  1. Thanks Gents Helmet - 09/27/2017 Wet sanded the helmet using 400w paper removing almost all of the initial coat of filler primer. Then gave it a thorough wash and let it dry Once dry, i gave the helmet a coat of Etching Primer. The Etching Primer will protect the fiberglass and promote maximum adhesion to the bare FGlass surface. This evening ill Wetsand the Etching Primer with 800w then will apply 2x coat with standard primer Yoke - 09/27/2017 Ive noticed a small crack in the FGlass and ammended it with CA glue. In speaking with a few gents, they all recommended reinforcing the yoke. I used a piece of 2"x6" 80 thousands ABS and drilled / placed the snaps 4.5" apart on center for the Bells. Glued these in place with E6000 and clamped to dry Bells/Ab/Cod - 09/27/2017 Here i made snapplates using reinforced 1x1.5" webbing and seared the edges. Added Tandy Line 24 snaps and glued onto the armor with e6000. Allowing to dry. Additionally, started work on the chest plate. On the 26th, i sanded the chest plate with 150g and painted the chest plate with Etching primer. Here i wet sanded it with 400w and allowed to dry.

  3. Amazing Build Darren!! thanks so much for Sharing all the details.
  4. looks nice. i like that you can break it down like that.
  5. Darren, you should get Jims TLJ just because ;0
  6. For the Teeth color, what you guys think its color is? think its Satin Black like the Mesh behind it or slightly a Graphite Grey or Black color? Just staging to get the paint and prepare.
  7. Love the new look with the frown and teeth throwback to the originals. I'm so sold! Want. Haha!!!
  8. Will there be work started on a CRL for both the new Executioner and the TLJ TK? Thx

  10. Double Damn!! Dont wait too long gents as whos to say youll get the TFA in winter, unfort might not see it until Spring.
  11. Jonathan, try Jim Tripon (Jimmiroquai) for the FOTK, you can get either Ep7 or 8 and he only required 40% down. Current turnaround is more favorable with a 1-2 week prod lead time. Only problem is that youll have to commit extra funds while you cancel Anovos and wait for their refund. Welcome to the SUCK!
  12. Heard the same thing gents and i cancelled my order with Anovos. Going with Jim Tripons Ep8 kit instead. Hoping to make Premier myself. Good luck all
  13. Extremely helpful Teresa and thanks for sharing. Apologizes for the questions as this will be my first TFA build. Much different enough from that of the OT Troopers were we just have the undersuit. I also never thought about how would we wash it. Plus im sure the CRL wouldnt nessasarly approve a single peice with gastkets sewn in. especially for level 2 / 3 approval thanks so much for your help Andy
  14. I didnt think they would had offered Ep8 variation either as would had needed to inform all of their customers with orders asking which they prefer. I would had taken Ep8 if that were the case. i personally like the looks of the Return of the Teeth ;0
  15. Well now im worried again as it was just with their Cust support. yikes!! Will advise the moment i see an email from them otherwise as im sure all will as well.
  16. So heres a Crazy question on this. For the FOTK you have to get an under suit ~$65 US then also get the gaskets separately ~ $300 from Teresa which go over the under suit. now your around $365. Does anyone offer an Undersuit with Gaskets already Switched in? Reason why i ask is that if you look at the KillerSuits from ImperialBoots.com, they have the gaskets stitched in and appear correct for what would be visible while wearing a TFA TK and around ~$200 US. So,,,,, couldnt we save the effort and money and go with one of these as an option?> Im sure this was discussed before so apologies if ive missed the conversations. Andy
  17. Possible good news for us gents is that i spoke with Anovos yesterday and the FOTK Standard kits, Neck seals, Pauldrons are all still on target. We might actually see them. Well Heres Hoping
  18. "Neither of which mattered because all the troopers were under orders to shoot to miss and herd them back the falcon to escape so the tracking beacon would work. " LMAO! Oh what the heck! the D Ring is directly in the rear?> So much for the rifle sling option. Figured for trooping would be nice to sling the rifle and have the Sc-44C holster on the leg. BTW, you guys have been a Tremendous help!!! thanks So much!! Andy
  19. Thats the scene that im thinking of. just impossible to see how the sling is attached to the gun. anyone happen to have a close up of it connected to the blaster? thanks
  20. Hi, im working on an F-11D for my FirstOrder Squad Leader CRL. Have any of you added a Tactical Sling to the Rifle Version (With ButtStock)?> I was looking at the single point and or double point sling but thought id ask ahead and if i added one, would if be CRL approved. Thanks Andy
  21. Apologies for the URL seams Flaky as gets a page cannot be displayed. noticed though if you copy it and paste into IE its ok. Might just be a caching issue on my end
