I know I just posted about Pauldrons in another thread but I'm trying to come up with some things to add to my TK. I have the standard classic trilogy anovos kit and I am not necessarily looking to get enrolled in the 501st with The proper movie accuracy, it's mostly for conventions. <br><br> If you guys can help me out with some ideas of what I can add to the overall appearance. This could include anything from the show rebels or anywhere you would see them wearing anything more such as battlefront or any other games that's a classic TK would be wearing in addition to just the plain armor. I basically just want to spice up the appearance of my trooper a little bit

Awesome thanks much appreciated. Was hoping to find a picture guided tutorial but it does have a decently descriptive list, hopefully I'll be able to work with that

Anyone have a good guide for making a pauldron? I know I can easily buy one but I wanna take on a project of making it myself

That looks like advocating hehe

Of course without the bucket. I just want to know if there is someway to do it for just one night. I won't get comfortable doing it I just want to know if it's possible

So Halloween is coming up as we all know, I am going to be wearing my TK armor this year. Halloween weekend I have local places I can walk to, however I am in a band and we have a show that Monday, actual Halloween. So there will be commuting and driving, I'm wondering if there's any possible way for me to be able to drive so I don't have to change when I get there? Or a good course of action. I have to wear this because wearing it while playing a show sounds too good and too fun

Cool I'll give it a go. I don't need it pressed down too drastically just enough so it doesn't stick out

Would a hairdryer have enough power? I'm a little intimidated by a heat gun and melting the plastic

I am currently fitting my clamshell and as you can see in the circled areas the buttplate is way too wide. Two options come to mind I can either heat it or use straps to hold those sides more in. Any suggestions and if heating is a good idea would hair dryer work? The belt goes right above it so that does not help it stay down due to my height and proportion

I did forget you made this list before I posted my last request. You suggest to replace some elastic with nylon is a reason for this?

Can anyone point out to me as far as where I use elastic and where I use nylon webbing?

Awesome I appreciate the response helps me a bunch

So I'm doing snap approach and was wondering if anyone can link me to a nice list of all the straps that are needed. I got ANOVOS kit but I'm not entirely sure what included I'll be using and what I need to get and the measurements of them all. Width of black and white elastic and for which parts they go for, nylon straps, etc... I know everything should be here but I can't seem to find everything I'm looking for in one place. Any help would be nice

Oh yeah I already did that sorry I didn't include that in my post. I'm just concerned about the actual snaps right now I think I'm actually going to run out and grab a whole set of new snaps and replace anything that this kit came with. I just want to make sure I get correct ones or the correct size

So I had a mishap when I was installing snaps for the belt on the ab plate. I didn't realize that two of the snaps were different than the other seven that came with this kit. So I put on one of the other ones first and realized it would not snap to the belt and then tried to remove that one to replace with the other one. I used a drill bit because I was pretty sure that's how you removed snaps. And this happened. The heat of the drill melted it like crazy. I'm not too concerned about the damage because I'm making abs paste right now but I was wondering how can I determine exactly what snap these are so I can get the correct ones from the store? Specifically to make sure they will snap correctly with the ones installed on the belt already

Are all of the cover strip ends to be flush with the piece edges for every part? I was asking around and I was told that the red line in this image is the correct way. But I was told for the forearm and I would like to know what the case is for the rest of the armor<br><br><br> Edit: my bad not shims but the cover strips! Couldn't figure out how to edit the topic title

So I'm about to begin the strapping part of my build. I was wondering what the different options are and what are the pros and cons of all of them. Not entirely sure what they suggest in this kit but I want to know my options and what I'm best off doing. I do not think I'm going to do the bracket system but I know there are so many options I would like a nice clean list of what people do if that's possible. I appreciate it thanks! As far as snaps and Velcro and certain parts and combining certain methods

Awesome thanks

As I am working on my anovos build, I have got to the sanding and fitting part of everything, I was wondering if someone had a list of a rough size the return edges should be for each part? I am mostly looking at the body parts (chest, ab/cod, butt, kidney, back) Everything fits nicely as of now but I would like too shave them down a bit more, but not if they should be a certain minimum size.

I heard that the ab buttons are to be painted only on the surface and not the sides of the buttons, is this true? I was sort of hoping to paint the sides as well.

Yeah I ordered May 2 and got my notification last night. Looks like I'll have it by Thursday.

Just got my fedex notification!! Says by Thursday! Props to ANOVOS for busting their asses with the shipping

This is why I decided to have it shipped to my parents instead of my apartment because I trust the neighborhood they live in more so than my area

I ordered May 2nd so I'm really hoping with all of these people getting delivery notifications that are different than the email update of the schedule that I will be hearing from them soon. I will be checking my FedEx manager constantly
