Congratulations!!!

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but for us folks with arthritis that have issues working with hands due to pain... I've found the Gold Star snap press to be extremely handy and cheap enough that it's affordable.

The Die Set for Ring Snaps 24 Ligne/15mm (5/8") will fit the Tandy Line 24 snaps pretty much perfectly too.
I think I've put together about 10 kits worth of snaps on it so far. Just don't leave it out in your car overnight or anything... if it gets cold and heated up, the "precision casted" metal will precision break

Welcome!

Can confirm, anovos is an off white creamy color in natural lighting.
You could always leave another makers shins in the car until they yellow (only joking).

Yahoo mail also likes to be picky with how they accept e-mails from time to time. A gmail to sign up for items you're expecting a response with is usually a safe bet

Hey Chad,
Two and a half years ago I was right where you were, nervous as heck to get something to build myself. If someone as clueless about building and using tools as I was could manage to get through it, I guarantee you can too! It's a bit intimidating but this is the greatest community in the world in terms of help!
If you're still absolutely 1000% set on buying ready to wear/pre-built, there's a couple of folks that do build commissions. I know RS does them I think WTF has a fella too. Check out AP, I remember him having a ready to wear option. There's folks on the forum too that will build any set, you can ask around the For Sale area.

If you have a little bit of electrical knowits, you can easily roll your own for fairly cheap
I've use the @ukswrath kit in a bucket as well, can't go wrong!

Ahhhh maybe not
Those onset pyrotechnics terrify me. Especially this poor dude at 8m35s that has to go flying.
Wouldn't want to take that bump in costume.

That's a scary good looking TK! Nice work!

An orbital buffer + Novos makes for one heck of a shiny trooper!

They look much nicer after cutting them flush

Great job so far!

I've had some success with 5 minute epoxy too, when E6000 is unavailable. I would recommend sticking to the rubber glue though for your first build.

I'm 5'8" - 5'9" in costume, and so is my husband. Looks and fits fine. Don't worry

I always enjoyed the stormtrooper from ESB when Vader and Lando are talking who has his arm basically falling off.

Make sure you sand it down very smooth after. 1000 grit and elbow grease

The bicep is gonna "push it" out a little, and it should sit against the chestplate. I think where it's at now will probably be fine once you have the bicep under it
