Here is the armor I got a few weeks ago. The guy that sold it to me claims it to be a TE but I found out other wise.
Got a chance to start on a few parts over the weekend. Sanded it down with 220. Primed and sanded with 1500. Nice and smooth
I didnt start on the back plate yet. Wanted to find out if this bump should be here or not. Should I grind this out?
Pretty good combo. I liked how these 2 worked out.
I think the paint job came out pretty good. Has a really nice shine to it.
Letting it dry
Once I am all done with the armor I will be using a med. cut cleaner and polish. I used this method on a Vader and Tie helmet a while back. Really brings out a great shine.
The arms and legs I will try and work on next weekend. Just seeing how this stuff fits together.
Should this over lap?
Or should it be flush like this?
Hope to get more done next weekend.
Dang he did a killer job on that. The gloss white is awsome paint. I painted a TE helmet using this paint without primer. I wanted paint chips and cracks of course I want to make sure I use the right primer for the armor. Dont want this chipping.
I am going to pick up a TE set second hand. Over a year ago I ordered one from TE and still waiting. Not to happy about that. Wouldnt mind picking one up from Dan down the road. Really like his stuff.
Looking into getting some armor for halloween. What is going to be a better fit for someone 5 7? Looking into picking up a unfinished TE set from a guy, but not sure. What would fit best between the AP, Laws and TE? Thanks
