Here is my progress! Please note that I was working and I got in the 'zone' and forgot to take photos... The Scope and Sight Mag Folding Stock - needs sanding. And this is where I did not take photos... Here's what it looks like so far. That's all for now!

Here are some. -----------

Also, is anyone going to try to build a jump pack? ---------

Whoops, didn't even think about that! Sorry about that. Maybe this would help? http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=10760.0

Nice!! I wish my hasbro turned out that well!

Nice looking scope! I found this tutorial very helpful about posting photos. <br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/48-posting-images-in-threads-2015/'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/48-posting-images-in-threads-2015/</a><br><br> Good luck to you!

I love what you said Vern. I totally agree. I mean there are 111,000+ replys on the Anovos preorder thread, and the armor isn't even out yet. I bet when we get the armor it should (knock on wood) quite down.

Yeah, I'm glad you recommended that I thin them out.

All righty! I was able to work a bit tonight. Here's my progress. Also changed the photos to be smaller, better for viewing. I finally found a way to look at references by putting my iPad in a plastic bag. Happy day, no nasty resin! I brought the thickness of the flash guards down and the sanded down the gluing side. Next I replaced the fake screw with real ones. Then I worked on the trigger. I used a spring from a pen that was graciously donated by college recruiters. Chris, your suggestion worked wonderfully! I was able to get the proper size for the hole. Getting the selector and the d-ring thingy fixed for the proper d-ring. For the selector I sanded a bit to much so in the pictures below I used foam to build up the height, later i found a washer of the proper size that I will use instead. Next came the folding stock. Then drilled the holes out and cleared out the resin and fitted the pipe insert. That's as far as I have gotten tonight.

I don't blame you, there is a lot of hullabaloo going on. The funny thing is that we don't even have the kits in our hands yet.

Yikes! We just have questions...

Too bad. It would be better for both parties if it came incomplete. They would just send us the pieces and we put it together. Oh well.

Good idea to start this thread! I have a question, not sure if I missed it anywhere, but we build the kits right? So I assume that the TD comes in pieces and then we put it together the correct way, not the way Anovos shows us. Right?

Sanding stone. I had not thought of that... I'll try that today. Thanks Chris!

Yeah, I'm just going to do my best then use some green stuff to recreate the proper look.

Good idea Tino. I'll definitely do that. I hope I'll be able to work on it tonight.

Lookin' good!

Well it will sure be an adventure for all of us who jumped on the Anovos bandwagon.

First off I would like to thank all those who have shared their builds. They have given me the most wonderful guides to follow. I was really excited to find a brown box at my door. The DoopyDoos resin kit finally came. I have already acquired T-Jay's wonderful finishing kit, so I am ready to start! Here's all the parts (including T-Jay's kit) I would also like to show you the DD D-ring compared to the one in the finishing kit. A world of difference! First things first, a bath for all the parts to clean off release agent and other crap. Next I decided to trim off the excess resin on the small parts using a Dremel. I'd also highly recommend safety glasses and some sort of breathing protection as this resin dust is nasty to your lungs. Next came drilling out the holes on the barrel. Time to replace these"screws". I found that removing these screws was quite difficult for me... Not sure why, but they put up a fight. This is all I was able to do today, but I hope to get more done in the near future. Any tips are really appreciated as this is my first build.

This is from the new Battlefront along with these other new/slightly different troopers. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jump_trooper http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Trooper/Canon http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_shock_trooper/Canon

I'm also a fan of the weathering. Black ash and soot type of look.

I think it looks pretty dang good, but having that hose/tubing connected to the helmet would probably limit head movement. I also really like the shin guards as well.

Dang! This looks sweet! Especially the paint! <br> I will definitely be watching this build.

Nice find!
