Reno_Geek Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 After waiting a year for Anovos to deliver I decided to switch to Diversity Props. I will be adding photos from the very early stages of the creation of the armor until it is completed. Below is everything I have purchased to complete my kit. Some of it was bought in anticipation of the Anovos kit that will now be included with my Diversity Props kit.

tkrestonva[TK] Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Many of us have attached bolts to the blasters so that they can be holstered. You don't necessarily need the 100% screen accurate bolts to do it (but kudos if you decide to go that route). You simply need bolts that are long enough and that have the proper head size to fit within the holster grooves. Quote
Reno_Geek Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks! How hard are the blasters to modify? I asked the seller and he hadn’t drilled into his blasters before. Sounded like he might be able to modify it with working bolts if I could give him general placement, spacing between the bolts and length of the bolt as well. Thank you again. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Not hard at all - it's just a matter of drilling a couple of small holes and installing the bolts. But I would wait until you get the actual armor together so that you can accurately determine where the holes should be. 1 Quote
Reno_Geek Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Posted July 29, 2017 Thanks, that makes sense I went ahead and ordered the Blasters. Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Posted August 3, 2017 Picked up a storage container for my armor last night. Plan on painting it with a New Order twist. 1 Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Posted August 3, 2017 My Aerator from Vaderpainter and helmet electronics from ukswrath came in today. Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Posted August 5, 2017 Prepping my Stormtrooper storage for paint. You can also see the colors it will be painted. Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Posted August 8, 2017 My undersuit from 'Stormtrooper Undersuit' came today. After opening the package I didn't think it would fit. Though sure enough it did, though very skin tight. Still Prepping my storage container was hoping to have a least a coat of paint on it by now. Taping everything off has taken a lot longer than expected. Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 Those undersuits are certainly snug! Treat it well. Mine is perishing around the 'shiny' seams after the first troop.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Posted August 8, 2017 Well that sucks. Was hoping I was getting something that would last me more than a few troops. Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 Well that sucks. Was hoping I was getting something that would last me more than a few troops. Hopefully you'll be fine but just giving you the heads-up. Others have echoed the same issue in the past.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Posted August 15, 2017 Finally started painting my storage box. Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 Nice work! Great looking kit box.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Hopefully your Aerator swap goes well. I have been debating about doing that myself but I am not sure of the best way to remove it since it is glued on. The box is looking awesome! Are you going to put a a First Order logo on it? Quote

I'll let you know how the aerator swap goes when I get my kit in the mail. Yeah I plan on putting a first order logo on the red section. I finished painting it late last night and will post a picture later on today on how it turned out. Have some over spray and a few areas that need to be touched up. However overall it turned out pretty good. First time doing something like this. Quote

I have been debating about doing that myself but I am not sure of the best way to remove it since it is glued on. The plastic aerator on the Anovos Standard bucket actually pops off very easily. It is literally stuck on with a thin line of CA glue. A gentle 'push and pull' on the aerator sees it pop-off in no time Quote
Reno_Geek Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Posted August 16, 2017 Here is the Husky storage container completely painted. Working on getting the vynl for the First Order logos now. Will be getting a plaque with my TK number once I get it. 1 Quote
