Laid out all of the parts from Jim today - turns out I'm missing the spats, but he's sending them right away! I'll take some close up photos this afternoon. --------------

Hello FISD! I ordered Jimmi’s V5 armor last November (after well over a year of waiting on Anovos) and am finally getting around to acquiring all of the needed supplies. It’ll be the first FOTK in Alaska, so I hope to continue the influence of the Empire in the great white north! I’ve already put together a Centurion-level Anovos ANH TK and a WTF Snowtrooper, so I’m looking forward to this build, having had a bit of experience and practice.... not to mention practice mistakes and then having to fix them... more than once! I’ve not documented either of the builds before, so I thought I’d keep track of this one a bit more thoroughly. I’ve always had GREAT support from those who have built before me, so I hope to continue that trend and share my experience with others. I’ve got the armor, and I’ll post the unboxing photos in the coming days, as well as listing where my other supplies came from. Thanks all for your support, guidance, and inspiration bringing this world to life! For the Empire! TK38991 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks all! I'll make the modifications.<br><br> For the Empire!

Thanks everyone - solid feedback. I'll make the alterations! For the empire! Ryan

Thanks gentlemen!

Please see my adjustments - thanks!

Excellent thanks - any idea how to make either cast more authentic without taking apart what is already there? I agree with Brian - both have some great qualities and I'd hate to ruin it somehow.

I've updated my info in the first post. See further updates below... Holster: TD painted screws: Further trimmed forearm return edge: Belt alignment, thigh trimming, and added sniper knee padding: Action shot: T THANKS ALL!

Thanks all - I'll make the adjustments today. Cheers!

I have two E-11's. One is a Hyperfirm, the other I picked up from an Etsy shop (resin cast with an aluminum rail). The Hyperfirm is the one with the weathering while the Etsy is matte black. I don't need two and would like to keep the more accurate of the two...any thoughts?

Got it - THANKS for the help!

If anyone is, or knows of someone, selling their ANOVOS ab button plate, I'd be interested... - THANKS!

Cool project

I did the same thing, but did not realize my error before throwing out the cutouts. The button plate fits very snug against the ab piece, so it may not be so obvious. However, I got a replacement from ATA, but the gloss is slightly different and MUCH thicker than the ANOVOS, but not so noticeable unless you are up close. Still debating how to go about the fix...

Hi all, Looking for a vendor selling ANH Hero Ab Plates (with buttons). Not sure where to look - any feedback is helpful. THANKS!
