Welcome aboard Thomas!

Looks awesome

The kit fits you well, if you need more room around your inner leg just add some foam to the outer inside of the thigh, it might help your thigh pieces rubbing when you walk because they look like they might rub. Great job, basic should be an easy pass.

Welcome trooper!

Welcome back, it’s definitely been a hard time for everyone and let’s hope we all get back to usual business soon. R1TK sounds like an awesome place to restart, make sure that you reach out if you need advice we are all here, brothers and sisters if the empire.

Welcome, FO kits are not that bad you just have to take your time and have patience however be prepared for maintenance after most troops.

Nothing wrong with the B grade kit congrats on the purchase, follow the CRL and ask plenty of questions and take lots of photos. It is also a good idea to look up other KB kit builds it might give you some ideas and tips along the way.

Welcome aboard, nice looking kit, take your time and if you are going to paint it yourself I used acrylic auto paint in cans after reading Glens comments on his build thread, you just have to use a primmer before painting (I used an auto primer/ filler). The acrylic paint was very forgiving and easy to use especially for touch ups. Only thing I would suggest is to make sure that you follow the CRL and build your kit to that, it will make approval easier and take lots of photos along the way.

Sometimes it helps to step cut the top of the ear as the face-cap/back overlap hinders the ear placement. If you do get new ears leave more meat on the front and take little off the back then little off the front that way you don’t take too much off. I didn’t drill or mount my ears until I got them in the right spot but it took 2 sets to get it right. If you were in Sydney or close to Sydney we could have had this settled ages ago, don’t give up you are almost there.

Good looking kit, now go and serve the empire!

Welcome Fred, keep an eye out on the sales threads and the 501st sale threads too, you might find an ATA helmet there.
