  2. Bubble Butt

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    Not sure if this will make sense, i'm really not that "big" i have an AP kit which i'm still putting together and when i separated the kidney and butt piece, the butt piece sticks out a lot and kinda flares out. Needless to say i have a bubble butt...lol, how can i make it more attached to my body? Should i make the nylon straps attached tighter or closer to the kidney piece? I have a heat gun but don't want to warp the sides of the butt piece if i bend in more towards by behind. Any thoughts/suggestions? I might need to post pics...Before i separated the two pieces, granted if fit my behind really well, now that it's separted it doesn't bend out, but sticks out when i wear it...what to do?

  4. Split Rivets

    thanks for the advice everyone, so can i should ask, are pop rivets on ab and kidney EIB approved? Do most prefer snap rivets on the ab/kidney plate for durability? I'm assuming brads are EIB approved so i guess i should add snaps inside while the brads are merely for looks, if that makes sense. :huh:

    Another noob question everyone, i've checked Joanne's, Home Depot, Ace, Lowe's, where can i find split rivet for the ab and kidney parts? Should i order online from some site? Do people have regular pop rivets on there armor? Are split rivets the only rivets on the whole armor found on the ab and kidney parts, while the rest of the armor can compose of pop rivets? Any advice is very helpful!

    hope this isn't a silly question but the extra strips of abs in the AP kit, do i cut the finishing strips from those to go ANH armor? Does anyone have a guide of measurements for the finishing strips? Another question, does it matter which part overlaps one another, in other words, do you glue left pieces over right pieces or the other way around?

    Hello everyone, i've been on the boards a little while now, mainly as a TX, but now soon to be a TK. I'm expecting my AP armor here tomorrow and wanted some advice. I know there's a lot of great build threads here, but i've got some questions. Based on your experience, what tools do you use when trimmming? I know everyone has a different opinion on how to hold their armor together, for example, best glue/adhesive, what do you prefer? Best method, snaps, velco, both? I worked on my TX build using an FX kit, but since trimming is involved for accurate armor i know i've got a lot of work cut out for me. Any advice would be appreciated and i hope to join the ranks of Elite status. Thanks for any comments/tips you can provide.

    Hi, being married isn't cheap lol, so some things gotta go, up for sale is my Xbox 360 Elite, which works totally fine despite it being years old and out of warranty! The only catch is, it's out of warranty, and the 120GB hard drive isn't working, so it will come provided with a 20GB white hard drive. This will come with an HDMI cable, black headset, black wireless controller with rechargable battery, HDMI A/V cable, Ethernet cable. It comes with everything it originally came minus the 120GB hard drive but will come with a 20GB white hard drive! My loss is definitely your gain, please help me out in this time of need! Asking for $200+shipping willing to negotiate but please be realistic! Thanks a lot!

    FS: My scratchbuilt E-11

    It arrived today (7:45 this morning to be precise). Needless to say work today was torture knowing it was sitting on my doorstep. I have to say, NICE WORK! It was in excellent shape, with the only exception being the grip had come off. No biggie, I'd have to have taken it off anyway to put a switch in it anyway. Did you attach the trigger, or did it come that way? Eventually I'd like a blastercore in there, but for the immediate future a the elecs from a gutted hasbro will work. Also, is the scope rail part of the scope, or is it two separate pieces? I'll need to take that off to mount the real one when it arrives. I didn't realize the scopes were so small. I'll be getting the rest of the parts this weekend, hopefully. Look for a build report in the blasters section when it's done.

     

    Crap. Now I need to build a new holster. I didn't realize the hasbro was so much smaller.

     

    Hey Tom, sorry about the grip, i thought i packed it well, guess the E6000 didn't hold it too well! The trigger was glued on since it's a resin kit from Doopydoo's! I originally wanted to make it a working trigger but this was my first and it was pretty much a prototype! As for the scope rail, the scope it attached since it's a Stomper one and some of the better E-11's are strictly rubber, in case it falls, though i'm sure it's possible to cut the scope off, or use he aluminum sheets for the rail! Glad you like it, i look forward to seeing your WIP and pics of it! Thanks for everything man!
