Ok, will do. Thanks again. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Mark! Of course you'd be in this forum Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll trim them up and start assembly shortly. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Thank you! I think I mistakenly looked at a paint guide for the ANH Hero, instead of Stunt. I'll double-check in future. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Ah, that's awesome. Thanks so much! Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Hey Dan, that's awesome, and thorough, thanks very much. I'll make adjustments once the paint has dried and touch base again. My can of Goof Off arrived yesterday, so it will get swift use. Thank you! Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Thanks for everyone's help thus far. My next question is: I've applied the first coat of paint to my helmet. I've followed a few painting tutes and references from FISD, but would like opinions on the teeth and vocoder before I apply a second coat, please. I think I'll wait until I've assembled the helmet to attempt the rube stripes, unless anyone thinks otherwise.

Thank you!

Thanks - it's great to be here! Yes, I purchased the brackets (and everything else) in February when the world was relatively normal. However, I already know what my next build will be (HELP ME), so I'll hit you up.

Ok, phew. Thanks for the advice. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I have a question about my drop boxes: the inner drop boxes do not fit snugly inside the outer drop boxes. Is this something to worry about? Or, can I hit them with the heat gun and massage them out a little to fit more snug?

Thank you! It's been a lot of fun so far!

I'm after a little feedback before I begin assembly and painting. How do the eye and teeth holes look here?

Thank you!

I've begun slowly building my helmet so I can get each step right before final assembly and painting. So far I've sprayed the interior with Plasti Dip and fixed the helmet suspender clips. I'll then line it with black Neoprene foam and glue in velcro to hold the electronics. It's truly an act of Zen to tape up and spray these pieces. Next I'll clean up the eye holes and teeth, then begin positioning.

The first piece I built was the Thermal Detonator. After digging around the FISD, I found dimensions and details (Billgrams!), then followed Ukswrath's build advice. Here's the tube after taping and spraying. And here's the finished TD.

Hey folks, First post here on FISD and I'm excited to announce this is my first every 501st build! I'm building a TK Stunt with my sights set on Centurion certification. May as well gun for the top from the get-go! I'm from Melbourne, Australia, and looking to join the Nightfall Garrison here. The folks there have already helped me this far, but now I'm inviting the larger community for your opinions and help. I actually ordered my armour in February, but the pandemic has played all sorts of havoc worldwide and I received my trimmed kit from AP only a few weeks back. I may not make the first 1000 (maybe I'll be 1001!), but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun regardless. This delay also meant I've had a stack of time to research builds and acquire tools and mods to get me to Centurion. Thanks in advance for all your help.

The trimmed kit I've actually begun the build on small pieces first, to build up my skill and courage to move onto the larger pieces. I'll post progress pics below.

That all sounds great, but Andrew (the designer) would be better suited to answering your queries. Good luck! Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I ordered the resistors according to part number in the BOM (via Digi-Key) and everything works just fine - no extra components required. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I've recently ordered and assembled all the components for Troopduino and it works a treat. Many thanks to Andrew for his tireless assistance! I've chosen to run on 18650 cells and have moved the headphone jack off the board to allow for a case install.
