Timberwoof[TK] Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 If Only I Had Known Read Ukswrath’s thread all the way through before you begin. It is filled with tidbits that you will want to know ahead of time. There’s plenty to read until BBD. Get more magnets and clamps. I got 20 thin ones; 20 thick ones would have been better. Read the Centurion approval threads. Learn from other people’s errors. Oopses Peel the protective film off before you glue things together. (Don’t worry: It peels off. Then you can reglue the parts.) If it doesn’t feel like it fits that way, then maybe it doesn’t fit that way! Fo your approval photos, get someone to help. The TK Armor is not easy to put on yourself and get right for inspection. Additional Advice The Anovos strapping system is okay for initial fitting and your submission photos. But you will probably want to upgrade that. The Anovos belt is silly. Get a good one like Imperial Issue. Get Centurion-approved boots even if you don’t now plan on that level. The Sterilite 32 gallon tote is perfect and is a good thing to practice masking and spray-painting on. Thanks To The fine troopers in FISD who encouraged and advised me along the way. My friend Razek the Dragon who took time off from his vacation to help me suit up and pay attention to and fix all those finicky details. He earns a 501st patch! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkbait[TK] Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 If you can get your TK armor on completely by yourself- my hats off you to! I can do everything but my shoulder bells connections. Very good advice! Yes, yes, you can never have too many clamps, or magnets. But especially clamps.
