2nd GLG Anovos TK!

[Leprechaun]

Woohoo! Go JASON!!!! Uber congrats... I am now with a bit of envy. But I will get there!

[JAYSONCOMGUY]

Many mahalos! I'm super excited to get trooping. It took a village. Special thanks to Ripcode, Brent, Donavon, and all the troopers helping troopers. Can't wait to return the love.

Finally got a very small area in the garage... Pulled out the space heater and started sanding again. Thigh and son pieces are sanded. Torso parts tomorrow... At least staying them... Then... The fitting begins.

It's coming along! Just a few more things (belt, detonator), then I can start strapping it together! Thanks to everyone who's helped me. It's be a fun process. Also, now that it's warmed up, I'll be happy to host a party in my garage. Easily big enough for several people to get some work done. If anyone is interested, let me know and we can start looking at dates!

Sanding finished. Napping with my son next, then going to start gluing the thighs and shins... Then... Strapping. Woot!

[Leprechaun]

Slight hiccup... My strapping is currently MIA. I opened it to get the neck seal out and no idea what I did with it after that... Let the insanity searching begin!

[yooper419]

Nearly there...

Again, my offer of hosting an armor party still stands. I'm in the Grandville area and the weather is going to be BEAUTIFUL in a week or so. Is anyone interested?

[JAYSONCOMGUY]

Nick, that magma is coming along beautifully! I'd be down for an armor get-together, but I'm not sure I'll have the free time between now and when I jet to the U.K. in two weeks (to teach overseas for a month). All the same, keep me posted and if I'm free, I'd love to jam in. I'll be the one continuing to sand sharp edges off my own armor--bleh.

Are all the Grand Rapids ones all set? I need to get going on mine now.

Plan one, and troopers will show up.

I'd bring mine to work on

Hello Everyone, I'm very new to making any armor and I am looking to join the 501st. I talked with Ripcode and Kevin W and I will be ordering parts for a season 4-6 Captain Rex armor set. I am not sure when everything will arrive but when it does I will need a ton of help. I really don't have to much cash to spare as I am a college student but I wanted to make this investment in making a costume. I am afraid of making a mistake and having to spend a ton of money to try and replace parts so I would love it if I could get help with assembly. I know that this is a GR TK armor party but could someone who wants to make a clone armor set come as well? I will be in East Lansing and in Whitehall, MI in for the next 2 months as I am going back and forth between the 2 for work. I will be heading through GR often which is why I am asking if I can stop by and get some help. I can also try to help anyone that wants help with their armor. I may not know how to do much but if you show me something to do I can do it, I am a fairly fast hand on learner. Thanks!

The animated clone stuff goes together very easily and quickly! I "may" be able to squeeze in time for that. Check with me, after you have received your kit.

OK, I would like to plan one. But I need help with adding plastic not trimming. With the chest armor, legs, arms. So it's not as easy as just trimming. So need some more advanced help from the bigger troopers.

I used a plastic welding technique to add the shims to my TK kidney plate. Here is a link to the thread where I explained how I did it. Maybe this will help you a bit?
