  5. Chefjakes ATA ANH stunt build

    Thanks coastertk.

    But got some more work in tonight got my biceps fully trimmed and glued the first finishing strip on each side. Need to wait and see for the back on each thou because I'm probably going to have to go biggest the 5/8" for it to fit also got my shoulders rough trimmed and started rough trimming the lower legs. Off all day Friday and it's payday so hoping to get a lot done then

    Also ordered some rare earth magnets from Amazon today. Do have a quick question as I move to the biceps. Which is which? One is more squared and one is rounded. Trooperbay didn't say in the video and still currently looking on here. Just asking in case someone responds before I find the answer. 96b6ce471696ed454e92e7c79931c8f6.jpg

  8. Fireberglass Armor?

    What I meant is that this is an expensive hobby, and most here either have this as a priority, or earn enough to have all they need in addition to this.

     

    We get a lot of students coming here who think this is cheap and get shocked when they discover that it isn't. I was also a student when I got started, but I had such cheap housing back then that I could afford this on my student loans, and I made it a priority.

    I'm a student right now in my mid 20s and all I did was save a little each month during my 10 month waiting period for my ATA armor. That way I wasn't spending a lot of money all at once. Was disappointed I had to wait that long at first but ending up working well with that method. $60-$70 a month and by the time my kit was ready to ship I had the funds saved up for it.

    Hello from Tampa Florida!

    Hi, want to introduce my self. My name is Jake, in 28, and am about to start my first build. I when with ATA armor that after the longest 11 months of my life.. Finally arrived. I've been watching all of trooperbays step by step videos on YouTube and have also printed up all the guidelines for the different ranks from 501st site. I have a pretty good understanding of what I'm doing thanks to these, even know I'm sure I will have questions along the way. My first big question is that is there anything I should know about with with ATA armor that I need to do to make it able to pass for centurion. I want to get as close as possible to avoid major modifications in to future when I do decide to apply for higher rankings. Thanks in advance and looking forward to then amazing journey.
