Welcome aboard, Gaz. Look forward to seeing some pics of your progress. :-)

If you haven’t already, be sure to sign up on the ukgarrison.co.uk forum and start your build thread. Myself or another one of the armoury team will pic it up and help guide you to clearance.

Best wishes

Dan

Thank you very much.

 

I actually do have one - I made it years ago. I've been interested for a long time and the account is probably 4 or 5 years old. I'll make sure I update it.

Welcome to the FISD!

 

If your a midlands lad I'll see you in Birmingham once the world reopens enough for conventions to not be a terrible idea.

 

Would have been great to build a suit whilst shielding!

Thank you. Yes fingers crossed I'll be in a position to get out there with a completed costume when we are normal again. 

 

Glad to meet a fellow Midlander

Hi Gaz! Welcome to the boards and good luck on your build! I’ll be starting on two builds hopefully this weekend or by the first part of next week, depending on shipping time. Although mine and my son’s kits aren’t from RS, their build videos on YouTube are as great resource and I’ve been watching those as well as CableGuy’s videos in preparation for our BBB arrival. I hope you will start a build thread, as I look forward to following your progress.

Hi Shawn. That is awesome. I bet having someone to do this with makes it really cool. My partner is a teacher so she is working right nigh but in a few days I might try and enlist her help a little more. 

I had a look at some cableguy videos last night. thanks for sharing that resource.

 

 

[Hello from the Midlands, UK.]

Hello, all. I am Gaz. I am from the Midland, UK. I am in my early 30s with broad shoulders and 6'3 (thought i should mention my build somewhere).

 

I may have jumped the gun yesterday and posted in the armoury forum before dropping in here, so sorry about that.

 

I mentioned some of this in my first post so sorry to repeat some of this info. I'll start at the beginning. My now fiance helped me on the road to this enormously. Not to mention putting up with midnight showings and The European Celebration weekend. She pushed my to do this which has been a life ambition of mine - all very mushy but I thought it was an important part of the story. 

 

So, after doing a lot research I landed with RS Propmasters and first of all we purchased ANH stunt bucket which was fully commissioned. This looks the hardest part so I cheated and brought it outright. 

Later we brought the rest of the kit to assemble with a E-11 blaster which i purchased at a discounted cost at the RS open day. The only things I have left to buy are some boots and the black under garments. 

 

Fast forward two years later and I have finished all the DIY around the house whilst shielding and I am ready to get cracking with this. 

 

Thank you to the guys who have already offered their assistance and well-wishes in the armoury forum. I spend a lot of last night stalking other member's forums and they have been a big help.

Thank you, both. So, this is the first thing I’ve done. I have a lot of trimming to do - does everyone question themselves as much as me when they start? Ha ha.

Hello. I’m gaz.
 
Like many others in the U.K. I have been furloughed. I work in the events industry so god
Knows when we will be back in full swing.
 
Today I have decided to stop being depressed and start working on this project. I have had this kit for two years so I have no excuse.
 
I have been a bit scared of starting like many others but I want to confer this fear.
 
I have a kit from RS propmaster. I brought the helmet complete as I heard it was the hardest part. I want to assemble the rest of it myself.
 
I have set up an area so I can watch the RS YouTube channel. As they have advised I am starting with the biceps.
 
Just wanted to say hi. Wish me luck.
