I did it! I ordered my first TK kit. So this is my build thread!
I have taken on another build at the same time, so I'll keep y'all briefly updated on that progress too. That's my real life TK build-- currently going well, 11weeks in--
I went with AP, due to my short stature. And Mark of AP was wonderful about reassuring me that the armor was going to fit my chubbiness. Of course I won't be able to do some of the major fitting until after October. But, I think there will be lots of other projects I can work on.
So I've made my list--
Armor -- AP
Helmet-- AP
Undersuit-- will go to Academy Sports
Canvas Belt-- AP
Holster-- AP (anyone know if this has to be modified for Centurion?)
E-11 Blaster-- thinking TrooperBay. Currently researching what mods required for Centurion, if any.
Boots-- wanted Imperial Boots but site is down for April, so may go with TK Boots
Gloves-- will order NoMex for trooping, have some rubber coming from AP but afraid I'll have to shop local for something to fit my tiny hands
Latex Handguards-- AP
Neck Seal-- thinking Darmen
Supplies/Tools-- using a compilation of Justjoseph63 and NebSgrid's supply lists.
Thinking the whole family is going to make a supply shopping trip today. Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Sunday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some rivets, maybe get a Dremel, stuff like that. Maybe Joanne's, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time. ("Old School" Will Ferrell reference...)
Current state of "Overwhelmed"-- 8/10
Current state of Nausea -- 7/10
Current state of Excitement -- 10/10
Can't wait for BBB Day!!
