Shin Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Alright, so I'm on the 6 month or so waiting list for ATA armor but I'm going to start documenting this process as I go starting now. I have made some great connections through this process already, even though it is still very early in my build, most of all Solcar23 / TK-5924 / Carlos has been exceptionally helpful. He took it upon himself to send me 10 split rivets that I will need for my Centurion build along with some extra goodies; a 501st patch, a Midwest Garrison sticker and of course, trading cards with his mugshot on them! Thanks so much Carlos! It's attitudes like this that will keep me interested in moving forward at a decent clip. Next, the boots.. A couple of weeks ago I was doing research on boots and decided to start from the boots and work my way up until the armor arrived. I was very disappointed that tkboots.com was having supplier issues and was not looking forward to the dye process. Out of desperation I emailed tkboots.com and asked if just by CHANCE he had my size sitting on a shelf somewhere, I wear a fairly small, uncommon boot size. To my complete astonishment he DID!!!! I was so excited to get these boots... However, I did not try them on and "action pose" in the mirror, that would have been ridiculous for a grown man to do. Next, I'm selling off some old nerdy stuff (as Carlos calls it) to fund this new project. I have some TK budget money coming in soon and will purchase my next piece. I'm considering breaking the "boots up" rule and buying the lid. Will keep everyone posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 A great start to your build, getting everything ready before your armor definately helps once it gets there. Have a think about building to EIB and Centruion requirements as it is easier to do this from the get go. Good luck with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trooper[TK] Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am glad you found your boots that you wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am without a doubt building straight to EIB/Centurion. I don't have a long enough attention span to go back and have the initiative to fix it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
