Zanderval Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 As my armor is set to arrive this week I wanted to put together a shopping list of things i would need to assemble everything. I bought some CA glue and accelerator and already have my undersuit and gloves. Also bought ESB decals from trooper bay for my helmet. Was looking at paints i was gonna need, I saw humbrol 15 and 5 for the ab buttons and satin black for the frown and vocoder, would I be able to use the same black for the mic tips or should I get a different paint?

Echo[TK] Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Flat on the mic tips. (At least for ANH, don't think it's different for ESB ) Edited April 4, 2013 by Echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solcar23[TK] Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) For building your armor use E6000 not CA glue. If you make a mistake (almost inevitable) you won't be able to pull the pieces apart for fixing. With E6000 its very forgiving. You can pull apart any piece and remove the residue with your finger if you need to. I had to pull my forearms apart at least two times in my build to make adjustments and I was thankful that I used E6000 as opposed to epoxy or CA glue. Heres my list of items I used to build my armor, these were my essentials. clearly there were lots of optional upgrades which I don't regret at all, some are still available here on the boards some aren't but with some searching you may be able to gather most of it up. I created an ANH stunt kit so you'll need some different details for the ESB version.
