Guest Peasap Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi guys My armor is finally arriving today (August 24th) after a lengthy wait. It's an Anovos Stormtrooper kit so I'll be beginning to build it asap and would love to meet up with local troopers for advice and support. Long time Star Wars fan, originally from the UK, I've been here since 1999. I look forward to meeting you guys. Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkRocketScience Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Paul! Welcome to the ISG forums! Glad to here that Anovos is shipping their TK kits! Classic TK or First Order? Our next "armor party" is posted here: Stop by and say hello and bring your kit to work on if you like! @Sithwithdaddyissues can help set you up with a mentor, if you would like to get some help navigating your way through the process of completing your kit and applying for membership.

Balue Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Welcome Paul, what area of town are you in?Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peasap Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll definitely be coming to the Armor party. I'm planning on building a classic TK. As for location I'm in Mira Mesa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peasap Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Forgot to add, a mentor would be great, this is something completely new to me, so looking forward to building my TK but don't want to screw it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balue Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 You are not too far from me, glad to meet up and help you out Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaanon Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Paul and I met briefly yesterday. We went over his kit (and Manda's). The good news is the new Anovos kits do not have the belts pre-assembled, so we can save some aggravation on the glue. I ended up pointing him towards Rob (who lives closer and his protege bailed). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jef Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm also in Mira Mesa and built and Anovos kit so if there's any questions, I'm literally down the street. -Jef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks Jef, that would be fantastic. Have to say thanks to Rob for stopping by this evening and sharing his wisdom. The more help the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up trimming the chest and cod this evening so I have all of the core pieces done, now to work on the extremities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me up when you get to the point of needing snaps, use of a snaptool, velcro, webbing (for connections and snap plates), and elastic. I have a bunch of this stuff I have bought in bulk and happy to sell some of those items to you pretty inexpensively. I'm also in Mira Mesa and can help out at some point as well if needed. Been on a bit of a hiatus lately, but trying to get myself reengaged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Work on going. Need to take some pics to show progress. Rob helped me again this week with more trimming and fitting. Going to start gluing a few pieces this weekend. Looking for the best place to pick up all the various required rivets and fasteners, any advice appreciated. Thanks guys, can't wait to get this to a wearable state! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to buy them locally, Tandy has stores in Chula Vista and RB. Work on going. Need to take some pics to show progress. Rob helped me again this week with more trimming and fitting.
