Clamps

Spa day here at Camp Clamps! gaskets and armour gets a wash, rinse and dry. Will be a week of gluing each night after work.

Had a great day with the Canadian Garrison Build Crew. We did cleanup sanding and shaping of MOST pieces. Here is what is left to cleanup. Later in the evening I cutout the chocolate floor mats (I mean gaskets) Finally I began deconstructing the Rebels E11. Also seen is the Dollarama toy gun scope I'll use to replace existing. Some cutting and changing and filling and it will be good enough until the EvilBoy Blasters are ready. Next up is washing and gluing limbs and gaskets.

This thread is so boring it hurts... no wait, that is my hand from trying to trim all 68+ pieces of plastic for this crazy kit. GOOD NEWS, the major trimming is complete. time to move to the fine trimming and sanding. I have some experienced helping hands coming by tomorrow, with he goal of having the limbs ready to glue, maybe the torso... Here are my instruments of destruction: Here is the trimmed plastic: Here are the trimmings:

Alrighty. No Major news here. But an update none the less: Still taking care of main trimming of all parts. What's left to trim - thighs and shins. What's trimmed - everything else. Not bothering keeping track of man hours. It just doesn't matter to me. All that matters is I hit my date of Sept 3 debut.

Alrighty, let's get on with it. Step 1: Open a Beer Step 2: Open Box, inventory parts.... everything seems to be in order, no orange peeling parts, no cracks or overtrims I can see. Drop everything into 50G stanley bin, close and eat dinner. Step 3: walk past bin, work on computer. Step 4: open box and peek in side Step 5: Crack another beer Step 6: open box and label inside of all parts on the inside (in case sticker info gets lost). repack bin Step 7: Procrastinate Step 8: Grab Pencil and trace trim lines on 1/2 the kit. All parts marked except the limbs. Step 9: Pop the TFA Cherry and trim one piece. THE COD! Holy Fudge that plastic was thick. My Lexan scissors struggled immensely. I went for the score and snap with my trusty cutting' blade. If you are expecting fast progress, look elsewhere, this is gonna be slow. The kit will be completed and ready to debut at Fan Expo Canada (Toronto) the weekend of September 3-6.

Well, the long wait watching the boxes crawl across the continent is finally over. The first two brown boxes have arrived. My work day is now ruined as I will have to wonder what kind of sick mess I got myself into all day long before I can open the boxes. Not sure if I am more excited to see the plastic or catch a buzz off of the Chocolate Floor Matt Toxins!! ok, so here are the required photos of the brown boxes: More to follow as I feel like it. I doubt I will document step by step, but you never know.

Can you share photos of your install? It might help others decide if this solution is right for their bucket.

Dan, you got JACK'd!

if you "fake" the button and place magnetic switches behind and magnet in the glove, then the accidental pressed should be drastically reduced, if not eliminated and you don;t have to mod the armour (too much)

Congrats Dan!! Representing the Garrison with an excellent AP build! So proud!

So the fix is that you have to cut into the chest to remove old detail and replace with this new formed (resin?) insert? edit: PS, for clarity, that is a piece that came in the box with your (Beta) kit?

Congrats Pigtails! Next CG Centurion is coming soon!!

Until there is enough reference on the Tactical Vest and side arm, we should table that addition/discussion. I am sure there will be plenty of changes after subsequent trailers and the movie release to add this in if desired.

FYI for the record. He has been in touch with the Canadian Garrison. He was added, by me, to our potential recruit private FB page back in October. Editing this post as I found a more up to date ask which did not get a proper reply. We'll reach out locally.

Pat. Send me a PM.

At least the toilets are now clean!

I didn't really give him a choice. HE was pretty much told to get his butt out to NFCC to help out! Soooo it's on me that he has not already gotten the EIB off the ground until today.

Several threads with a variety of info, Search on the site is wonky, so here are a couple google links: ----------

Danny and Jack -> what a team!

Be sure to check in with your Garrison Command to see what their thoughts are on supplemental markings at troops of all kinds.

This is correct, they are both the Disney blasters (with stun setting option) custom painted as a stand by until proper TFA E-11s are produced.

Barclay ^^^ was the closest I saw in the thread

The ribbed backing tab to hold the two ends in place is a great idea and also keeps the ridges aligned while glue sets. Keep up the sharing, all these great ideas are very helpful for those of us in the Bravo group.
