  1. That's not the right link, that link is to your legion forum profile, have a read of the first post in this thread as it explains how to find your membership profile
  2. Only difference I find between painted and non painted is the after care, I have soft pouches for all my armor so they don't get chipped or scratched in transport. The occasional crack can happen with painted and non painted but sometimes the painted can chip which is a little harder to fix. There is also some of the details which need work, forearms, yoke to back and abdomen, all need either filling with automotive filler then painted or filled with ABS paste sanded and compound polish. All the first runs of the ANOVOS FOTK's where painted as they also needed joining in quite a few places. Some have built their DN suits with ABS paste and I've seen a few fully painted, there are really pros and cons for both so it's entirely up to each individual how they want to build and finish.
  3. Legs: Thigh front and back 20mm Shin front 20mm, rear 25mm
  4. I use these for snap plate holders, especially when using nylon snap plates, clamp one piece on either side Just watch trimming the ends of the cover strips I noticed this one looked a little round, screen where just trimmed angled
  5. This is my trick for stubborn snap posts A block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around can help when sanding parts to get straight lines/cuts.
  6. There isn't much weird we haven't seen before It's much the same way as using a pencil wood scribe, I'm pretty simple so a ruler and pencil does fine.
  7. I would also suggest looking through our gallery sections if you are thinking of any other supplier, there are a lot of boots which look close at first glance but can have other issues, front stitching, low elastic on sides, large heel and so on. Boots
  8. Hello and welcome aboard and thank you once again for the 3D files
  9. Easier to trim a little more off than try to add it back
  10. Also don't cut into corners, best to drill then cut, the round hole should prevent splitting
  11. Sounds like you have done your research. Detonator also different between the two versions. TFA TLJ has an inner pipe/tube with black areas of the housing cut out Some links for you: Great Anovos build by Ukswrath Also DN build by TheRascalKing Metal holster Rubber gaskets http://www.tandaworkshop.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Thorsson-Associates-Workshop-112076042142986 Resin hand guards There are some small differences in the blaster so check visual references from the movies Looking forward to seeing your build
  12. Any foreign material mixed can change the color of the ABS paste.
  13. I like to use a pencil, mark in a few places then lay some masking tape as a guide. Not sure if you have painted or stickers, if it's stickers you can lift with a knife an pull off, if painted you could use some mineral turpentine and buff any residue with some polish
