Busy Work - Suggestions Needed

[OnlineJeff]

I'm well into my Sandtrooper build.  Blaster is complete, backpack is almost complete, Helmet is well underway...

 

I can't get armor until November.  I'm on the waiting list for ATA armor...

 

I've ordered or am ordering most of the other stuff I'll need (undersuit, balaclava, gloves, boots, etc...)

 

What busy work can I be doing in preparation for the armor?

 

Should I start assembling snaps and straps?  If so, does this thread pretty much cover how many I'll need?

Any other busy work suggestions are appreciated.

You could start painting your own chelsea boots, sewing your own belt or pauldron, snaps are a good point if your not going for the original strapping. Also get the right cap and split rivets, hooks for the calves, handguards, etc. You see - a lot to do ;-) and when the helmet arrives you'll have enough to do for some time

And most of all RESEARCH, read, read and read again, look at some of the build threads to know exactly what you are doing and remember Sandtroopers have a few differences to us Stormies, especially with the higher levels

My suggestion is to help build others armor. It's fun, social, and will prep you for your own build.
