  1. Blackened the inside of my bucket. Hopefully won't need this for very long. Mimic is being kind to throw in a tlj bucket for the early adopters as a thank you. Great guy first pieces from what I heard will be shipping soon Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  2. Belt and pouches in also got my undersuit Guess I need to find some good foam or something for structure on the pouches Post flattened them Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  3. Good to see this moving, looks like I'll have to build for TFA and update TLJ later. Learned Mimic is throwing in a TLJ bucket and offering updated parts once we figure out for sure what needs to be updated. I'm still stuck that the overlaps are for stunt troopers like in OT TKs. I can't see myself putting together my kit that way on purpose, espically if both ways can be seen. On the spats I wish we had a left foot to compare with a left foot. The picture a few posts up certainly looks different but it's clearly the left vs right side, which may be throwing off things a bit. I need to do some more digging on ref pics, hopefully trailer coming out soon will give us even more.
  4. Got my belt kit in, haven't messed with it yet though. Gonna wait till I start getting rest of my parts together (soft pouches and hard armor). Read over instructions but going to have to dig a bit deeper to figure out spacing and how everything actually attaches Just a matter of waiting for stuff to come in. I guess I could work on my bucket. Question: What is the benefit of spraying painting the interior of the bucket black? Wasn't sure how much I was gonna mod my bucket because of possible upgrade to a TLJ bucket
  5. What's the benefits of making the interior black? Just curious I've done it just because people said to but haven't done it on my new Anovos bucket yet
  6. I thought this looked funky! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was kinda waiting till some more builders got their eyes on it. Was hoping SGB would tackle this but I haven't seen a TK specifically from him. On the whole overlap discussion, I certainly see it in the pictures, but my gut tells me it was stunt guys/gals. There is a picture posted a few clicks up of them just standing near phasma and one by hux that it looks seamless like on the TFA troopers. But even my eyes are playing tricks on me because I swear I saw some funky biceps in TFA watching the other day. Should have screenshooted.
  7. I know this guy! Hey man hit up the resource page a few threads up as well. I got pretty much everything listed from that list. And as always feel free to ask and use me as much as possible. I'll go over backwards to help local if it means more FOTKs Geekypink did my gaskets and neckseal, if you want I can bring them to the troop tonight so you can see if you like them or not. Imperial boots for my gloves and boots Pouches a new guy listed for $50 on this forum from Hong Kong they looked fine, trooperbay does them also but doesn't list on the website. He was out of stock when I pm'd him and someone suggested the dude from Hong Kong so went with him Belt kit from JAFO he was awesome to work with, kit is in the mail so waiting on that A guy that makes death troopers in Russia is working on the laser axe with moveable parts I'm watching that close We are working on discussing the EP8 CRL right now a few other threads up or down pending on your point of view. I think the TD is a bit longer and a few other minor things. No one I know of has made those changes to armor yet, expect maybe Jim. Anything you need to see from my build fyi let me know
  8. Might want to post this in project runs section as well if you haven't already Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  9. E6k works well on fiberglass kits. My shore is Jim's fiberglass kit. Just make sure you have clamps and give it time to set (like 24 hrs or more) E6k you can still remove parts if you need to as opposed to using something like Zap a gap
  10. Mimic has a few pieces done. Yay getting excited Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  11. I thought you had to order bucket seperate? Wasn't expecting it to come with this order. I owe him more if that's the case Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  12. MIMIC's kit won't be coming with a bucket, he will be offering it much later down the road. I know I sent him all FOTK ref pics I took from Power of costume. Shouldn't be hard to mod, I think the big pieces are generally the same. The Cod piece I've heard debated as different, but with that super flexible rubber they use on the movie suits who actually knows. Might help to do side by side pictures, I'll have to photoshop some stuff when I'm on my home computer
  13. Isn't it just the bucket that's changed? The sloppy overlaps I've seen on Topps card etc just look like stunt version imo
  14. I had same issue with it, not designed great not a favorite. they put good paint in there too
  15. Minor updates, ordered my soft pouches and my undersuit today. Had a few extra bucks in the budget to spend. Hopefully that will free money next month to invest in a sewing machine. Since I will need that for all the 1inch buckles and straps I'm planning on using. Is anyone else familiar with Fiberglass kits and using a mix of Velcro and standard buckles without using snaps? I've seen it down locally but haven't looked at it in detail. Wasn't sure if there was a good visual guide on that. I'd assume it's pretty much like snapping together a shore with snaps but using buckles instead. Would be magical if I could just hook myself all together. I hate asking for help to kit up other than to straighten everything out. Need to start doing more yoga or something
  16. no idea, I used that type of can before and just used it as is. But I was only doing a small pilot helment
  17. https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-243546-Standard-Spray-Grip/dp/B001KZC7K0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505821355&sr=8-1&keywords=spray+paint+gun+attachment Something like this might help with spray paint. I got something similar for when I was spraying my shore. Saves your finger and easier to work with imo
  18. Gonna keep my mouth shut. I have strong political comments that would only get this off topic Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  19. Everything harness elbow harness knee. They are cloth and I got the one with the shine Forgot what her options are. Very easy to work with and they feel good so far Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  20. Update: 10-26-17 I have one in my local garrision but wanted to jump on the main boards as well. Right now I'm just getting pieces in slowly but surely. Bucket: Anovos Standard- Will update to a TLJ in future once MIMIC ships Bucket Mods: Just painted the inside black, not gonna do much to Anovos bucket Armor: MIMIC- Status: Moulds done, waiting on casting and shipping. Est: End of September?- Update plans to ship upper body items (yoke chest bells etc soon, rest 2nd shipment) Gloves: IB- received Boots: IB- received Gaskets: Geeky Pink- Received Belt- Kit Ordered- Received! Thanks JAFO! Soft pouches- Received- from Jim Lau Blaster- Not ordered, may just Rubie it up or get a nerf one for fun (Not screen accurate but hard to justify money on blaster when I can't even troop with it) Voice Box- Received- TRamp Fans- Not ordered- May go with a supplier I used in past for Shore Undersuit- Received- Went with same one everyone else seems to be using was fair deal once I started looking at underarmor. What I have now works for my shore but after looking at everything seemed best to get what works. Ordered XL after hearing they run small on most and to order a few sizes up. Other: Ordered 1 inch clip in buckles and some strapping Bunch of misc supplies: got buckles 1 in straps/ elastic etc Bunch of magnets in, and after I just did a project I have a ton of scrap ABS that will help later Probably not going heavy anymore, stick to the ole basic white. Got a sewing machine in to make some straps and other random sewing on this kit Starting to get a general idea of my rigging system, going to draw it up and try to post it for review Wanted to get this up on here to not spam MIMIC's post over on RPF You can find me on YouTube as well under Trooper 85751
  21. Oh and there are some Jim kits on the buy/sell section on here. Takes some work but they are good quality. I have his shoretrooper and put it together as my first kit
  22. MIMIC on RPF has some spots open again. He is casting now and I think he said he is targeting shipping for the first people by end of month. But with molds made it shouldnt be hard to cast on demand
  23. seeing some troopers don't have Black yokes, the target exlcusive didn't have black yokes and saw a few pics. Wondering if it was a minor issue with prop department like the trooper in Rogue one with red bicep on wrong
  24. Last Jedi bucket Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
