SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well almost... Kit is on its way. But I'm so excited I'm starting my thread now. My TK boots did arrive today thought! And so the new obsession begins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ahh yes the excitement and the pain of waiting for the big brown box, even worse when you have to wait the weeked too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hopefully it's not late and actually shows up Friday. I'll be home so I won't miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obey Wann[501st] Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Awesome! I get my kit on Monday. I'm so glad I get my mail delivered to the UPS store. I never miss a delivery when i'm at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Behold! The big brown box! After a UPS snafu that resulted in me meeting the driver at a UPS Store to pick up the box from him. It has arrived... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'll have to dig into this tomorrow. Between Sharks playoff game 2 and Iron Man 3 tonight I'm swamped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Unpacked. As you can see, I'm very excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Any suggestions on the first piece to start with? Taking a page from my Iron Man build, I won't start with the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsDKP Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm likewise starting on an NE build, which I just received. Exciting and daunting! I was wondering if you knew -- the extra curved shoulders, with no ridges, and the hexagon pieces... What are these for? I assume another variation but I can't figure out which one. Just curious. Also, am I missing something or is there no thermal detonator back-piece here? As for first piece, a lot of threads suggest biceps for getting the proverbial feet wet, which is what I'm going to do.

SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi Guns, Not sure about the extra pieces yet. I wish it came with an inventory sheet the tells you what each piece is. I guess we will have to figure it out as we go. I may try the biceps today. I also have another build going right now. Red Skull. I hope I'm not biting off too much.

ZacMuleer[TK] Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 The shoulder straps without ridges are an option for some sandtrooper builds, as are the hexagon pieces- those are in place of the sniper plate on the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Held my breath and made my first cut. Hope I did it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave1138 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Cant wait to see more from ya. I just got my NE box today, now I got to work all weekend then go to Vegas for a week...the pain! At least I got my Droid so I will be watching this and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Progress so far... Biceps, forearms, right thigh. Still have to do the back on the thigh but I'm letting the glue dry on the ammo box first. That thing was a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Got the left thigh going too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Filling a gap in the thigh. Or at least trying to. I'll have to touch it up with some gloss white. How do you fill gaps like this? I just taped the back and filled it with e6000. Ok it won't let me upload the pic. Keeps saying the file is too big.

Obey Wann[501st] Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I usually host pics on Picaa, flickr or facebook, then post the link to the /jpg using the tags. Good luck, can't wait to see your progress. I'll be working on mine like mad this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I do almost all of this on my phone using Tapatalk. It's really a pain to do anything else. Does this forum have a limit on pic uploaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
