My eyes are glazing over. What do I still need to pick up?

[Kal]

So I just purchased this kit: ---------

 

From Mark over at AP, and are now wondering what else I should start picking up in preporation for my kit to arrive. The kit is the pre trimmed version so a lot of the work is being done for me.

 

So far I've sent an email to get a pair of boots, and luckily already have a black underarmor set which should work for the body suit.

 

What else do I need to get? My eye are starting to glaze over with all the information on this site, and it's getting a little confusing, not to mention a lot of the older stickied

posts have dead links win them

 

Any help is really appreciated.

Brad;
 
I understand the information overload. lol. I spent about 3 months on the forum, just reading and researching everything I could about materials needed before I even touched my armour. It can be overwhelming for sure.
What you need will all depend on how you are going to build.... E6000 glue vs. CA glue. Snaps vs. traditional brackets, for instance. It's very hard to give you a shopping list per say... Many times during my build, I had to get creative with what I used...
 
Have you tried this post? Even if some of the links are dead, it still gives you a great list of generic supplies you might/will need.

Reviewing others build threads was a tremendous help to me....

 

Best of luck!

Nice Kal, I picked up the same AP kit! There's probably a master list of stuff you need somewhere here on FISD (maybe someone more senior on the forum will chime in), but I'll list off some stuff I can think of off the top of my head.

 

While you wait for your kit, you might as well order in some TK boots, helmet padding or hard hat liner, S-Trim for the helmet, correct mic tips, 3 tubes of E6000 glue, make sure you've got a sharpe knife, a long straight edge for cutting, an E11 blaster (kit), some white industrial velcro, helmet fan kit, voice amplifier kit, flexible hand guards, original strapping kit or a bunch of snaps, neck seal, white belt, black undersuit, inner drop boxes and some small hobby paint cans of the colors you'll need.

 

Don't forget sandpaper and patience!

I posted a thread in the "Getting Started.. Read this first" section called "Supply list for your TK build".  It covers pretty much everything you will need for your armor build.  Hope it helps!

AWESOME! That would have been sooooooo handy when I first started out.
