ukswrath[TX] Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hello Tony, I know you haven't gotten there yet but on the Helmet, all the Anovos ones I have seen arriving on Facebook and even the shots of theirs on display do not appear to have tube stripes. Does yours have them or are we going to have to add them per the CRL? I'll have to take another look at mine. Didn't pay attention to that when I unboxed it to be honest. CRL does require it so if they're not there it will certainly bet getting some. Link to comment
DAshley84[TX] Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'll second that the Tube Stripes are not included. I've contacted them about that and the missing "helmet rig" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment
ukswrath[TX] Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 That is correct, no tube stripes on my helmet. No problem Link to comment
mikidymac Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Damn Anovos. Let the rants begin. Probably for the best since they can't get the stripes in the correct location anyway. Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 You'll definitely need to add them either from anovas, paint them, or pick some up from Anovos. 1 Link to comment
DAshley84[TX] Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Trooperbay.com also has them in stock (for now) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

ukswrath[TX] Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 What's the accurate color? Link to comment
ShadowDriver[TX] Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I just purchased the matte black from trooperbay.com. I read that they were to be black. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment
mikidymac Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I feel the first thing we should all do is complain to Anovos as all their pictures show them on the helmets and let them respond. Luckilly mine hasn't arrived yet so I have time to see how Tony does it. Still reading his OTTK build as I am working on mine. Thanks again Tony Link to comment

We, the FISD staff came up with and sent Anovos a list of HIGHLY recommended updates needed to the OTTK, so far we've only seen updated is the belt and some of the armor pulls looking better. I wouldn't hold your breath. Thanks for the kudos BTW, but really, I'm just another builder lol 1 Link to comment
mikidymac Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I already sent them a chat and they opened a ticket and sent it up to a supervisor. The Kit version states that it includes "cheek stripe" decals so maybe they can just mail out a few decals. We shall see. 1 Link to comment
ukswrath[TX] Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sounds good let us know how it works out Link to comment
ukswrath[TX] Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Can someone confirm if the traps, tears and tube stripes are to be the same color? Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Tube stripes are always to be black, preferably flat black to stand in contrast to the gloss of the helmet. The tears and traps can be either black or gray, but they should match each other. In other words, tears and traps are either all black or all gray. Link to comment
NitroSpartacus[501st] Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 They're all supposed to be matte black I thought. Link to comment
DAshley84[TX] Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Can someone confirm if the traps, tears and tube stripes are to be the same color? According to the CRL, the Traps and Tears can be either black or gray. The tube stripes are black so the 3 do not necessarily have to match. I believe one color choice applies only to Traps and Tears. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
ukswrath[TX] Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just a little update. I jumped ahead on the tube stripes because I know there's many following this and may be interested to see. I'll elaborate in detail later but in a nut shell I used TK tube stripe templates from TrooperBay and Testers 1149 flat black (as Todd suggested) and here's the results. For those who don't want to wait and see if Anovos will supply the decals, painting is just as easy IMHO. Trooperbay https://trooperbay.c...sking-templates 6 Link to comment
mikidymac Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Nice work as usual. And even better we know they are in the correct location. Link to comment
ukswrath[TX] Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thx. Yea correct location always helps. BTW, the template borders are just about a pencil with wide, almost makes it dummy proof. Link to comment
mikidymac Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I know some of are getting hit with the additional shipping charges on these. Is everyone being charged this? Link to comment

Depends on where you live. There's another thread already discussing this. http://forum.501stsp...__40#entry63114 Link to comment
