined the technique during production. Same for the ears, so as they do more they get better at it. I'd be very happy if that was my bucket.

I did email asking for it in kit form and they said that this wasn't possible. If I want a kit helmet then they suggested buying one separately.

The instruction download is up: http://www.anovos.com/pages/star-wars-product-instructions

its there. I got a photo from someone on the Facebook group.

I think you miss judged my intent. I wasn't moaning that I have to wait more it will be kind of cool to get something a bit earlier, even if it's not overly useful initially.

I guess for those of us further down the list getting soft parts earlier is a bit of a consolation prize.

Looks like the kits are shipping. There's a photo from the RPF on the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/838545079553903/permalink/972466096161800/ edit: also there's a comment on an Anovos post that confirmed shipping has started: https://www.facebook.com/ANOVOS/photos/a.376294074213.156830.109162604213/10153903238089214/?type=3&permPage=1

If I had to guess it means you went from standard to express shipping ?

It should reopen once they have shipped the orders already paid for.

Also the $650 kits are currently closed for ordering until they ship the pre-orders. Once those have shipped then the orders will reopen for later runs.

Give it a few weeks...

So long as its just a punched hole I can't see how you couldn't just drill out the rivet. Question is if you do need a new canvas belt, what glue was used for the rivet caps and can you salvage the plastic part or is that no good either. edit: maybe "built belt" just means the holster and belt are attached, not the plastics. I'm going to stop guessing now.

Is there a prize for the first person to post proof of a tracking number? I mean other than a large amount of grief from those of us further down the list.

I wonder how the rogue one armour will change that. Does it give them a fresh chance to copyright it?
