It was great to see this kit pass with flying colours. An easy pass for a job extremely well done. This thread will prove of huge value to those who will follow in your footsteps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The white ones, not yet! Who knows if they’ll show up in new footage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m not sure they’re selling yet! A recent auction saw the baton passed in. I had the chance to buy one for £300 but let it go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It may well be concept art but if we got Trevorrow’s DUEL OF THE FATES it would have been a darker First Order. Source: Imgur Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

A good chance for you to match the forearms Chris [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Really up to the GML and how closely they follow the CRL, however, some garrisons (and strict ones at that) have approved TFA TDs on TLJ Troopers as the person submitting was able to prove the existence of the TFA TD in the movie. The cut of the forearm is not specified in the current TLJ CRL and come the revamp post-elections may still not be specific. There is a difference between the forearm shape between TFA and TLJ so definitely worth an ask in advance to save yourself hassle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Anovos HIGHLY accentuated this cut in their TLJ kits. It’s ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That style of cut came about as a result of a mod to John Boyega’s kit that assisted mobility. It’s affectionately known as the ‘Finn mod’. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Looks familiar [emoji1787] It’s as if Ikea design for SW collectors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The greeblies are a nice production accuracy update. I’d already completed my build by the time they came my way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Great progress! Great choice on the holster - a great upgrade. The hand plates are awesome, as are the centre belt boxes. Both guards and centre boxes are a must in my opinion. It’s a shame the RHS ammo boxes are so heavy. You’ll also want yo prep and treat them well as you’ll likely get a few pin holes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

There are a few variants for sale across the Internet. There is also a black version which claims to be a Rebel Baton. At the end of the day it's a $25 rechargeable inspection lamp easily obtained from AliExpress.

Turns out a 3D print won’t be needed. With a little extra research it turns out the stun baton is a found part. Production has a history of sourcing cheap flashlights out of China - the knockoff M300A is a classic example. And to think, a spray painted torch with red painted glass was put up for auction late last year for a tidy sum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just returned from a third viewing and there's lots of fun stuff to be caught when watching the FOTK scenes very closely. There's a scene on Kijimi that is reversed, so the calf greeblies appear on the right leg. There are bendy cod pieces all over the place, a cracking thigh split as Poe et al escape the Star Destroyer, and then there is the case of the shortening TD end cap. As you can seen from the pic below the trooper on screen right has the standard width black end cap (approx. 1in/25mm), whereas trooper left as a much shorter end cap. It's all black so isn't a TFA TD. Given the TD cylinder is an insert it looks like they were prone to getting pushed further in to the holder. I spotted this issue a few times and it can also be seen in the 'Jedi Mind Trick' scene. Can't wait until late Match/early April for the 4K Ultra version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thought I’d share some info regarding a cool weapon that was created for TROS. This 'stun baton' was codenamed the SUGAR CUBE BATON. This deadly looking dumbbell was constructed of cast plastic and resin, with wooden and metal components. When closed it measured 10in L x 2.5in W. When deployed it was 14.25in L. Who knows, perhaps we'll see it in the deleted scenes of extended version if it ever gets released. In the meantime I know there are plans to create a 3D print of the baton.

I would say you’ll need to shim the outer greave to create the required seam. Make sure the large greeblie fits well to determine final fit. The inner seam can overlap as you wish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Overlaps were a feature of the TFA and TLJ kits, but more pronounced on the latter. Biceps, thighs and greaves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Looking good! Will you shim the seam or overlap slightly? Speaking over overlaps, have you got enough on the inside of each greave? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Whilst revisiting the Fortnite ‘Jedi Mind Trick’ clip I noticed these two blasters appear to have the cocking lever on the LHS of the blaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You’re doing a great job with the print [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Making speedy progress mate - great job! I trust the blaster is a quick test build with the smaller detailed pieces and end cap missing? Making sure whoever sent it didn’t forget pieces! Sadly happens all too often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I'd recommend taking a look at Lee's excellent build thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48090-lee_c-anovos-tlj-build/ He is one of a handful of people who have completed the Anovos build....unless you count the guys who did the work for Disney

The shoulder seam is purely an Anovos design feature and has nothing to do with production used FOTKs. Those that have already built these kits have filled the seam prior to painting. All the Anovos kits at SWGE were built with the seam visible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
