I'm Batman[501st] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Good to see some artistic ways of presenting the box. Quote
aicire Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 LOL Just want all focus to be on the box... not my totally awesome shoes or baby carrier Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Who doesn't enjoy seeing a big brown box, good luck with the build Quote
aicire Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks all. I was excited to get home lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Minuteman Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Unpacking time always has the two sides of a medal to me. On the one hand you are like "WOW, this is freakin cool " and on the other hand I sometimes just want to run away, afraid of messing it up You´ll get over it and build an awesome TK, I´m sure Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I love it when the excitement fades and the panic sets in "OMG what do I do with it now", don't forget RESEARCH and the old motto "measure twice, cut once" Quote
aicire Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 Hahaha as I was digging everything out, my husband says, so.... Who is cutting all that? You better find someone else to do it. After dinner I'm going to do an quick inventory. Luckily for me, a guy within my Garrison is building a TK too, and he is 5'4". We can be short build buddies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
aicire Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 I'll tell you, the chest piece fits way better than I thought it would lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

aicire Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 awww shucks. I'm so excited, it's silly. Question. Does anyone know if the AP helmet is supposed to come with S trim? I have not emptied the box yet lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Dark CMF[Staff] Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Big brown box, very excite!!! Impressively quick work on that bucket, too! Quote
aicire Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks! This is the second one I've built. And this time, I purchased it trimmed. I played hell fitting my ears on my first one. Eventually got it. (Thankful for two sets.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 13, 2014 by aicire Quote
aicire Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 nice job! if you need any help [email protected] Thanks! I'll be sure to take advantage of all the assistance available ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Excellent job on that lid ! Question. Does anyone know if the AP helmet is supposed to come with S trim? I have not emptied the box yet lol AP doesn't come with an S-trim (but you should have a second "U" one long enought). Also, it's a good thing to change the mic tips in case your are aiming for EIB as the AP ones are only 501st approvable: - basic AP aerator on the left and more accurate one on the right: Ok i know i shouldn't but... nice cleavage Quote

I'll swap them. And borrow my S trim from that bucket too. And thanks. I tried to crop them out the best I could, with leaving the most of my tattoo. LOL Hopefully a compression top will allow them to fit under my chest piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
aicire Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Posted March 15, 2014 My ATA and AP side by side One of these things... are not like the other My shameless noncanon disco stormtrooper (WIP) I am working on either replacing completely, or sandblasting the lenses inthe TIE... cannot see out of them at all. My AP helmet is finally painted. Also, I am pretty lucky that my husband lets me keep my helmets in the livingroom lol Lastly, went tool/supply shopping. Quote
aicire Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 Okay so. Cutting is way harder than I expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
