Planning to be there. With coins for those who still need to pick them up. Probably going to bring some baked goods. -

Planning to be there. I’ll have the Vader’s Fist 25th anniversary stained glass coins for pick up (and some patches/stickers if anyone wants). As per usual, I’ll bring some store bought baked goods. Got some new lobster work to do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hoping to be there. With luck I’ll have the Vader’s Fist stained glass coins for all who ordered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I've got the same kit, Jef. Same bucket. Completely normal. Gotta remember the originals weren't smooth. Everything was wonky. You're good. Run with it. Personally, I like a smoother bucket also. my WTF is smoother, so is my AM. AM is also a bit larger depending on what you need. Brian

Looking good so far. I posted some comments on FISD. Hope it helps.

Details are broken down on the CRLs (Costume Reference Librarys). https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_hero https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt

Hey Shawn! Welcome to the party. Again, it was great meeting you last night. Hope to see you at the armor build party Sunday! Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any time. Three places you want to make sure you look: The CRL whether you go ANH Stunt or Sandy, that’s your build guide; www.whitearmor.net, that’s the detachment for Stormtroopers; and www.mepd.net, the detachment for Sandtroopers. Follow the detachments for build advice and info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re on Facebook, look up Star Wars Kit Finders (buy, sell, trade, discuss). You can find AM selling directly in there. Best part is they’re up in LA and typically have kits on hand. When I ordered min, I placed the order on a Sunday and had it in hand that Tuesday. While you’re at it, ask AM if he has any boots in your size. Hands down they make the best out there but due to competition from China they stopped. They may still have a few sizes on hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ve got some folks in the garrison with WTF kits. He makes a good screen accurate kit. Two problems, in my experience he’s slow to deliver. I’ve had to pester him repeatedly on orders well past he promised delivery time. Although I think if you get in when he’s doing a “run” it might be better. More importantly though, I think you’ll end up too tall for his kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

501st doesn’t exactly “vet” armor or vendors. They’ll keep an eye out for known problems and will sometimes say a certain maker is not approvable. But that’s about it. Most armor can be approved, but that depends on you, and the assembly. Even if you buy a premade, previously approved kit from someone else, that’s no guarantee it will be approved for you.

For your size, I’d probably go with an AM kit. I’ve got one myself. It comes with plenty of extras. There’s a lot of common building between an ANH Stunt and a Sandy. Sandy has some different parts and of course, the weathering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
