I got my boots from Imperial Boots which is now Keep Trooping. Very good quality. For gloves I use black gloves from the hardware store. I still use the Anovos undersuit, but I added thumb loops to the cuffs to help prevent naked wrists. Gregory Smith BH-14710

Hi, I was approved in August but still can't post to the "Newly approved Members" thread. Any help?

My TK was approved in August, but still shows as pending in my 501st profile db here: Detachment Affiliation(s): Bounty Hunters Guild (Approved) First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (Pending)" https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=22684 I only mention it because I can't post in the "Newly Approved Members - Sound Off!" forum thread.

Well Apparently I'm terrible at build threads. I found out this morning that after a couple of minor corrections I was approved. Thanks for everyone else's helpful posts and threads.

OK, understood, I requested and was granted 501st member access. Thanks for the tips. Over the last couple of days I assembled my belt and TD, and painted and glued on my button strips (having found the small one). Last night I spent a few hours finish trimming my parts with snips and sanding the edges. Then today after spending some time continuing on that, I realized I didn't have my butt plate. Looked everywhere. I think it must have been missing when I bought the kit. That's going to slow me down a bit. I can probably make one but it'll be hard to get the material to match. Anovos's ABS is pretty white.

Requesting access please. https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=22684

Um, isn't this the build thread forum section? I thought that's what I was doing.

After many months I've finally started on my Anovos ANH stunt TK kit build. Previously I purchased a full kit from another person who never started, for a decent price. My kit came complete except for boots and blaster. I looked at the stuff in the big brown box but didn't do much for many months. I bought some binders and a helmet fan kit. I got my IB boots a couple of weeks ago. I figured it was time to start trimming. Last night I finished rough-trimming the armor. I say that because I didn't trim to the line, just outside of it, so I can sneak up on it using my bench sander. Otherwise I've been studying the instructions, and familiarizing myself with the parts. I think I have everything, I might be missing the small ab button strip. Still looking for it. Previously my first costume was an ESB Boba Fett I built from scratch in about 13 months. Then a Resistance X-Wing Pilot, mostly self-made, and then an Old Obi-Wan Kenobi, also self-made. Felt a need for another 501st costume when I stumbled across this kit. Wish me luck!
