Good luck Kris

Looking forward to the pics and progress

Very cool Lego build of an F-11D

Lots of clamps, magnets and easy peel masking tape, as much as needed. I find clamping the ends, then magnets down the centers then wrap tape around to pull the pieces together if needed. That's why we use E6000, gives you time to setup the pieces correctly before it bonds.

Personally I try not to use too coarse a grit to start off with, I begin with 120 grit then use wet and dry 300, 600 and 1200 to finish and a compound polish to bring back some shine.

Mine came from Grand Zilo Creations on FB. Good luck with the treatment hope all goes well.

Looking forward to the progress

I've noticed the clips on top of the teeth section looks more angular than a D pattern so I'll modify some clips to match. Also found some gromets to paint black and use as drain holes in the bottom of the pouches Clip trimmed And glued Cover plates trimmed Attaching these with velcro to the pouches so adding some pieces of ABS to fill the recess Harness clips trimmed

I don't do FB too much drama, find the forums a better platform and had worked pretty well for me over 3 years and 17 costumes

Thanks guys. As per usual the more you research the more you find, drain holes in the bottoms of the pouches and usable elastic straps. Fabric straps on the main harness and will need make some changes to the clips

Nice work

Congrats trooper and welcome to the legion. Sorry to hear the bad news.

A good tip to stop bleeding http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/23204-tip-on-tube-stripe-painting-with-no-bleed-through/unfortunately photos removed but you will get the idea

Depends were you purchase them from and in what quantity, from $2 upwards

Good luck with the build

Happy 4th of July to you all

Nice work. For those not as handy with tools I have used these before http://www.spiderhillpropworks.com/PVC-Fittings_c_8.html

Looking great

Started on the strapping, have to make do with a few of the pieces I am going to use as there are not a lot of detailed screenshots available, but from what there is there are a lot of differences with the Hot Toy version, will use E6000 on most pieces so I can make changes once more details are available, I doubt it is going to be 100% accurate at this stage. Purchased some clips and locking strips through FISD, need to make some changes as there are some differneces from the screenshots. Just pinning everything for the moment until I make adjustments.

I found this useful for snaps http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28934-howto-make-snaps-hold/?hl=snaps

Yes they are my own, measurements taken from screen shots and Hot Toys figure. They may not be 100% accurate as there aren't many screen shots, but will do me for now until more are posted or found.

Pretty much the same, wouldn't get me out in a crowd unless in armor, I don't wrangle or wear non helmeted costumes, if I don't have a bucket on I just don't go out.

Time to add some more options for my FOTK, time for a vest build. There are a few difference between screen shots and some of the Hot Toys photos which I'll try to replicate Started by enlarging some screen shots on the computer to get rough dimensions and make templates. Transfer template to cardboard Templates of pouch pieces Cut out material Start assembling pouches and add velcro to back pieces to attach Centre pouches Top pouches Add adhesive paper for strength on back sections then sew together Working velcro spacing Velcro added Pouches attached
