  1. Well, it's been a while, real life getting in the way again; and a flea infestation. Finally finished trimming everything and cutting cover strips. Haven't really run into any issues so far; but here's a few pics. As always, comments and criticism requested; and if you'd like more detailed shots of anything, just ask.

  3. Hi everyone, I'm Riv (James) and welcome to my build thread. Thanks for joining me, and feel free to chime in with any observations, criticism or feedback you have; good or bad. It's all welcome [emoji111]️ I'm building to Centurion level, and looking forward to the process. Not really anticipating too many problems; as I've been a model maker for over thirty years and work as a stage lighting technician and rigger, as well as film and TV supporting artist, so my background skill set should be ideal for this project. So, yesterday was BBB day; and what an awesome day it was. After plenty of initial research I chose an RWA Creations ANH TK Stunt, in 2mm acrylic capped ABS, armour and helmet, mainly due to my lanky frame. Ross is a fantastically helpful guy, and his YouTube vids are an invaluable resource. Boots, gloves and E11 are all from Ryan at Imperial Warfighters, another super helpful dude. So, onward. Once my inner fanboy had calmed down enough, I broke out the tools and got to work. 2mm capped ABS is tough ole stuff; luckily Ross had done some basic pre-trimming! It's basically like chopping up a plastic bathtub with a pair of scissors. So I got out the dremel and the tin snips [emoji119] And that's as far as I got last night, please excuse the improvised workshop [emoji6] and I'm about to crack on. Stay tuned for regular-ish updates [emoji12]
