Looking good, almost there

Thankyou for your feedback/help. Im working on to rectify the problems with it now. Only thing I can't really change is the drop boxes until I get new ones. But everything else is easy to fix.

Made a bunch of snaps today and started gluing to the kidney plate. Took a few try’s to get the technique down. The little circle tapping really makes a difference in how hard you strike the snap tool and how much you angle.

Looking very good

Ehmn….not if done correctly, I use it on all my TKs

looking good!

Static shot of fitting progress.

Taking a break from the intricacies of the finer details and had a test fit instead.

and now that I'm not on mobile, I can share a link more easily to said paste. If the acetone is hard to get Down Under, Joseph has an excellent tutorial for using Sugru to do the same basic things. It's for thigh ridge gaps, but works the same for hole filling.

So I’m at the end of the helmet build road (I think). This has been a lot more difficult than anticipated but enjoyed the challenge. I certainly don’t think this is perfect (but then again where they in the film?) and there are a 101 things I’d change if/when I do this again but I’m pretty pleased with the end result considering I’ve never done anything like this before. FYI, I’ve ordered a spare set of decals as I’m not happy with the left tear. Because of the contours it kept creasing. After multiple attempts the decal started to get more creased so I’ll be replacing that. I welcome your feedback…be gentle [emoji846]

Holes aren't actually that hard to fix on our armor. Look into ABS paste. You can make some easily with spare armor scraps.

Hello everyone! I glued together the left forearm and Biceps as you can see. Although there are not finished yet because I need to trim the top of the cover strips into shape. The right forearm and biceps will be finished probably tomorrow.

Brow trim looks good Some like to angle cut the ends of the brow trim but straight is fine too To fix your holes you can glue some ABS plastic behind, can also fill the holes with ABS paste Adding a small step to the ears can help them sit better. Tutorial here

I got 2nd place in Azzatru's Top 5 mods of the week. I made sure in the comments to again remind people of the great guys here that provided the helmet.
