[ATA ANH Stunt build]

Hey all! So, I won't be able to purchase the armor until next year, but I was able to get a bucket kit and get started! I've recently finished a TIE helmet for a build that's nearly done, and that was an absolute nightmare (An unfortunately soft pull and ABS that was far too thick. It was a Tambo Fett kit, who usually does fantastic work.) So I hope this is a little easier as I've at least hand painted a TK bucket before. 

 

I have a huge library of screen references and guides, so I think I'm ready!
Wish me luck!

Thank you all for your welcoming/helpful comments and guidance! I really appreciate it.

Hey everyone!

I'm Brady, 22, and a recent graduate. So now I might be able to build up enough cash for an armor kit!

 

I'm fairly new to armor building (Started with a Mandalorian) and I decided quite a while ago I want to join the 501st with a Sandtrooper, but quickly switched to a Shadow Trooper. 

However, I've been getting a little discouraged. I'm a bigger guy, 6'0, 215lbs, large frame. By no means fat, just a little chub here and there (which I want to get rid of soon.) AM no longer makes black kits, I don't believe ATA will fit me, and my last (And favorite) option is Walt's Trooper Factory. 

Even after doing all of the research, I'm a little scared that I'll look ridiculous in any trooper armor I get. I've seen people around the forums that are larger than me that fit well in armor, but I guess I need some encouragement before I pull the trigger on a kit. Can anyone point me to some photos or builds that were done by guys of a similar height/weight? Especially for Shadow Kits. I haven't found many build threads for guys my size for Shadow kits, even on the Spec Ops forums. 

 

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

[AM2.0 plastic color vs. ATA.]

Hello all! 

I'm about to get started on my TD build, and I'm planning on getting an AM2.0 kit since I'm a larger guy and need the extra space. I already have an ATA bucket, and I was wondering if the plastic color would match (and be 501st approvable) even if I heavily weather it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
