WhosTaylor's Female Anovos build

Recommended Posts

I am a Centurion TK with anovos armor. In seeing me build & troop, my better half decided she wanted to be a TK as well.

 

So... Here will be the documentation & explanation of how I get the Anovos armor to fit a fun-sized woman of 5'2" 110lb. I'm adding all of the detail to make it as screen accurate/meet all centurion specs. (Even though it is unfortunate that it may not be approvable at centurion.)

 

Also, if you're looking for all the detail on how to build the armor please see UKSWRATH's build. It's been extremely helpful to me & many others.

I started with the belt.... I replaced it with the Kittell belt.

 

I didn't like the idea of taking the rivet caps off. So... I decided to cut the canvas belt off at the rivets, and use snaps to hold the ammo belt onto the canvas.

To get everything properly placed... I measured the length of the belt, marked the top lightly with pencil. Then eye-balled from the center rivet of the ammo belt to the top back side & drew a light line. Then, took the pencil & scribbled on the tips of each of the 3 snaps on the ammo belt. Once I lined it all up a pressed down on the canvas belt. Voilà! Placement for the snaps. Once that was attached & on. I measured 2cm to the right, and 1.5cm from the base for the 1st hole for the holster. Straightened the handles(?) for that. Eye-balled the further hole. Checked that it was 1.5cm.

Next: Helmet

 

I cleaned up the ears, replaced the ear screws with the proper screen accurate ones. Cleaned up & repainted the frown. Cleaned up the eyes. Mounted the lens on the ear screws, and put in a new hard hat liner.

 

I will be replacing the hovi's with UKSWRATH's helmet electronics kit, and adding the hearing assist, etc. (I'll update that when those arrive.)

Interesting to see how this'll turn out....(if only my missus even liked Star Wars, that'd be a start...)

I gave it time & let it speak for itself. Now.... I can barely get her to set down the dremel & stop shouting "I love power tools!!!"

Left Nicole alone for a few hours. She got the entire kit cut out, I sh!t you not. She's killin' it.

I started the sizing with the biceps cuz.. Well... They're definitely the easiest.

 

There's a good amount needed to be chopped off.

To start, I used a cover strip aligned to the top inner corner (right where the inside of the bicep dips down) and drew out a straight line.

Then, I measured out 7.5mm(half the width of the cover strip). Taped it off. Scored & snapped.

For those that have been around my TK build... I love super glue. That being said....

 

Here are the finished biceps. (Gonna clean 'em up once it's all done)

Did a lot of little things... Sized the fronts of the shins & thighs for cover strips. Cleaned up the shoulder bells, and made all the snap plates.

 

Also... Put the body armor on Nicole to try & get an idea on how to tackle fitting it.... 0a9810bc4c5eb327d20d4937ff62a700.jpg8e0f1059431fb385f412b8b3953f84d2.jpgf7eb284d1c103b662c87cddb5498685b.jpg53374914c39dd9cfc6190cacc32db2b9.jpg889830ef4f6bdb5d70c3b26e85102264.jpg083b79b4dbd22566cf07deace848a6aa.jpg

Reason for this is?

 

that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

Her being 5'2", my conversations with ukswrath, and the way some of it will fit (back plate for one) won't be allowed at centurion.

Yesterday & today were a whole lot of cutting, sizing, sanding, repeat.

 

All that's left to fit: legs.

 

 

One major thing I kept in mind while sizing everything is: you cannot resize the helmet. (Thank you Tony)

Shoulder bells: I cut off 7mm from the side & 10mm from the bottom.

 

Back: no change.

 

Kidney: no change

 

Chest: no change

 

Ab: 1cm off of the left & right side. Cut the cod piece off & brought it up about 2cm. I haven't determined how I'm going to reattach it just yet.

 

Forearms: cut 2 of the squares off. (I don't remember the exact measurements) 9c931e0903b262e6b6b8471d5c647b1e.jpg

I left them a little bit wide on her on purpose to keep everything a little bit more proportional. I have full intent to add foam. c41bd21a0f71c3a0a98be075efa5e1eb.jpg

 

 

I've had a very soft goal to get this armor done by May 4th, and so far... I think we might still be on target!

We met the goal! Still gotta readjust how the thighs are held up, and helmet electronics.

 

Here are some of the approval pics.

I'll post pictures & more explanations on how I did the parts I haven't mentioned tomorrow. :)

Helmet electronics!!!

 

Hearing assist

Hovi speakers & mic

icomm, hovi amp, hearing assist unit, & voltage converter (for usb power)

Fan & battery placement

8bc8dfc0273137de6218b95d423a26bd.jpg

 

 

Updated electronics:

-Painted the icomn white (thanks for the tip Blacky)

-Added a 3rd fan

-Rewired the fan system to run off both USB batteries.

 

(This was a solution to a problem I was having with the batteries remaining on with the hearing assist. It requires such minimal power that the battery's "smart" technology would turn itself off even though it was running. I had a usb splitter with a small thumb drive plugged in, but I like this system better.)

Internal strapping:

I used snaps & the heavier duty elastic that came with the anovos kit. I used Velcro to hold the backplate down a bit. (Until I decide whether I'm gonna cut down the kidney plate or not)

Fitting the armor in the small husky:

First, I put the shins & forearms in the thighs

Then I lay those inside the torso armor. (Push the biceps into the thighs as well)

Beyond that... Fill in the gaps with the rest of the suit. (Soft goods, blaster, belt, boots, etc.)

Unfortunately, the helmet doesn't fit inside, but that's what a helmet bag is for!
