Fudgepop74 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi all, just getting my post started for my upcoming build, im still a little under a week away from BBB, but in the meantime have been collecting many, many, many, parts and supplies. In the time that I have been waiting i'm 99% positive I have everything I would need, ordered more than what was required for a single build but this being my first build I thought it prudent to leave room for a few bumps in the road. Going for centurion right from the get go, so i'm just going to pace myself on the build. The funniest thing is the biggest problem so far is not worrying about the build but worrying about if I made the right decision for a TK over a TD, im still wavering between both.....Wish me luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwede[TK] Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Good luck and while you wait look over as many builds and EIB and Centurion apps as possible - it will make the build easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Nice to see a new WIP. And, another trooper aiming for Centurion - great to hear! :-)Best wishesDanSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139[501st] Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Welcome! You made the right choice, stay clean! Do a TK and then a TD that way when your TK gets dirty you can make it a TD. Or like most of us here when you do your first build you’ll want to do more so then you can make a TD and have both.

I think you know what the answer is; eventually, both. Congrats on the BBB, and enjoy your build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudgepop74 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Did a final primer pass then did a plasti dip on the inside (photo above), painted my bumps and teeth, after I clean it up I will paint the vocoder black as well.
