Thanks for the support everyone. Should be arriving tomorrow. Now, I have ordered the untrimmed kit. Any recommendations on how to begin the trimming process besides "carefully." lol

I am amazed... great work

Hello and welcome one and all to my very 1st build. I have ordered AP Untrimmed armor kit, and have all the juicy upgrades. I will be getting help from my local garrison, the great Garrison Carida! It is Monday, and the Big Brown Box should be arriving Wednesday. I will be sure to post my photos, and maybe have someone document my excitement. Let's get to the checklist: ORDERS RECEIVED - PARTS MADE UNDERSUIT Rivets Neck Seal with Bib Webbing for Strapping Straps Imperial Boots My Trooper Bin Canvas Belt by Trooper Bay Mesh for Bucket Frown S Trim for Bucket Microphone/Audio Set by iComm Helmet Fans Doopy's E-11 Blaster AP Armor Kit I am ahead of the game, and some say, the Blaster is the hardest part of the build, but check out my build thread. (Formally Prescott) http://www,whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35194-doopys-e-22-blaster-kit-build-thread/ Now that I have my build thread, I hope this will encourage me to begin work on my AP armor as soon as it arrives. I have reviewed and will continue to review AP threads for guidance and hope that I get some help from the good folks at FISD. Here are some images of the parts I currently own Wish me all the luck in the world. I am going to need it. Let's hope that I get this done soon so I can get out their and do some trooping before May 1st. I'd love to be part of my Garrison's "Blast-A-Trooper"

So.. that is beauty. well done.

LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!

Unsure if I am in the right area. Apologies if I post in the wrong area. I'm requesting that my username be changed to my original online username from my gaming days: Vexus (if available) Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

Plan on trooping with these? Because I did, but now that mine is complete, the safer alternative is hyperfirm. Looks great. Very safe for kids to handle. The aluminum and resin are harder for kids to hold and a lot easier to break. I plan on making a case for mine and display it. Maybe pass it on But now I am just rambling. Either way, this is shaping up to be a nice build.

This is looking mighty nice

Had to grind it down. But it's very close.

Congratulations! I am awaiting my big brown box day myself. But what a story. FOLLOWING.

Repairs made. I need some C&C on my paint job. Maybe it's the light...but it seems off to me. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

So, I thought it would be fun to share a story. I'm currently at work, and it is a little slow, so we have some down time. We are watching episode 3, and wrapping up our little Star Wars marathon at work. My co-worker never saw Star Wars, of course to my surprise and others we ask why, and she never gave a real good answer. So I brought in my Blu-Ray collection and started from Episode 4. The proper way to watch (in my opinion). Anyway, I find it funny on some of the statements and questions she asks. Its almost cute. One of the surprising statements she made was when she first saw the Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor. She said, and I quote... " Oh WOW! Those look like the teddy bears from Hell!!!" Now, maybe I am being sexist, but most females I know, think the Ewoks are cute adorable walking teddy bears. Has anyone here ever encountered a similar situation? Some of us have probably shared our passion to others who have yet to see any of the movies. So I am curious to know what type of reactions some of you may have gotten from Star Wars virgins.

YES! Scratch that off my list. Thanks Mark. Can't wait for your partner to send me the tracking# from the U.S.A ! <3

Awaiting big brown box day. I got the untrimmed kit, do these mic tips come with the kit?

Repairs made. Will be repainting and shaping. But... This seems to be a good fix for now. Used a regular screw bolt. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

well done

As Promised. Here are the photos of the damage. I still think a bolt is my best option.

Yeah, I will be sure to post photos. But I am thinking to replace it with a bolt and grind it down.

So today, I was having fun looking at my near complete e-11 and slid my bolt back with real spring and heard a *SNAP* In my hand I held a piece of the lever attached to the bolt snapped in half. Simple e600 or epoxy to repair? But.. since I like sliding it and having fun with my creation, is there a way to replace this resin lever with a more sturdy version? Aluminum? or grind down a bolt screw to shape? suggestions please and thank you.

Neat! This will be fun to watch unfold

Rat, I used a silver/metallic as Primer for most parts of the gun. The scope is a Bronze Primer. Thanks Dark CMF, me and the old man had a lot of fun. Should be finishing this up this weekend. Then, maybe make a wood stand to keep me busy till my tk kit arrives

that should work

I will be sure to post HIGH QUALITY photos when this is at 100% completion. But, I don't see why a quick shot of matte won't work. Chalk? That doesn't seem as permanent... hmm interesting thought though.

Here we go. Painting. Have Some minor detailing to do... Like the white crayon. But it's coming together nicely. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk
