NE Build, First Build

[mercury26]

I am a new member to the forum and about to embark on my first ever build.  I went with the NE Full Kit, as it appeared to be one of the better kits for my build (6'3", 235lb) and it was readily available (a lot of kits do not seem available).  I received the kit last Thursday and started going through it tonight.  Everything was VERY nicely packed and very complete kit, though the helmet faceplate had a small crack near the right eye.  I contacted the seller tonight, so I am hoping to get a replacement.  I haver been ordering most of the extras from here and there (mostly from here), will outline where I am buying things very soon.  I am trying to figure out where to start, torso, legs, arms, etc.  Any advice?  I will also add some pics tomorrow, but I have to get to bed right now.  Look forward to the build and apologize in advance for a lot of questions.  Also, I have joined my local garrison's forum to get to know folks local.

Never apologise for asking too many questions, best to do that than make a mistake, besides that's we are here for, good luck with the build

I am going to do a ANH Stunt build with my set.  On the helmet build, is the proper method to drill out the mouth holes?  Then paint the others?  Or to keep them filled in and then alternate paint?

Clean out all the material between the teeth first. You can start by drilling but then hone the openings with jewlers files or an exacto knife. You will be left with a tiny sliver of exposed plastic between the teeth once everything is cleaned out. You will want to paint that along with the main face of each tooth.
