I just finished building this exact kit and revision. If you need some pointers I'm here for ya :) Hope you have a TON of patience with gap filling,sanding, and detail work. Some parts were just a DOG to get to fit right!

Good Luck !
 
oh i have patience.. i have a 4 yo and a 1.5 yo. the seams and fit are horrible. but my trusty bottles of super glue and my supply of sand paper and sanding sticks have won! now i am ready to prime.. then more filling and sanding.aligning the vanes are going to be a headache.

let the primer sit for a couple of days now sand and smooth some things out, and to figure out what to do with the hold out blaster on the ankle.

Awesome work! Main blaster and the holdout blaster look excellent. That moss looks like a must have!
 
ok some trial and error but i got the holster done. now what to do about the troopers large pack thing on his back. Is it extra communication gear or counter intellegence or some thing

The HUMP on his back is actually a Survival pack !!! not a breathing apparatus nor some communication thing....

Its easier than you think !

Good luck !
