Links within emails? I noticed a buddy sent some links to youtube videos, but hotmail isn't giving the ability to watch through hotmail like it normally does...
-
Hotmail is my main email. I have a link saved that I usually use and have had no problems with that. I went ahead and tried going to MSN and hitting the Hotmail link from there and also had no issues. Not sure what is causing your issues, but maybe you're holding your mouth wrong...

Some good work here. I'm interested in how the belt is working for you. I was considering taking a hobby iron to mine to flatten it out, rivet the snaps to the belt, then put rivet covers on, but this may work even better.

D'oh! I forgot all about this...

I got a little tired of only having 1/4 of my workbench to use so I decided to clean the shop. I found the missing E-6000. Now I have plenty, Hopefully I can get some work done.

Got my replacement split rivets today. The solid part of the shaft was still a little long for my taste but I went with them.
Also got my TD in from Jesse, and it looks great! Here is a comparison with the RT-Mod one. (The RT-Mod has not been glued or painted yet.) Jesse's is in the back.
Camera gave out on me, so I don't have pics of the work I put into snaps today. I have been gluing more snap plates down. I also trimmed about 5mm from the front of a forearm, to see if I can fit my hand in and out without velcroing one side. Seems to work. Now to see what's up with the camera.

Good luck, and thank you for your service!

I don't think most fans would be able to tell. If you want to mix and match from different movies, why not?

Was it a filbert brush? A filbert brush is a flat, oval brush.

Decided to try the taper on a forearm today. I tried to widen the wrist opening by not trimming as much at that end and tapered the cut back to reduce the diameter at the elbow end. Once the first side cures I'll try taping the other before I close it and see if it is going to work. If not, I guess it will be velcro for me.
I installed the snap on the right side of the ab.
And glued a couple more snap plates.
More as I get a chance. Let me know if you have any feedback. This is my first build and welcome any help.
Well the Chicago screws were about 11 mm and the split rivets I had were either 10 mm (plus too long) or only 6 mm, so I guess I'll be looking for some.

Congrats! You can look at other threads in the meantime to get an idea of how you want to put yours together. That will tell you what tools/supplies you should start picking up.

What size are your side rivets, BTW? I'm currently obsessing over mine and think I may have gone too large.

Gotta love that brown box! Good luck and take plenty of pics!

Decided to change gears a little and do a little work on the midsection. I decided I was going to install the split rivets in the ab/kidney plate and start glueing snap plates. I initially drew out where I was going to place the rivets. (Sorry no pics for this, the marks didn't show on the photos.) I drilled the holes for the rivets.
I put the rivet through and put a washer on it. When I set the rivet, I found the split did not go far enough down, and there was way too much slack in the rivet. They were too long! I had to cut the rivet off. I had smaller ones, but looked too small. I did have some Chicago screws so I tried them.
Do they look too large? Keep in mind, I will be painting them white. I also started glueing some of the snap plates in place.
I had family come over so I didn't get very far today. Let me know what you think of the size of the Chicago screws. I would rather change them now than later.

I bookmarked your album so I can refer to it during my build.

Greeting from the other end of the Commonwealth! There are lots of great build threads here that you can learn from, and of course we will want to follow you through yours. Remember to takes lots of pictures. Welcome aboard!
-
Looking good. Hopefully I can pic up some tips from this thread. Looking forward to the completed pics!
-
I think I'll make sure all of the return edge has been removed at the wrist, and do a slight taper on the trimming for the butt-joints. I hope to keep the wrist opening large enough that I won't have to velcro one seam. We woke up to about 4 inches of snow today, but tomorrow is supposed to be back in the 50s. Hopefully, more shop time tomorrow...
-
Looking good! How did you determine where to place the side rivets? Is there a set distance from the edge?
-
Looks great!

Have you tried scuffing them up with a green scouring pad or some sandpaper? That will give the primer a little something extra to bite on to.
