Jedimaster1971 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 So I took advantage of an offer and decided to start with a ANH TK helmet, this will be a test of my building skills, have built other stuff in the past ranging from tamya model kits, to a custom starlord walkman...... but this is the first time building something that will be "judged" by other professional people..... my BBBox day is expected to be Wednesday 12 December....... photos to follow Wish me luck troopers!!!! 1 Quote
Frank75139[501st] Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 Best of luck with the build. Nobody will be judging you we are all here to help you get approval into the 501st or build an awesome prop, whatever you decide. With your experience I’m sure this will be a no brainer.

wook1138[TK] Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 Good luck on your build, Gordon. Read a few builds and check out the applications for EIB and Centurion. Building to the higher levels right from the get-go is not that much extra work and definitely worth it. We are also here to help... and not only to judge. Quote
DStep[TK] Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 Hi Gordon!You’ll be fine...your building experience will just help things go easier. Can’t wait to see the progress pics on your build! Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 12, 2018 Report Posted December 12, 2018 Have some research material on hand and it will make the build a lot faster. Also check out the gallery section for specific helmet details. Good luck with the build. Quote
