Knockerbot

The only cheapest option takes a long time (like 10 month waiting list right now) and even then its not cheap, if you're going halfway here you may as well go all the way and just build a TK to the best of your ability.<br><br><br> If you're looking for a cheap costume to mess with a costume shop would be the cheap way. Nothing you'll find here is cheap lol.

Thanks Aloha

Oh a build day sounds fun. I'm nervous about doing my helmet maybe I should find someone in Toronto who has done a bunch of AP helmets.

I think I know what was causing the pits in sanding. I'm equating this to bondo so I'm not sure it's correct but id you stir bondo that's exactly what happens when you sand it. You have to fold it slowly instead of stirring. If you stir you get air bubbles. I don't even know if you can do it that way with the paste but it may be whats up.

I'll email him tomorrow, I have apsolutely bombarded him with emails today getting the order done. Thank you Tolo

I do have a contact in New York who crosses the border daily that I could ship to but I'd hate to get him held up at the crossing trying to explain that it's not a Stirling lol<br><br> Mark from AP makes kits or has one from Doopys?

I told my wife she's buying my E-11 for Christmas haha. I'm thinking rubber to be honest. I have a 4 year old at home and what I'd save from buying a diy resin kit I'll lose because I'll have to buy it twice when he smashes it. Although I really do want one. I'd love one of the phoenix props ones.

AP is doing a run of armor with "extenders" in the torso parts and the legs, meaning it should fit guys my size! They have added 6' in the torso (3' on the front and 3' on the back) and 1' on the legs (not sure how they did on that one). I'm 6'1 and 260 pounds so that'll be a nice fit I think Might need to shim for my fat thighs and calves but that's fine by me lol. 6-10 weeks until big brown box day in the Knockerbot household lol. I'll make sure to keep up with a build thread because I know a lot of you guys are my size and can't go into the smaller armor. So excited.

I kind of just want to buy an ATA to build as well. The price is right that's for sure. I have to figure out this screwing on thing too lol.

If I have a large head will the AP not fit well? I honestly like the look of both. They both have done an amazing job at creating these.

Did you order buddy? I'm in the same boat 6'1 260 pounds and thinking of ordering. I wanted ATA but I think AM is my best choice. I was aimed onto RT by the very nice guy at AT but from what I read guys our size do better in AM. How long did it take for them to get back to you? I emailed last night and no response yet.
