Hi my name is Frank and thanks for accepting me. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all on my journey toward completing an ANH Stormtrooper (Stunt) costume. I am looking to go Centurion level. A lesson learned to share. Diving in, I initially purchased an Anovos Imperial Stormtrooper ensemble.. I paid extra to have is built by ANOVOS. I later learned, I should have just purchased the kit instead of fully assembled since some of the particulars, such as the lower legs were made incorrectly per 501st requirements and can not be corrected since the adhesives used fused the strips to the shins butt joint and cannot be removed without damaging the costume. Another was rivet placement on the armor is incorrect. As well as 4 rivets instead of two for to connect the holster to the belt. As I progress through my build, I hope I can salvage most pieces and not have to purchase a new kit. Either way, I look forward to the journey.
