Valyyn Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hello everyone, I've fairly recently finished modifying and tweaking my SDS Battlespec helmet (had a "build" thread on the UK Garrison boards and had lots of great help there) and now my armour has arrived! (This is cross-posted with the UKG boards - so apologies to UKG members who have to put up with me twice!) I'm very nervous about putting this together, but I've spent the last year reading build threads and advice, so hopefully I should be OK! Plus I know you guys will help me with anything I'm not sure about I am FAR from an expert (this is the first set I've actually seen in person), but it looks pretty good to my untrained eye I'd like to hear your thoughts on it though! Oh look - a brown box! Wonder what could be in it? Huh? Bits of plastic? Wtf? Woo! The full set laid out: Close up of the front and helmet: Close up of the back and belt: So now comes putting it all together! It came with some nice printed instructions, which should make it a bit easier. Very nervous though! Once I've finished assembling it (lol), I just have a couple of bits left: Boots - Arrived a few days ago from TK boots. Neck Seal - My other half is going to make me one, we've got the material already though. Belt - Need to get some decent canvas. Undersuit - Already got. E-11 - Got. It's a ROTJ one, but will hopefully be clearable at least until I can afford a proper ANH one. I've got three days off now to work on this - wish me luck!

Valyyn Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Interesting photos for those of us in the U.S.A. thanx for posting these... Yes, AA is cureently selling most of his stuff in assembled AND also in kit form.... will wonders never cease...... Thanks for the support guys Chris - I forgot you couldn't get SDS in the US.. if you (or anyone else) are interested in any closeups of any parts of it just ask and I'll be happy to oblige! Day 1's work: I've got pretty much all the popper tabs glued on and made a good start I think! I've applied the cover strips to the thighs: I've finished the shins: and glued the arm halves together: I've also done various other small bits and bobs such as gluing the panels on the ab plate. Now to get on with day 2! Edited October 31, 2010 by Valyyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riveting Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Its been a while since i've seen an SDS kit, good luck with the build , considering AA has been offering "spare parts" for a while I guess an unbuilt kit would be the next step?
