Fantastic job Will, welcome to EI brother
Thank you sir.
I refer to your anh build thread All the time when mentoring new members joining my Garrison. Not to mention using your available parts. I have had the FO speaker system in this armors helmet for 3 years and love it.
To have your blessing is an honor. -

Congratulations Will, great looking application and armour. EI 999, that's pretty darn cool
Right ! I’m really digging that.
And Thank you. Very much. -
Thank you. Thank you.
I am sooo happy to have made it. I’ll be dancing on clouds all weekend.
I will take all the recommendations and fixes to task for a centurion submission. Some of them I haven’t noticed so I’m glad they were pointed out. And I’ve had the rubber gaskets but haven’t assembled them. LolThank you for recognizing some of the issues as minor dressing concerns, I had my teenager help me with the photos And she doesn’t always recognize an issue even though she has helped me as a Galactic Accademy member suit up during the three years I’ve trooped in the armor.
Again, thank you for the EI Distinction. I will represent the FISD with it proudly.

Very good idea Paul.
I did my first BSP v1 by glueing snaps to the inside of the helmet. So the strap could be removed also.
But that is great for the anovos so not to have to alter the liner.
Cheers

I would love to start my Shoretrooper 501st cosplay with the bucket, but don't wanna spend 600$ on just one piece.
Are there any kits availible? Which are a lot cheaper?
I don't have any problems spending a lot of time with a kit to save money on it. It should be enaugh detailed to be 501st aproogved when assembled and painted correctly
Hi bud, Check out "shoretrooper Fam" on Facebook . On the pinned post there is a list of vendors that do kits and helmets.
bsp ( backstage props) and sgb ( Sky gun bro) are a couple that have helmets that have good accuracy and should fit in your budget. But there are a couple others also.
Only people wanting the highest accuracy are using the anovos and repainting it.

Anyone with a new code

That is correct. From what I am experiencing , and as you can see stated on the build thread comparisons, the ANOVOS has sharper details and more even thickness of the abs throughout the armor. It also fits together with less mod to the pieces.KB is ABS. But no, I don't believe it matches Anovos plastic. Not exactly, at least.
Also either way you Will have to do sanding prep and paint and bondo with the abs kits also. Much more than on the ANH armor kits.
Supposedly on the ANOVOS kits there will be an upgrade to avoid having to bondo. But that seems hard to achieve as some parts are seamless. So the seams where the pieces go together must be sealed . See the build threads for this also.

Should be: Biceps 2x small,<br>
Spats 2x large.
That is how they are on my ANOVOS FO armor. I also am just finishing a KB kit and they fit on that the same as I posted above.
-
I'm just finishing a KB kit. I had my ANOVOS to go off of for where to trim and how the pieces needed to be shaped and put together.<br>
If you check out the build thread that shows some of the differences you should be okay. <br>
There are some mods to be done when building so that it coms out right.<br>
Other than that it is a very good kit. And he has riot shields also.

Hi. I will try to post a link. If I can't , just search mini pocket telescope on eBay and look for the photos I posted. The were from eBay.Hi Will, same as Kalani's question, do you have the link to the telescope you bought? I'm looking to dress up my Hyperfirm a bit as well. Have you done any mods to the counter yet, like adding a decal for the numbers?

As for the counter . I put the decal on you can get from trooperbay. But I wanted my TK number on it. So I used one of those old plastic label makers and did my TK number w some of the black label material. It doesn't look as good as the trooperbay decal. But it is my number.

FOTK Basic-Level CRL Amendment Proposal to Allow Seams at Shoulder and Sides
in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Posted
I do not think it should be changed for either parts of the crl.
The back / yoke seam is completely different than the shoulder seam that you see in the Disney suits and in the cartoon.
In fact the back/ yoke seam on the Disney suits is closed.
Also the back / yoke seam is not a place of stress. In the 5 years I have owned and trooped in a beta anovos kit and a kb that part of the armor has not been a stress point as you say.
The shoulder area where the Disney parks kit has a seam is a place of stress while getting in and out of the armor. But it is easily reinforced with resin or epoxy, and if done at first build there is never been a problem on the several other kits I’ve built. Also the Disney park kits are of a completely different construct materials, and under that shoulder seam especially as it can be completely flexed backwards for them to gain entry by different people sometimes multiple times daily.
But I will restate the back / yolk seam is not a stress point.
As for the side abdomen having a seam. I think it would be the same as letting there be a visible seam when people add shims to an original trilogy anh etc armor. It visually is different than screen armor. And also this isn’t a place of stress that needs a seam. When building a FO armor it can be easily sealed with abs paste or a bondo. And the construction of a FO armor allows for the back to be opened with either velcro w elastic or a zippered piece for those that need this to get into it.
First order kits to begin with, especially the first anovos and now the new denovo kits, don’t allow for a lot of deviance to the deigns. The way the pieces join have tapered grooved seams, so much of it is a one size fits unless you want to do a lot of mods which will require more abs paste or bondo anyway.
I say leave the crl as is.
