    Seems like DoopyDoo's haven't sold a kit for about a year or so.

    Thanks very much for the prompt responses - I had been keeping an eye on your thread, as my original intention was to go with Doopy's blaster kit. This didn't materialise in the last 6 months and sourced my own 3D kit.

     

    Excellent finishing set, but I would only need about a third of what's included.

  2. Hi all,

    I’m in the process of building an e11 from BlastMaster.

    For screws, like those used in the muzzle or other “hard” fixings, such as the pin in the folding stock, what do people use? Trying to source accurate pieces and not having much luck. Locally, I can’t really find anything in hardware stores that even closely resemble the reference post;

     

    Thoughts or any pointers on where to potentially look?

    Based in Ireland 
    Thanks in advance

  3. Not much of an update today and BBB will be a number of weeks out yet, however, continuing to gather soft parts. 
     

    Boots: Imperial boots VIA RS Props


    Gloves: Heavy duty black Marigolds (Tesco)


    Hand Guards: Silicone Flexible Hand Guards sourced locally

     

    Is it too early to start looking peripheral items such as cooling / trooper amp etc?

    Any single undersuit or top & bottom set with no logos is good. I've got some sets in my local Aldi or Lidl when they have them in stock.

    Shall peruse the special buys when their winter clothing is back in rotation :)

    You got it Daniel!  @SyntaxerrorRichard - please be aware that your build thread is now in the ANH Build section. 

    Rookie mistake number 1 :laugh1: will take note for next time!

  5. Hi all!

     

    So, I have ordered my TK kit and am now patiently waiting, (sort of), for the BBB day. Lots of pictures will indeed be posted. 

     

    I have ultimately gone with 2mm ABS capped for my first kit. There were so many good vendor recommendations from here, the Irish forum as well as here as well as individuals I reached out to,, but ultimately went with Ross @ RWA. Absolutely first class when it came to answering stupid questions from a new recruit :).

     

    I have also gone with a commission from another 501st colleague based on recommendation. I would not have confidence in myself, well, not screwing it up!

     

    There are some pieces I aim to either mod/build myself to polish off the kit once its here, but first and formost, I think I should start gathering the soft pieces.

     

    In terms of under suit, I assume that any copression wear would suffice, provided no logos or coloured stitching are on show?

     

    Thouhgts on either?

  6. Hello all!

     

    As the title says, hello from Ireland. Live in the south east, married, we have a near 2 year old little girl and work in finance.

     

    I have  been following for a little while and have decided to go ahead with a tk build. 
     

    That’s it really - any questions or want to stop for a chat and questions feel free.

     

    I’ll be setting up a build discussion thread shortly so I can benefit from all of the members experience. 
     

    thanks all!
