Just got it today so haven´t really tested it, no problem putting on/off with just the glove but I can see some training is requried when in full armor. Glove can´t be too thight to begin with though so I checked that before ordering And I got some lines pre-installed but the great thing is that you can change them out as you like just plugging it in to the computer.....obviosly I have no idea HOW to do it but there´s a manual included so should be able to figure it out...eventually

Made some decisions today.

 

Decided to plasti-dip the Anovos helmet.

 

Decided to start the clean-up of the KB helmet between layers and started by cutting down the excess from the mold. Already cut most of it in this pic.

 

Decided after cutting it down to keep the grove of the mold as battle damage, Just going to sand and paint.

 

Decided to have some fun. Also decided to make a new CRL for a new Stormtrooper variant - aka the Duck-Trooper.

This thread needs to replace the stickied thread that’s currently referenced for KB builds.   

 

This is is what I wish I had seen before I glued my armor together.......

It does give it a cleaner look doesn't it. Surprised the movie helmets didn't do this.

Finaly gotten around to test the audio kit.

 

Also made an update to keep the biceps more secure and to keep the gaps even throughout troops.

 

Teaser

 

 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Awesome, me and another vendor we'll have something similar that integrates into my audio kits. These are so cool.

Summer project

I think you should consider upgrading your F-11D with buttstock to a properly sized one. The one you have really throws it off right now. It's supposed to look massive.

And Scope, and clip lol

[TheSwede[TK]]

Got some Riot gear and some spare parts (spats) The webbing, elastic and grips are for the shield.

 

I broke a clip greeblie on this Troop and had to go spat-less

 

I did manage to get the rest of the clip off (not one for using E600) and replaced it but never felt content with closing the spat by that small clip and velcro, didnt feel like doing the snap variant. Then Anovos came out with their instructions I jumped on the idea and ordered new spats from KB and a spur of the moment skull trooper helmet and the sheild and consequently had to get the baton

 

Much more secure and less likely to brake. As a bonus the spats came from a new mold and had a much better fit then the previous ones, JSIN also confirmed they had new shins so I guess the KB kit is getting more and more accurate. 

[TheSwede[TK]]

The handle part was missing (coming later) so I finished what I could. The shield itself is not totally accurate but it’s still a cool add-on
