  2. So fineally BBB arrived on Tuesday after a 4 month wait was worth it though Walt’s kits look great , opened the box and I felt anxiety kick in when I saw all those white plastic pieces in the box. I decided I would start with the helmet so through the week I have painted the inside of the helmet and last night worked on the eyes and the teeth on the frown .in the 4 month wait I had ordered a e-11 and am just do the finishing touches on putting together after a lot of sanding and glueing looks pretty good can’t wait to do some weathering on it . If you are in Australia as I am and you are looking for a e-11 and worried about trying to get them through customs , I got mine from TDK Props .Tom does exceptional work I will add some photos to this thread of the e-11 and my kit progress

  3. Hi 

    I’m down in Australia and was just wondering if there is a big difference between the aerosol zip kicker and the pump bottle I see on most of the tutorials that everyone uses the aerosol is there a main reason for this my local hobby store only has the pump bottle and not sure to purchase aerosol one online instead, cheers

    Walt make a GREAT kit, and is a tried and true seller here.  For basic ANH- Stunt approval, you will need boots, and undersuit (I suggest getting a 2 piece), holster, canvas belt and neck seal.  If you will (hopefully) be aiming for Expert Infantry you will need an E-11 blaster, as well as the correct hardware (split rivets, TD screws, etc.  For Centurion level you will also need flexible hand guards.

     

    I believe Walt's kits come with all the necessary items to build the helmet, but not sure about the others.  Since it will take a while (usually around 3-6 weeks or so) to build your armor, you will have plenty of time to order any items needed.  Most things can be purchased from various members here on the FISD, but below are some links that may help:

     

    Build supply list:   https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31404-supply-list-for-your-tk-build/

     

     

    Here are some vendors/places I can recommend to purchase things:

     

    Boots:  https://www.imperialboots.com/#  These are what I troop in.  I suggest ordering a size larger than what you normally wear.

    Neck seal:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21385-darmans-neck-seals/  (HIGHLY recommend seller)

    Canvas belt:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19803-fs-white-canvas-belts/  Another A-one seller.  Custom made to order in your size.

    Thigh garter system:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29991-thigh-garter-system/  Not a requirement, per se, but they are awesome!

    E-11:  https://www.doopydoos.com/stormtrooper-e-11-complete-anh-e-11-blaster-kit-offer-2685-p.asp  These are great if you want to build your own.  They are not always in stock and can take up to 5 weeks for delivery, but you can make them super screen accurate with one of Tino's incredible kits:

    https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28444-fs-completion-sets-for-e-11-resin-kits-with-worldwide-tracked-shipping-and-paypal/

     

    For the undersuit, you can try ebay or amazon.  Just search "Men's black compression pants/shirt".  Usually around 10-15 bucks per piece, but make sure there is no lettering, logos or stripes visible on the shirt or below the waistband on the pants, like these:

     

    Pants: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Compression-Tights-Athletic-Base-Layer-Black-Sports-Gym-Workout-Long-Pants/332659983867?hash=item4d741485fb:g:YNsAAOSwYeNbA-OG:rk:9:pf:0&var=541785732007

     

    Shirt:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Sports-Gym-Compression-Under-Base-Layer-Tops-Long-Sleeve-Quick-Dry-T-Shirt/253771090044?hash=item3b15ef887c:g:QJwAAOSwByFbVZvn:rk:7:pf:0&var=553051004305

     

    If you are aiming for the higher levels, I sell some things as well if needed.  Just look under my avatar below for the links.  If we can be of any help with anything or you have any questions, always feel free to ask... we are here to help!

     

     

     

    Hi thanks for all the helpful information I’m still trying to work out what stormtrooper I’m going to do ANH stunt or Hero or maybe a ESB I wasn’t really planning on doing a stormtrooper at all but I won the kit in a raffle so I thought what the hell I’ll go with it while I’m waiting on my patrol trooper kit to arrive those links are great thanks again
