About to add the drain holes but looks like they are also present on the outer pouches, bit hard to make out, seems to be two of them and smaller than the centre pouches, I may have to leave these until I can find a better reference.

Happy Anniversary FISD

Nice work, came out well

Drain eyelets and adjusting clips painted Buckles attached to adjuster straps Elastic loops attached, straps and pouches fitted

I usually give the inside a clean the day after a troop to get rid of sweat and give the outside a good polish, get rid of any marks and scratches, amazing how many colours you can find.

Have cut one tooth from the adjusting strap and also trimmed an angle on to the locking piece of the clip, will hold in position better Velcro glued to inside of cover plates Paint applied

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.
