Deckard1138[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks for the info. I just saw that Anovos has the neckseals on preorder. Do you think the FO kit is more difficult than a TK to assemble? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three FOTK generations were definitely harder to build than a OTTK, they're far more complex however, the newer gens coming later this year are supposed to be easier. Guess we'll have to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadSword[TK] Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 @ukswrath I'm just starting on my journey and I have a dremel, lexan scissors and the belt sander. What grit sandpaper would say is best for trimming and shaping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What grit sandpaper for the belt sander would say is best for trimming and shaping? Hey Marcus, belt sander I use 80 or 120 grit. For the small, more delicate sanding jobs I use a Black & Decker Mouse with a variety of grits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Hendrix Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Tony - maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread - but how do you know exactly where to cut the openings for the shoulder bell straps & metal tab? Did you just put the back piece on and then eyeball center over your shoulder? Or is there a measurement guide to know where center of the shoulder is? Thanks!

Hey Seth, I did as you said, installed the armor then had someone draw a line on the yoke directly over the center of my shoulder. From there I made my measurements and cuts as seen here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31877-ukswraths-fotk-build-thread-tk-10116/page-14#entry442849 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCantBe Sidious[TK] Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have a question on the belt. On the two boxes, I have marked as 1 and 2, box #2 appears to sit lower than box #1. How much further down should it be? Thanks, and/or my apologies if this was covered. I did not see it mentioned elsewhere. (image attached hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCantBe Sidious[TK] Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Thank you sir! I will rock with that, and thank you so much for posting so much detail. Although I am building a fiberglass kit, it has been a fantastic reference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread will help whether you want it canon detail or not. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is since The Force Awakens the armors are now very similar in design, even Rouge One designs are similar to the FOTK. Once you've built one the next should get easier anyways.
