My first build: TFA FOTK.
So I'm doing this thing. Kit arrived March 2020. Then, as everyone is painfully aware, things happened. Also, looming fear of messing something up, but I'm just going to DO THE THING.
I apologize in advance that I may not be posting regularly. I have a short stay-cation in August before I'm working full time and simultaneously helping my 3rd grader get through online schooling (NBD, right?).
I am leaning heavily on the supply list from this post:
I will update this post with additional supplies and links as I go.

The old N95 masks I had in storage because 2020 is the worst
I'm starting with the helmet. I will make it a goal to do some video, but cutting and sanding ABS is not kind to cameras or cell phones.
Ok, a little afraid again but DOING THE THING!!
