What part of NY are you located?

Well after careful consideration, I just placed my order for the ANH TK armor with Anovos. Now I just gotta finish that blaster.....
Looking forward to asking many questions here in the future!

Okay, this just may work. I'll add my Flickr album below....

Not sure how to put actual pics within my post just yet. I'll figure it out

Well, I've had my kit a couple months or so now. Also ordered the T-Jay's finishing kit and Gazmosis magazine. Figured I'd get a build thread started. So far, the only thing I've been able to finish somewhat decently is the scope. I'll throw some pics up in a bit. I also picked up a Sterling folding stock for my build that I'd love to use (if I can get the pins out sometime this century)
Now to find an image hosting server...........

I've been having a similar problem removing the resin screw blobs. Can't seem to drill the hole in the proper location. It's gotten so bad I'm considering cutting the whole muzzle off and ordering a 3D printed one from Shapeways...

Ah yes, a drill bit would be a good idea! Thanks! I must attempt this...
-
Those pins.... I have bent about 50 nails now trying to hammer them out. Used heat, pliers, liquid wrench.... any further thoughts??
-
Can't get those dang pins out... They're thru just a teeny bit but now all I'm doing is bending nails trying to hammer them out. Are they tapered on one end perhaps?
-
Bah. Just ignore that. Found Gazmosis' build page...
-
For those that have put a real stock on - how do the pivot pins come out? Prying doesn't seem to work...

Seriously, the folding stock is pointless....There is no reference to it in any of the movies.
So why bother...??
Adding a folding stock to the DD kit is like adding a hat to the mona lisa..........

There are definitely no references to a folding stock in the films. Nor are there for a functioning bolt, see-through scope, magazine release mechanism, selector switch and a working trigger. Yet people mod them accordingly. Just a thought....
-
Thanks for the input. As I plan on trooping one day, I will take this into consideration!
-
Has anyone tried a Sterling folding stock on a DD kit? I'm rather curious to know if it's a good idea. Bought one on eBay today just in case. Otherwise it'll make for good reference material.
-
I ordered one from Gazmosis. Thanks!
-
Hey thanks Mr Lord! I'm going to make sure I research more before posting next time....
-
Okay - apparently I'm an idiot. I was looking at a separate casting not included in the DD kit. You may disregard.....

Hello peeps. Newbie here. I just received my E-11 kit from DoopyDoos (almost 2 months later) I was looking at reference pics and it looks like my magazine casting is incorrect (based on reference pics I see around here.) I believe there is supposed to be a clip or something on it, plus it looks too short. I'd really like some input on this as I'm rather clueless....
-
I ordered my kit early last month. I was kinda hoping they'd include an order status option on their website. Do they pass along tracking info on orders?
-
Thanks! Ordered myself a DD E11 kit yesterday, but still researching which armor kit to buy. I'm 90% Anovos committed but still leary as nobody has any physical experience with them.

I suppose it was about time that I signed up. Been browsing this site for a couple of years now....
i saw A New Hope in '77 at the age of 5. Since then, I've been an addict. I've been mellowing out with collecting in my later years but decided that trooping looks like something I could really get in to.
Anyway, I met a couple of 501st members yesterday in Verona at the Scare-a-con convention and decided I need to get myself motivated to start a build. I've watched many hours of video and read many pages of info regarding the creation of several armors. My procrastination was mainly which build do I want to start with? Once I was informed about the Anovos kit I pretty much made up my mind. Hopefully it will be acceptable for the 501st (I understand it will need to be modified to some extent)
So that's about it. Looking forward to talking with you all!
Anovos TK armor preorder
in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

Not sure if this has been answered (and I really don't want to read back 108 pages...) Has anyone received word if the 'first run' of orders only includes the $350 pre-order? Or, as they have suspended ordering, will the later $650 kits ship at the same time?
