Just received my 1st kit, an AM and already having issues
Hawkeye replied to JimCem99's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Also make sure your wear your undersuit and measure it! close them to together, then draw a line with pencil. Then score using a plastic cutter! you can get it a ACE Hardware for cheap. Then snap the pieces! then you line both ends together like how you would line up 2 rulers side by side! then tape them at both sides and fit it! Once you are happy, cut cover strips! and cover the seams! Are you thinking of doing cover strips? See the shins that i have attached. Biceps,forearm,thighs,shins i used same method. ALWAYS CUT LESS maybe with 1cm first then another 1cm! but if you cut 1 inch, you can use the excess as cover strip or inner strip. In this pic i have added inner strips and waiting for it to cure. I use E6000 glue! they are the best!! Do drop me a PM and send me your email ID, i will forward and help where i can! -

Questions about AM(FX) / bucket
Hawkeye replied to tasadek's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I have an AM FX, you can cut it to make it fit. Look TKrestonava's post and Pandatrooper builds. They are excellent. TKTupperware is excellent to work with, and also I have his new helmet, but have not got around building it,yet -

My Tupperware AM Build[*AM]
Hawkeye replied to TKittell's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Hi Rob I have an AM as well, i got the belt from you which i must say was excellent by its own. Can you send me some pics of your internal snaps and how you used the suspenders? I am about to to this as well. -
Hi All I want to offer my thanks and i am very greatful to all who have provided me with advice. My Armour is almost done, and hopefully i can get the straps working. I would also like to single out Terry and Brian!!! you have been really great! and you tips are excellent. Lots of troopers will benefit from what you both have done!!! I have pics of my build, which i will edit and post once i am done with the first trooping this weekend!
-
Hi Brian Me again, can you send me your contact for the drop box please.thanks
-
Thank you guys! we all appreciate you both! I am gonna read up,and go the extra mile and do what is required for the ab button All is going well, hope i can make it into EIB, need to find a better blaster
-
Thanks Terry, i will check. I will follow the method you used. with extra abs for the 4 buttons
-
Hi TKrestonava/Terry I am now working to color the ab buttons using the humbrol paints. Which scheme should i use for EIB? the French Blue 14 or Midnight Blue 15? Also, how did you attach your plate which has 4 button? Separate ABS Plastic or did you drill into the ab? Thanks PS: Shins are done, and i have painted my Thermal Detanator and looks awesome!!.
-
Thank you, i have been building everything with E6000, so will go that way,and do half and then half. nice tip on the tape off thoose area that dont need glue! Thanks again
-
Hi Guys. me again! sorry to bother you with so many question. i am about to glue the shins! I do not have clams deep enough but i have earth megnats that are silver and round! How did you guys put glue the shims? Did you add ABS glue to each Butt of the shin, or did you just glue half of the strip on one side,then do the other? Thanks
-
Hi TKRestonva Why use a separate PVC pipe?Just want to ask, as i need to build mine. Can we just use the one that came with the armour?
-
Thanks for the tip. I think when we fit without the belt, it was thought to be restrictive for the bells. I still have the pieces. I will build the entire armour and then see if i need to do something with the abs. At the mo, the back armour wraps around fine and closes it. So i might not have seems on the side. (Do you think its wise not to have any seems) i might cut off the top of snaps and paste it there and make it look like its snapped but actually its just stick on. What do you think? Works? How would the inner part hold, Velco! Share your thoughts mate,
