joby619[TK] Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 It’s been a long journey and I know it’s only just begun. Thanks to everyone who contributed to my build thread and to everyone who participates is this community. I found great value reading through various threads and how tos. My journey to the 501st began in December 2016 when I ordered my Anovos OT kit. I received my kit in January 2018 and immediately began building. A fellow garrison member commented that I completed my build quickly, but it actually took me well over 100 hours. I stopped counting when I realized I had reached that bench mark. My family didn’t recognize me when I finally emerged from the garage and I had grown a beard in the process. I was frustrated at times and often asked myself, “why am I doing this?” All my frustrations disappeared when I first put on my completed armor. I am currently working on a Disney blaster conversion, but am itching to start a new armor build. This hobby is addicting! I am looking forward to my first troop and to finding my next project. Thanks again everyone. 2

lucnak[TK] Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Two months is often seen as pretty quick, congrats on that! Some folks take six months, some take a year, and some experienced builders take days! Regardless, it's always a lot of work!
Addertime[TK] Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Congrats on the approval and welcome to the ranks. 100 hours is about what I spent on my TK as well. It's a nice round number that is both a relief and still leaves you wanting more.
