ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Trimming cont..... BTW this is going to be heavy pics... FYI. Before I get started I'd like to add a new tool to my arsenal, the belt sander. Used it in my last TK build and immediately switched over to this bad boy for 90% of the trimming. Loving it. Sorry if this isn't a tool we should be promoting but it's a sanity saver. ON WITH THE SHOW!!! Shoulder plates. Edited August 9, 2015 by ukswrath 2 Quote

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 THIS... SO. MUCH. THIS. The TFA kit is a whirlwind of plastic. It seems to never, ever, ever end - until you start gluing stuff. The build that I'm assisting with at the moment has shown me this much. What we have done to help maintain sanity throughout it is group all of the pieces together by which armor part they go with. For instance, we have all of the left forearm pieces taped together, all of the right forearm pieces taped together (Not "staged/assembled" - just bundled together) in an effort to support the appearance that there is less work to be done, and when we are going to build the left forearm, we just grab that bundle and build it. It is much easier on the brain than keeping all of the pieces of the kit spread out all over the place, as that is visually quite daunting. If you haven't experienced it yet, then when you eventually do get to do so, you will lay out all of the pieces and just stare blankly at the sea of plastic that surrounds you. There are indeed, a lot of parts. Pave the way my friend. You lead, I'll follow. Such a beautiful dance this is. LoL 5 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for the vote of confidence Tim. Stay tuned 1 Quote
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Well this is a trial run so maybe once the kit goes into production it won't be so bad. Who knows. I just want a TFA Tie Pilot to be different 2 Quote
