Hi Adam, Great to know you're starting you build.  Feel free to ask all you need and take a look into the build threads section:

Good Luck and Welcome.  

 

 

Thank you--and I see now that I probably should post there as I continue my build!  Sorry about that!

Hooray!  BBB day arrived last week, super fast from Mark in Canada but I had to go out of town for work right afterward and really didn't get a chance to look at it until this weekend.  I went with the untrimmed kit.  I've been reading lots of other AP builds here, but feel I still have a lot to learn.  Really appreciate all the great builds people have posted.  Look forward to standing on the shoulders of giants as I dive into this.

 

 

 

For any fellow Russian Ural sidecar drivers, the BBB fits nicely into the hack!:

 

Lots to do!

 

 

Daunting, but also exciting!
 

 

I have lots of the tools I need already--plus a few more on the way.  Does anyone have versatile rivet guns they really like that they care to recommend?  I had a cheap one, but lost it in a move.  Would like to get a good one I can get a lot of mileage out of. 
 

Still need to get some boots.  I see TKBoots.com are no longer around, and ImperialBoots.com bills their boots as "narrow".  I have super wide paddle feet, usually wear a EE width boot.  Anyone with wide feet have experience finding comfy boots?

Fantastic! I hadn't even thought of polarity sorting. Thank you both!

Amazing build!  I just got an AP kit myself and will definitely be taking a great deal of inspiration from what you've done here.

Inspiring tutorial! Came for the magnetic shin guide, stayed for the. . . whatever these are . . .

Looks like a great idea to protect/manipulate the magnets.  Is there a tutorial on these somewhere?  I think I can figure it out, but is there a recommended kind of material or thickness?

Beautiful work! Love the varying shades under the black.

[Hello from Minnesota!]

Hi everyone,

I live in Minneapolis, MN.  I just ordered an untrimmed TK kit from AP based off of research on this site.  Thank you so much for the fantastic wealth of info.  Lots of great threads here.  I'm excited to embark on this adventure and look forward to getting to know some fellow Star Wars maniacs.  I'm somewhat daunted by the time commitment given an already intense schedule, but am not too worried about the fabrication challenges.  I haven't worked a ton in ABS, but have done a lot of wood, metal and cardboard fabrication, as well as a ton of model and prop building. 

I guess the next thing to do is gather some supplies and start a build thread, right?
