cm325i Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 Yup! Another Anovos build. Not sure how much detail I'll get into on this one. I've done this a couple of times so I'm pretty confident going in. This kit is for my Fiancé and I plan to go straight for Expert Infantry. I'll post a side by side helmet shot w my MTK bucket. Haven't seen one on those yet. Anywhoo... Obligatory BBB Day photo in the elevator... Shenanigans (I sent her this pic when it arrived)... Dam thing barely fit in my car! Based off other photos seen so far, I'm definitely going to tear apart the belt and redo w correct number of Chicago screws and a TKittle belt. Probably take off all the oversprayed paint and decals from the bucket for correct hand painting. Definitely going to tear out everything from inside the bucket and redo that. Tossing all the Velcro and going with elastic and snaps for everything. More to come! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

cm325i Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Posted January 28, 2016 Pulled a forearm out of the Anovos box and held against my AM forearm.... Look at the difference in brightness and "shine". AM on the right is a glossy bright white plastic... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
cm325i Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Posted January 28, 2016 Also took a look at the thickness of the plastic... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 What a beautiful laundry basket holder! I almost spit my coffee out! Makes me appreciate my MTK helmet even more after seeing the side by side. 1 Quote

TKModder421[TK] Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Can I ask what you used to strip the paint and decals? Edited October 26, 2018 by TKModder421 Quote
