  1. So I had some time, so I decided to finish a long over due project. I've had my A.N.H. v2 that I had worked on for a while. I love this bucket.

    I had started to weather it, so tonight I decided to finish it. I wanted to get some thoughts. I decided a nice, subtle weathering vs a super heavy one.

    Let me know what you think.

    The flash has it a little lighter probably that in person. I don't know. Let me know.

  2. To answer your question....

    It's a good price for the bucket and all the guts. A kit alone will cost you over a hundred, then throw in the electronics it adds up.

    It's true the FX is not longer allowed for deployed or Elite, however if that's not you cup of tea, it should not be a worry. It's still approved for the 501st.

    Their are better buckets out there, that are pretty easy to get a hold of. The starting price is north of 200.00 USD.

    So now you know and can decide what you want to do.

  3. yea, it's been a worry of mine too Mike and thanks for the compliment. It's been a fun build.

    I'll have to be pretty darn careful with it. It does seem like it's very sturdy and there are no "loose"/thin pieces. I realize it's not going to take a good hard fall well, but I hope that day never comes. During this process, I've learned to sculpt the parts a little (due to air bubbles, my mistakes, etc...)

    It's also been built to break down for storage and transport. I'll take some pics of that tonight perhaps. I need to work on the bolt a little (I've got to trim it down so it's not so long).

  4. My armor is sanded as well. I made so many mods that it required a painting to cover up the resin, model putty, bondo, etc...

    I like it sanded and painted. I've mixed a gloss with a flat primer (not mixed together, but sprayed over each other in different parts) I get some "shine" in parts and it's very flat in others. Then the dirt.

  5. On the top and bottom right?

    I think those are just TD/O2 canister end caps. I believe the "control panel" is just the face of the TD/O2 canister. I think that’s right, but some more experiences sandy’s can confirm for me.
