  1. Scimitar's ANH Stunt Build - AP

    in ANH Build Threads

    Posted · Edited by Scimitar

    Welcome to my first armor build!

     

    Like many others I've been waiting for an Anovos pre-order, I ordered their Imperial Stormtrooper and First Order Stormtrooper standard kits. Every time I've attended an event that the GA 501st has been at I get the itch to build my own armor ASAP and I finally got tired of the "we're sorry, delayed again" emails, at least for the OT TK. So I began researching the other kit makers recommended in the Getting Started section, about the time I did that Mark had a Black Friday sale on his kit so I pulled the trigger. There are plenty of AP build threads on here so I've been pouring over them while I waited for my kit to arrive and I'll continue to use them as reference. I also intend to build this kit with Centurion approval as the ultimate goal.

     

    Anyway, today was BBB day! You may notice that there appears to be two of everything. A buddy and I will be building these kits simultaneously, although he's a few states away, so I'll be reboxing and shipping once our other supplies arrive. It was actually a less expensive option to go this route overall.

    Laid everything out to ensure we got what we needed:

    So now the real fun begins. I'll be working on this slowly for sure, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves to occupy my time when I'm not at work (not a complaint!) and who also doesn't like going to bed early. lol I enjoy just about any DIY project so I'm really looking forward to this build.

    Thanks for the lead on the Scorpion helmet liner! I've wanted to add something like that to my Anovos lid for a while and that works perfectly. I used Scorpion's website and determined a large would fit my noggin better and fortunately those are still readily available. It also fits in the helmet just fine. Thanks again!

     

    And great work so far!!

    Thanks! When the build gets into full swing I'm definitely planning on a build thread with all of the pictures and info I can share.

     

    I do have a question that a site search hasn't revealed (and I swear I read the new member information, but I may have missed it), is there a place where I can see what is required to make posts in certain sections? For instance I'd love to leave feedback for TK4205 in his Pauldron thread, but it shows I'm locked from posting in that thread. Classifieds are also locked out. I know many sites have sections locked out based on post count so I figure it's something along those lines.

    Hello all, long time lurker here. I was originally planning on an Anovos Shadowtrooper build, got impatient and cancelled that preorder, and have since been gathering parts for a FO Trooper build. 501st approval and trooping is of course the ultimate goal. Anyway, back to lurking! Thanks for having me!

  7. Anovos TK armor preorder

    Pretty decent sale on shadow trooper helmets and full ensembles for 24 hours and counting: "This offer ends on Friday, November 27th at 11:59pm Central Time *OR when 50 units are sold on Friday, so act now!*" I was able to use my 10% code I got from the key fob, and they gave me another code lol. PM me if you want it, it's good for 2 weeks and I can't afford to buy anything else from them! Happy thanksgiving!

     

    Thanks for the help by allowing me to use your code! For anyone else who may need a code, I'd be happy to pass along the code I just received (exp. Dec 11). Just PM me!

    *edit* Code given to ScaryGuy.
