LTM, The forearms spear to be 4 parts. these 3 ABS parts and a resin insert

I read that one! His is Anovos, mine is KB, there are differences, but mine does have 3 parts for the forearms. I believe this is a recent new feature for KB? I'm reading this one. My kit has 3 parts now.

Hmmm trying to get images from imgur to work rather than how I have been doing it.... not working. GOT IT!

I’m not sure how they work yet. Haven’t looked into how to trim and assemble those yet. this is a new design from what I understand.

Got the parts all laid out for cat inspection. (resin bits closeup) Have things mostly identified.

And so the trimming begins... Grabbed a medium small size part to get used to working with the material. Finding the proper edge will take some research for each part. This edge isn’t entirely clear, but I think I got the top close, just need to refine the sides.

Started to list my parts collection in the first post. but I will also list it here. Parts: Armor - KB Props (May the 4th A-) Helmet - Anovos Standard (FA and TLJ) {also got a KB FA helmet, but I may sell it} Gaskets - Geeky Pink’s (Then perhaps rubber ones) Neckseal - Geeky Pinks or Anovos (have both) Belt - Belts of the First Order Belt Pouches - Trooperbay Gloves - Imperial Boots Boots - Imperial Boots Metal Holster - R2Dan (order request posted, no response at the moment) F-11D - Imperial Factory and Anovos F-11D guts - BlastFX SE-44C - Imperial Factory Voice Amp - TRamp

Im planning at the moment to be building the Force Awakens version of things first, but I have both standard line Anovos TFA and TLJ buckets. So perhaps I will find a way to make things work either way. When my Anovos TLJ kit finally arrives down the road post lawsuit crap, I hope, then I can have either and choose the one to keep.

Thank you! yes R2 is a big project, especially because ours will be one of only a few that can transition between standing and driving stances. Otherwise known as the 2-3-2 transition. most people’ builds are stuck in 3, or static in 2

Great, thanks! looking forward to learning and sharing what I come up with. Perhaps even coming up with my own solutions to teach others along the way. I have been building an R2-D2 with my brother for over 4 years now I think. It’s been for sure a challenge and great learning experience! if anyone is interested, we have a build log on Astromech.net here. https://astromech.net/forums/showthread.php?26950-Mowee-s-Build-Log but this one is about my first Armor build! so enough droid photos.

Ok I have been collecting bits for several years, this part from here, that part from there. (Details later) and yesterday, my biggest box finally arrived, my KB A- FOTK kit. The build can finally begin! (I’m sure there will be things I’m missing) Next, find time to sort and label things and continue researching others KB builds to get a better feel for how these kits go together. Parts: Armor - KB Props (May the 4th A-) Helmet - Anovos Standard (FA and TLJ) {also got a KB FA helmet, but I may sell it} Gaskets - Geeky Pink’s (Then perhaps rubber ones) Neckseal - Geeky Pinks or Anovos (have both) Belt - Belts of the First Order Belt Pouches - Trooperbay Gloves - Imperial Boots Boots - Imperial Boots Metal Holster - R2Dan (order request posted, no response at the moment) F-11D - Imperial Factory printed 5th Horseman and Anovos F-11D guts - BlastFX (in the T5H at some point) SE-44C - Imperial Factory printed 5th Horseman Voice Amp - TRamp

Great work! may I ask where you got your belt pouches?

Noticed this link is pointing back to the same page. love this new section! Going to be helpful as I try to build my first armor!
