  1. And for the love of Vader cut away from you, not towards you.
  2. You won't catch me dead in fiberglass anything, but that's just me.
  3. I thought I'd make a placeholder here to remind myself to keep in touch. My BBB is expected tomorrow but due to the impulse nature of the purchase I am completely unprepared to begin. I'm going to roll around in ABS this weekend and start ordering tools and bits, and hopefully my feline overlord won't object. (She may look like a stormtrooper but her soul is pure Sith.)
  4. Looking forward to following both you and Greg on your journeys. My AP is supposed to arrive Thursday but I'm way behind the curve in prep. Danged impulse buys!
  5. This reminds me of my own internal conversations watching ANH recently (it only had a two-word title when I saw it the first times, btw); right at the beginning this trooper goes by with no TD and I’m like, “why do I have to get all nit-picky about screw heads?” But as I watched the film, and read the various threads here, I realized it was about an ideal. All the 501st are well-done, some are just highly detailed. I definitely want mine to turn out well-done. At the least.
  6. Nice! I’ll be following closely and taking notes for my own AP build.
  7. Thanks for the wishes. I’m grateful for time off that I’m spending with family.
  8. Hey Dan, A great primer coat for MDF is white glue thinned to a (foam) brushable consistency. Don't get it too thin as water will make MDF swell. A couple coats with 220 grit sanding in between and you should have a solid surface to paint.
  9. Did the BBB get put in a closet and forgotten?
