my first build with anovos kit wip

[shamankid]

I'm not sure if i have this in the right place. I'm making this while waiting for my kit to come in.

 

i have talked to a lot of people that say i should really aim for centurion level and i have to say to those people thanks and i will once i have a little more money saved up for a mass shopping spree. so while I'm waiting i have a question and needing help . if i dont reply instantly its because im currently working 2 jobs thanks to budget cuts.

 

questions and help

 

1. i am aiming for basic at the moment due to said problem and I'm looking for cheap and good quality items in my local stores. i have found a few items in my local joanns and hobby lobby that are in the centurion category. so to save time in money can i add the items to the build so i don't have to add them later?

 

2. i was browsing amazon for white shoes and i found a pair from a company called funtasma. i found a review that said it was good for basic but the review was pretty old and i dont know if anything for this shoe has changed here is a link

3. i also checked out the drskin and i like the shirt my question is the pants. i cant tell the difference in the listing on amazon outside of price maybe someone can who has bought from this company can tell me what if missing something or not or if i have been pulling to many hours and finally lost my mind since i never bought clothes from amazon and i want to get it right the first time.

I can help with at least some of these!

 

1. I didn't have an Anovos kit, and I bought almost every craft piece from JoAnn fabric. The few exclusions to this were humbrol paint, the white fabric belt, and the Line 24 Tandy snaps that I use on my own kit.

 

2. Those boots work for the basic level of approval, but not for EIB or Centurion due to the seam going up the middle of them. Personally, I would recommend TK Boots if you were buying a good-to-go pair. It costs a tiny bit more, but is Centurion level, and as long as you get the fit right, is one of the best pairs of boots I have ever worn. If you have any more questions on if something is certifiable, the CRL (Costume Reference Library) can be found here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt

NOTE: This is assuming you are going for the Stunt Variant. If you are going for the Hero Variant, it would be found  on this page: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_hero

 

3. I honestly don't see a problem with either of these. The only vague cause for concern I would have would be with the waist logo not being covered by whatever compression shirt you choose.

 

Hope I helped!

I have some experience with this as I've just about wrapped up some modifications on my Anovos TK.  Being on a budget is not a bad thing, at all.  If anything, it makes you hyper-focused on what's important and getting the right materials the 1st time around.

 

I'm sure you've already seen this link but I'll put it right here, just in case: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-ukswraths-anovos-tk-build/ This is the thread I used for all of my modifications.  GET THE BRACKET system he links in the thread!  It's worth it's weight in gold!  Take your time with your build and if it has to go slow because of budgetary reasons than so be it.  Slow progress is better than no progress and soon enough your TK will be something to shout about.

 

Best of luck on getting the TK together.  It's an exciting process that just takes time and patience!

thanks. i will get the brackets for the simple reason i seen a few do's and dont builds on youtube and the builds that dont have the brackets fall apart and the brackets just look a whole lot nicer.  i am going to treat this kit like a life size model or those old star wars 3d puzzle kits. speaking of which i will never put together the star destroyer or the death star 3d puzzle ever again. hurry up kit so i can break out the dramatic music and lightning and scream "its alive"
