  1. I think you're off to a good start. Here are a couple of minor things I spotted: Alignment on the side looks off - The rivets should line up horizontally and the tops of each section should be aligned as well. Looks like you're high on the left and low on the right (back plate that is). It's also overlapped on the right side. There's also something funky going on with your right shoulder strap. Tube stripes look a tad low as well. I'd also look for helmet shots straight on from all 4 sides. Good luck!
  2. I think the above comments have it all, at least to my quick review. You'll be there in no time!
  3. Awesome! Have fun, post lots of pics and ask lots of questions.
  4. I would want a final assembly fitting before any trimming to size, but it looks like you're on the right track.
  5. That amount of reading will take care of my #2s for a week or so Looks impressive!
  6. I used a backer and some ABS paste to fill it in. I stuck the end of a scrap bit of ABS into some Acetone until it became like a runny crayon, then used it to fill in.
  7. Mark from AP is active on here, he may also be able to provide some insight. Here are some images of mine: The ones with the pencil lines show "ideal" lineup. Mine came pre-drilled and I used what was there. It got me EIB and should be 0 issue for Centurion. Go with the best fit of the pieces as priority #1.
  8. There are several AP build, mine among them. I found the helmet to be pretty quick. If it's not pre-drilled, see what you can do with your screw alignment on the ears, and watch the height of the brow when you're building. I had to shim mine up and glue it.
  9. Thanks all. At least 2 more troops next month.
  10. March 24th - Hamilton Heritagecon 13 at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Not our typical crowd but as everywhere, lots of Star Wars fans came out of the woodwork and kids were smiling. Picked up a sick Cantina Scene model kit.
  11. I agree with making them a bit big and adding foam inside for comfort.
  12. I'd clear more of it. The bite on the forearms can be nasty. Hi Roscoe. Check the references for TD's, as you'll most likely need to thin down the endcaps.
  13. Same rivets as used for the ab/kidney connection.
  14. That's gotta be one of the best build pics ever. And the sniper knee looks good so far!
  15. Fitting the sniper knee is a right of passage, much like the S-Trim on your bucket. I think mine was 4 tries. As has been said, look at the Centurion threads. Line it up as best you can on the sides, get it level and lined up in the front. Hot water baths can work miracles. Adding foam padding behind the shin on that side is almost a must to keep it out of the way.
  16. Have fun! Make sure you have all of your supplies for your build: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31404-supply-list-for-your-tk-build/ Ans set up your IMGUR account so you can post images: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42381-howto-post-images-in-threads-using-imgur-easy/ Here's a handy reference link for many common questions: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41016-billgrams-the-one-stop-shop/ And don't forget about the reference images: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/ Post lots. We're all here to help.
  17. If there's too much use of the "friends and family" option they can get suspicious. Yes, Paypal is evil in the same way as Stub Hub and Ticketmaster. They have a monopoly and exploit it.
  18. I'd use the ABS sheet that you have, cut it in a modified + sign and fold it to make a box. Use the galleries for finding reference images.
  19. I was just coming back to add that LOL. Yeah some padding behind the sniper knee will help. Also the straps on your holster stick out the top a bit. Not sure if that's kosher or not but it's an easy enough fix.
