Gregory[TK] Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 After many months I've finally started on my Anovos ANH stunt TK kit build. Previously I purchased a full kit from another person who never started, for a decent price. My kit came complete except for boots and blaster. I looked at the stuff in the big brown box but didn't do much for many months. I bought some binders and a helmet fan kit. I got my IB boots a couple of weeks ago. I figured it was time to start trimming. Last night I finished rough-trimming the armor. I say that because I didn't trim to the line, just outside of it, so I can sneak up on it using my bench sander. Otherwise I've been studying the instructions, and familiarizing myself with the parts. I think I have everything, I might be missing the small ab button strip. Still looking for it. Previously my first costume was an ESB Boba Fett I built from scratch in about 13 months. Then a Resistance X-Wing Pilot, mostly self-made, and then an Old Obi-Wan Kenobi, also self-made. Felt a need for another 501st costume when I stumbled across this kit. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook1138[TK] Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Good to hear you are getting started! If you have not already seen it, check out ukswrath's thread for his Anovos build. It's very detailed. Good luck. Be sure to post lots of pics and ask tons of questions, PS, yeah, you are in the right place for build threads. I think he meant that if you request 501st member access, you will be privy to even more threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory[TK] Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 OK, understood, I requested and was granted 501st member access. Thanks for the tips. Over the last couple of days I assembled my belt and TD, and painted and glued on my button strips (having found the small one). Last night I spent a few hours finish trimming my parts with snips and sanding the edges. Then today after spending some time continuing on that, I realized I didn't have my butt plate. Looked everywhere. I think it must have been missing when I bought the kit. That's going to slow me down a bit. I can probably make one but it'll be hard to get the material to match. Anovos's ABS is pretty white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwede[TK] Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 TMs (troopermaster) abs is a very close match to Anovos, you find him here or on FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory[TK] Posted August 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Well Apparently I'm terrible at build threads. I found out this morning that after a couple of minor corrections I was approved. Thanks for everyone else's helpful posts and threads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
