this is for my already built TFA TK, im just wanting to attach the new pauldron on it. ill check your build thread kman. thanks mate.

what size types of magnets would you all recommend? N52 but there are so many types out there?!

Hey all, i wanna attach my TFA TK pauldron on using magnets using the powerful n52 types, but i heard glueing the magnets can weaken the magnetism, so just wondering how does one attach and or glue them to the armour? what do you use and how have you attached? if you got pics that would help a lot tooo. thanks

last few pieces of armour painted, and after re doing a few pieces, they have turned out better then i thought, shinny and glossy reflective and with Dredds help we trimmed and glued the shoulder gaskets together so tonight the decals and the velcro start to get placed and hopefully some help tomorrow with a sewing machine the webbing will be done.

the gaskets are a pain...tape wasnt any better but the plastic clamps seem to be doing the job... will check them tonight.

its now time for the holsters and boxes to be attached. im going to upgrade this to the metal more detailed kit from a fellow FISD maker but for the time being ill just screw this on. the arm gauntlets have been a very annoying build, with 4 abs parts to glue together this will be one of the first parts ill be sourcing a replacement for. the also annoying mod for the chest details then painting it with the spray cans, i think when i get the helmet im going to have to re do the entire thing, im not impressed with the quality some parts have turned out awesomely, but others not so.... and then it was time for the gaskets, the elbows was the easiest to size up. mixing the 2 parts and trying to hold them all in place, this is where i really need another pair of hands!!!!!!!!!!

the binder folder has the pdf instructions from Anovos so im not sure if im allowed to share them or not....

ive done a casting of all the clips because i learnt from Ph2 Rex, these fall off, so now before i every stick them on i cast a complete set in rubber incase the day comes. did the same for my greebs on Veers too

i have no idea... 3 boxes all arrived at my USA forwarding mail center within a week, hate to say it but luck? my helmet should be here in mid november too.

i have been working away since the weekend but really you dont need to see pics of the sanding progress, but last night i took more as i started with attaching the greebs had to work out a way to join the boxes for the belt together, so with the help of Mark on sunday he used his WELD glue to attach these little abs stripes to the inside so i can glue the top box on when the belts ready. Bondo/Bogging the TD piece together, i needed to use a fair amount as the back of the TD was way out of shape i also decided to make a ABS paste to use for the inside joints of my arm gauntlets due to the fact there is such a small piece of ABS as the joiner... next it was time to attach the ab waist boxes onto the armour, i wanted to make sure these dont drop off so i attached and glues a screw to the inside of the box and drilled a hole into the ab plate and secure with glue and nuts. which i also added ABS paste to hold as well. Ab piece all finely sanded and all boxes attached now i opened the greeb bag to find that theres a chest piece that needs to be swapped out, i knew this was the case after Celebration but i was hoping my armour would have been updated to inc this.... well it wasnt, so i had to cut the chest and insert the correct detail. incorrect: Correct detail: used some off cuts of ABS to make a holder for it Thigh greebs and holders attached, this is wear the holster will be attached Next was the clip greebs, i trimmed the abs down a little and sanded the greeb clip so that it sat as close to the curve in the armour as best it could. more greebs to be attached tonight and then on sunday ill begin the painting part. so im about 60% completed now.

thanks dude, ive been busy sanding, so no real need for progress pics of that, but yeah im actually planning to have this done for Supanova Brisbane 27th Nov, that will be my test event since its a con.... and tonight more sanding, and i have a freind popping over to help glue the boxes to the ab plate and the greebs to the armour so ill have updates tomorrow. at this stage, it looks like ill be up to the webbing and fitting next weekend the 7th/8th Nov and the following weekend afterwards will have it all done.

one with all the armour was about 7 kgs the other was about 4kgs with the gaskets armour box about 50cm tall and wide and long. the gaskets was in a small large pizza box style box.

recieved on thursday a nice small box from ANOVOS, number 3 of 4! Soft parts inc the belt, gloves the black pouches and neck seal more glueing of the shins and biceps Spats Butt trimming and yesterday got some really great helpers that come around to help trim and glue parts. Kit, Dave, Sam and Mark and Chopper! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP!!!! Its bogging time! had to work out the way to glue the thermal det and the end caps that are glued to the inside, not like the old school type! seamless biceps seamless back and yoke and all this in just 7 days, so im guessing im about half way, and on friday i had email confirmation from FedEx that helmets should arrive in my USA shopmate warehouse this week.

yeah remove gloss so it can all be painted since most parts will be bogged (bondo) and then sanding it.

last night with help from Deltorn, we managed to sand all the gloss off the armour and start glueing pieces together all sanded, thanks Del! massive help! with Back to the Future Part 2 on.... and Pizzas Shins glueing CLAMPS!!! glueing
