  1. That's really weird like you said, think they would have taken the whole box, sounds like someone has damaged it and tried to cover up. Hope you manage to get spares, maybe doopy's will help you out
  2. I started at 17 weeks wait and from last email I would be about 6 weeks away, you can do what I did and ask if you can have a helmet first they sometimes have stock of these. Gives you something to start on, then theres always blaster, belt, neck seal, thermal detinator and so on
  3. Can't wait, would have been awesome to be there in person
  4. If all else fails and you have to go with another maker you can always paint
  5. Have read that some paint all of their armor just to solve this problem, a lot of work and cross fingers there are not runs of flying bugs hanging around while painting
  6. Nice intstructions for the handle, may one day have to take all the best of the builds and try make one page
  7. I was thinking just do drill a couple of holes in the side of the end cap, then fill them will a couple of pieces of plastic dowel, the cut 2 L's in the end of the pipe so the dowel in the cap would slide down then twist to lock, the spring would keep it tight.
  8. Thanks everyone, just thought it may help others, forgot to mention you can also use this heating tip if you need to stick the fixtures to a curved surface. Thought it was about time I gave something back for all the helpful tips I have found here at FISD
  9. Last time I used rubber gloves, dont get the messy fingers then, even those thin food prep gloves may be useful. I find you can rough sand the bondo just before it goes completely hard, clogs up the sandpaper but I use a wire brush to get it off. Dont know if it's any help to you
  10. Welcome to fisd, im on my first build too still waiting for my armor. I'm aiming for centurion, its not thst much more work its mainly the fine details. You can find all the info you need on the forums, but if you cant then there are many willing to help, don't be afraid to ask. Good luck with your build
  11. they are looking great, I hate rubbing bondo, used it a lot on cars, you must have no skin left on the tips of your fingers
  12. Going well good job, can't wait for my first armor bites
