This looks great! I am currently waiting on my Anovos kit to come in, it will be my first build, I am building it to be A New Hope - Stunt as well.

I have purchased the Anovos kit! I believe it should arrive sometime in the fall... now to wait. I will read through some Anovos kit builds and also pay attention to the modifications that need to be made in order to meet the 501st requirements. In the meantime I will be getting my supplies together, and getting into contact with my local 501st members and garrison to find out when the next armor party is.

Thank you! I will purchase the no soft goods and get those from somewhere else.

After some more research, I have decided to go with the Anovos kit. I looked at their 2017 TK kit and really liked it, however, there is something I cannot figure out. There are 3 options, a no soft, medium soft, and large soft. The medium and large soft cost $200 more than the no soft. What exactly is this "soft"? If it is sizes, I would imagine going with no soft because I am 5'5 and 120 lbs (it's amazing what cross country will do for ya). But, if it has to do with comfort or padding, I am willing to pay the extra $200 if necessary.

Thanks! I will go with "Stunt" considering they are more common, and the differences seem to be small (at least to a new guy!)

It seems that I have found another question. I decided that I want to my armor to be in the A New Hope category, but there are two different types of armor, Stunt and Hero. Do I choose based of which one I think looks better, is it dependent on my size? Some clarification would be super helpful. Thank You!

Hello all, I am 17 years old currently, and looking to join the 501st in less than a year. I am going to do my first build (A New Hope TK). I have not decided which Armour kit I will go with, I am deciding between ATA and Anovos. I figured that by the time I finally get my kit from the waiting list and build it, I will be well into my 18th year. If anyone has any suggestions on the kit brands it would be much appreciated to let me know your thoughts! I have pages of notes that I have taken so far. I cannot wait to post my first build!
