I ordered that TD and am eyeing some other soft goods. Last time I got my boots from tkboots but I'm seeing that they're no longer doing them. So I put an alert up for Imperial Boots/Keep Trooping to put in an order on their next wave. Thanks again for all the recommendations I've added a few more things to my wishlist thanks to this thread. I'll need to start up a build thread soon when I am able to get started!

Thanks all so much for the information! I'm definitely trying to do a ton of research. I am looking into this now and I can't believe I didn't check ebay for those TD's. That definitely seems like the route to go although the price is about the same as Trooperbay after shipping. But I think it will match a bit better. Those neck seals are great and I really appreciate the other tips! I am aiming for basic approval but leaving stuff open to upgrades to get to centurion. I did make an Anovos suit before but unfortunately had to sell it when I moved. I am hoping to apply to the 501st again once I get this suit assembled.

Hi everyone, as the title says I bought an unassembled TK ANH Anovos kit and got it delivered only to find out that it was missing a few things (Thermal Detonator, Soft Goods, and Strapping/Harness Parts.) The seller was kind enough to give me a partial refund but I'm looking at replacement parts and some of the costs are a bit shocking. Trooper Bay on Etsy has a full replacement thermal detonator kit for under $40 but I have access to a small vacuum former to do my own end caps but not big enough to do the control panel on it and I think I have some 2in grey PVC conduit scrap laying around somewhere. Are there any sellers I can just source that control panel from to finish it? I have done quite a bit of searching and I'd like it to be accurate. I also have a 3D printer and was looking at making it that way but I would rather just get the panel made properly since then I'd have to sand and paint it and it would be PLA which I feel won't hold up as well as the original ABS. In the end the sub $40 for the kit is reasonable and not a huge deal in the end but I wanted to consider my options. As far as the other bits, I can source most of them without too much trouble but I'm open to suggestions. From my research I need the following still: Neck Seal Rubber gloves Undersuit 30~ line 24 snaps 9 split rivets Various strapping materials like nylon and black and white elastic band

Thanks Ukswrath! I'll go ahead and do that. I signed up for the forums of the GGG which is my local garrison. I haven't posted anything in there yet but I'll go ahead and start the process with the GML! Thought I needed a few more adjustments before basic approval. Just wanting to make sure it's as close as I can get before submitting.

Hey all, posted these photos over in my welcome thread but wanted to have a post here to get some more information regarding finishing my build and to post updated photos once I make the changes. So first off I know I need to make modifications to how the holster attaches to the belt and I should look into buying a new belt correct? I've also been told to glue the ammo pack on the right knee and to make a few adjustments to the fit of the build - like the ammo boxes hanging from the belt. Someone also recommended adjusting my shoulder bells to fit better. It was pointed out that my left thigh piece is hanging down too low and I think that was user error when I was putting the suit on. I have two snaps near my crotch and I think I hooked up the thigh piece to the lower snap instead of the one that's placed a little higher and I didn't notice. I didn't have help when putting the armor on so it was all solo! I also think I need to repaint the buttons since I rushed that job with some cheap paints when I was finishing the armor up. Also the blaster is just a painted Hasbro just to have something for now. Boots are from TKboots. Let me know what other photos I should post for more detail on the suit and such!
