BBB day. Helmet has arrived! Will take pics later when not at work Will be collecting some blasters this weekend from Tom along with some belt material!

Great work Nick. Looks great.

Hey Chuck. I plan on posting a full build of this kit as I have yet to see one. Dennis is a great chap to deal with. He is very busy too!

I just noticed that the MP40 Pouch I bought off eBay is not screen accurate. So I will be making some changes as highlighted in the pic below: Square flaps highlighted blue. Stitching highlighted yellow. Oblong shaped tabs circled in green

MP40 Ammo pouch arrived. Have made stitching all black. I used a black Sharpie on the stitching, then black shoe polish to remove the Sharpie stains from the leather. Anovos Helmet is on its way as of 2 days ago. Will be going to a tailor over the next week to get full body measurements for both the undersuit and armour. Have been researching the leather pouch and blaster strap and am considering making these myself.

08/05/17 Right. So I was originally going to do a Shadow Trooper, however I have made a change of plans and have started the process of building the DT. Because it's too awesome not to do! This is my first ever build so will be trial by fire!

Hey Mark. I am keen on getting one of these belt kits. Have tried messaging you on Facebook. Cheers!

I think that is a very reasonable outcome. Are there going to be L1, L2 and L3 distinctions or all basic?

Has the CRL changed already?

I got my bucket from Anovos. I have to wait until August for armour :-/

Nice! I am currently in the queue for armour from Dennis. I also have one of the 5 slots for the soft parts. Been helping a little on the design

Not really a poop storm. Great discussion IMO. All perspectives need to be considered.

Congratulations! Looking great!

My personal opinion would be to sell the TK and buy a TX. Way less hassles and cheaper in the long run. I am sure it won't be too much of a hassle to sell a TK, especially an Anovos one.

Looking great Nick! Almost there! These build threads a super motivational.

I don't think the character is a pilot. I guess we'll find out more closer to release. Either way it's a cool costume.

Yes Jim and also Sister Margaret's was doing a run. But has since gone silent. She must be very busy... I have messaged her about 1-2 weeks ago and still no response yet. Will also be people at SWCO as well

I agree. You're doing great!

Love the detachable probe droid from the back pack. Already on preorder 211 days to deployment

I lol'd

I saw from SWCO that Anovos are going to be offering DT armour in about a month. Will be interesting to see what kind of materials they will use and what kind of pricing they will do it at. I am seriously considering ditching the Shadow to do DT only if this happens...

Look under Special Ops programs> The "Specialist" Program

Nice. I am looking at purchasing the armour from armorshop too. Interested to see how it turns out!

Those air soft ones seem to lack some details at the top of the clip. Here is a comparison between real, airsoft and DT Personally I would be looking at the real G3 clips that have been disabled or the more expensive 3D printer option. I opted for 3D print to save hassles.

I have also seen some makers 3D print these straps as well. Could be an alternative option?
