Ok, so about two weeks ago I personally recieved the GIANT brown magical box from the postalwoman, though it wouldn't fit in my front door! I am still a padawan when comes to TK knowledge, but man I am impressed! Just taking out the pieces overwhelmed me for sure. Lots of trimming still to go, and basically the coolest thing, ever. The bucket particularily stands out IMHO.
Thanks Terrell!
Its here, its here, it's here! Opening this while listening to the Imperial march is something I will never forget.

Just like a kid on Christmas. Here it is!

So far I have-
-White Industrial grade Velcro
-Krylon White Primer and gloss white
-Sanding sponges, 320 and 600 grit
-Snaps, need 7 more...
-black elastic type material, in 1.5' and 2' inch width
-TK-4510's awesome decals
-Rubber gloves
-TK Boots
-Neck seal, just waiting for it to arrive...
-Smitty's Lens
I still need-
-blue and gray paint for the frown, ears, and ab buttons
-E6000 glue
-Lexan Scissors (Probably getting these this weekend at Hobby Lobby)
For the blaster I am modifying a Hasbro E-11 (A huge thanks to Robb who recently is hooking me up with one!!!) with a resin kit from Doopydoos. Electronics will be later down the road once everything is put together, a ROM/FX if I have the money. I was thinking putting it together, then painting the suit. I noticed some troopers paint the inside of the bucket black, is that needed for the Expert Infantry designation later down the road?
Despite my urges, I plan on holding back on the helmet till the majority of the suit is snapped and strapped up. TK-4510 provided a huge thread on how to assemble a ATA helmet, so I might give in to the temptation this weekend too...

Man is it a great feeling to know you've finally gathered all the materials, especially on this costume, unlike my RFT, lol. More pics to come, to make sure it's up to Imperial Standards.
