BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for the pictures. Now I have a better idea of how to make mine. It's hard getting this to fit good when you're a healthy trooper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6' 265 lbs here.

Haribon72[TK] Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hello Jacob, great progress! Just wanted to help improve the ammo belt. When you have a moment, please move the two covers closer to the edges. I had to redo several ammo belts after learning more about the correct placements. Here's a guide below One of the screen references. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fix those when I get a chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Need to cut the back of the thighs for movement. Will this work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Big day! Woke up to a message telling me that I am approved at TK-14256 Still need to adjust some things for higher levels, especially my side straps so that the pieces coming from the kidney section covering my sides don't stick out wider that my ab section. Pretty excited, though, as this is my first build of anything like this. Also went to my first troop (unofficially) at a Bowl For Kids Sake event with a Star Wars theme for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Can't wait to troop as an approved TK, now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyearl Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Awesome suit. I just got my AM kit in. Did you use any particular walk through? I wanted to use Panda's, but his is not complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I used ukswrath anovos and his am 1.0 build thread and just disregarded the anovos and 1.0 specific stuff. Also sharkbait and Navajo Bros. Builds are pretty much the same regardless of armor maker, except for a couple small things.

BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I did watch a couple videos just to get an idea of what I was I doing (had never done anything remotely like this before). TrooperBay has a nice series of videos. I watched all of those for his sandy (again I was just watching to see how to cut and fit and do cover strips, etc). Something like “building accurate stormtrooper armor” on YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used two rivets to attach at the ears and one on each cheek just above the tube. The ear covers them cover those rivets when attached. I only used the six longer, flat head screws - one above and below the ear bumps and one at the bottom of the ear piece where t attaches to the bottom of the tube on each side. Here's an example of the rivet placement I found in a building group on Facebook. This is he same helmet. Some people use the other screws for temporary hold until they have it all fitting together the way they want. Then they replace with the rivets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What is the name of the armor building page on facebook? Sounds interesting.

There is the Anovos Stormtrooper Kit Building Group, TK Armor's Costuming Group (specific to AM Armor), WTF: Walt's Trooper Factory and tons more. Walt has some good helmet building videos and Eric Dyck has posted some great videos on assembling helmets in various groups, but he's easily found on the TK Armor page. I enjoy hearing ideas and opinions on different armors and seeing people build their kits, so I join new groups all the time. Once you join one, it seems Facebook likes to suggest others.
