I thought this was THE BOX on 12-28-10

... turned out to be a wall clock my work gave me for enduring 15 years.

I was SO EXCITED, then SO LETDOWN. It was kinda funny!

Vladimir thinks I'm insane, that's why the ears are back.

Oh man, I agree about the box. That was harsh!

 

I am loving watching you get it all together, Jenny. Can't wait to follow in your footsteps.

 

DO hurry with the gun pic, though! That's one thing I'm shopping around for right now, and really excited about, haha.

NIce so far...

I have my Armor... but now I need all the stuff in your post!

 

lol

 

 

heee heeee.. seems like you never have enough stuff!!! :) AND I still need boots, under suit, strapping - snap stuff, probably more E6000, UV polish protectant... etc.

I do have my hovi mic tips, but my post office had my package underneath a cow they were shipping - so the tips got smashed, but pretty brand new ones will be coming.

Got the TK Boots 30 minutes ago. Yipee!

They fit very well, I am a size 8.5 womens so I ordered a mens size 7.

Thx Sarah,

The 1st ones were $5 cheaper than the TK. For awesome shoe selection - I have to recommend SHOEBUY.COM.

I totally LOVE them. But, they don't have anything close to the TKBoots. - So, I love TKBoots, too! :) Y'all have a good

weekend. :)

I got my armor yesterday!!!!! :D

Wooo Hooooo!!!!! How did they get ALL THAT to fit neatly in 1 box?!

[The pictures are in backwards order and my 2 trusty assistants are Greg and Vladimir.]

 

I think it will be another week before I get the courage to start trimming. I'll have updates next week!!

Hey Sarah,

I have an old exacto knife, but am going to wal mart to buy a new one. I have painter's tape and E6000. I have a heat gun and modeling iron, and clamps and magnets, but I'm lacking courage right now! haaaa haaaa.... I still need sandpaper and a pair of sturdy gloves. I'm scared of slicing my fingers - I'm a bit accident prone. :)

I call that smart thinking, hahahaa :duim:

 

Maybe it will help to pick out where you will be starting, and then watching build videos of that all weekend. I know every time I start watching them, I itch to get my armor here already!

Hey Jenny great to hear that you got your kit!! Take your your time, have fun and take lots of pix!!

 

When it comes to cutting the material, just use the score and snap method...

 

Start with the arms first to get you acclimated to your build. Link to the arm tutorial: http://www.whitearmor.net/home/tutorials/armor-tutorials/arms.html

 

BTW, which TK version are you doing?

clamp a metal ruler or a piece of aluminum to the armor.

 

score the armor 2 times with the box cutter.

 

take a pair of pliars and bend back and forth carefully.

 

snap.

 

one fast clean cut!!

 

sand edge with 60 grit lightly.

 

done!

 

for curves, use a pair of short bladed scissors or a pair of tin snips!

Hey Sarah and Vern,

Thanks for the encouragement and awesome info.

I will be watching other people's armor builds and following Vern's good advise.

I'm going with ANH style. I'm going to take my time and try to have fun, oh and

will take LOTs and LOTs of pictures, too! :P
