Ukswrath's Anovos Shadow Stormtrooper Build

[ukswrath[TX]]

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.

I'll second that the Tube Stripes are not included. I've contacted them about that and the missing "helmet rig"

That is correct, no tube stripes on my helmet. No problem

[mikidymac]

Damn Anovos. Let the rants begin.

Probably for the best since they can't get the stripes in the correct location anyway.

HAHA so true

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

You'll definitely need to add them either from anovas, paint them, or pick some up from Anovos.

Trooperbay.com also has them in stock (for now)

What's the accurate color?

[ShadowDriver[TX]]

I just purchased the matte black from trooperbay.com. I read that they were to be black.

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

Good luck with getting Anovos to update anything. 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

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.

[ukswrath[TX]]

Sounds good let us know how it works out

[ukswrath[TX]]

Can someone confirm if the traps, tears and tube stripes are to be the same color?

[toddo[TX]]

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.

[NitroSpartacus[501st]]

They're all supposed to be matte black I thought.

[ukswrath[TX]]

Thanks guys

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.

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.

[mikidymac]

Nice work as usual. And even better we know they are in the correct location.

[ukswrath[TX]]

Thx. Yea correct location always helps. BTW, the template borders are just about a pencil with wide, almost makes it dummy proof.

I know some of are getting hit with the additional shipping charges on these. Is everyone being charged this?

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