Cross fingers

Try getting on to your local GML, I think I was lucky with mine, it was approved over night, hope you get it soon .

It's hard when you are so excited and all you want is to see that, Yes, you stalk your emails, the forums and evey new post, LOL, hope it's not too long away. Remember deep breaths and if that doesn't work then a large beverage of the brain dulling type, fingers crossed

I know what you mean, I am now waiting on Centurion approval and the suspense is killing me. Hope it's not too much longer for the both of us, we may be able to get sleep again lol

Very nice indeed

Well the world didn't end so I thought I would find some more accurate screws for my TD

I have seen some who still like to paint their lids and try to go for a real screen accurate build, chips and all. Good luck what you decide

I managed to squeeze in #291 EIB

OMG I hope I get spproval before the world ends, just heard on the radio it's going to end at 7.11 pm local Perth time today. At least i got to live my dream and become a TK before i die lol

Sounds great I do like a bit of lens action . I have been trying to find a company here that would make aluminium folding stocks, they are just too much work to make by hand. Not had much luck but then Perth is not exactly huge.

Sounds verry cool, any plans on making the scopes, if so could recess both ends slightly to add glass, perspex, magnifier etc

I am pretty sure you will be fine. Also sometimes you can cheat a bit with a little heat to make oval pieces into round, or vice versa. Good luck your going well

Some questions should be sent as a pm

Don't get too down, happens to all of us at some time or another. I have the 3am curse at the moment just can't get any sleep. Any chance of a photo, may have a fix in mind Too late, Jeremy beat me too it LOL

Make sure you glue one side at a time, I did find that the strips are angle out so I had to apply some heat to get them to lay flat, had to do the same for my calves as the velcro was hardly touching in places. Try some heat on some scraps first, get a bit of practice then attack that forearm

Thanks Gary, fingers are crossed

I also glued one side of each piece at a time, slow going but worth it in the end. Heat does work but test on some scraps first, there is a point where you can go too far and it will just spread like butter, ok maybe not tha bad but it does get soft. I had great succes with heating and squashing in the forearms a little. Depending where the mis-cut is you may be ok, you will have the cover strips, hope that is enough to cover what is wrong, let us see a photo. The maganets I use a very strong and work well, they are 3/4 inch, downfall is when you get a finger stuck between too. Don't stress we all make little mistakes along the way, good luck

Thanks Eric

Coming along nicely, looks like you may have left a bit too much material on your outer cover buttons on the belt, they look bigger than the centre one. Keep up the good work

Very cool armor collection there keep up the good work

Terror fixed, think I need glasses, or less alcohol

Having problems between my celebrating drinks of alcohol and photobucket, more pics added

Thanks Michael, well I did try to line up a few bits for a hero conversion but they have fallen behind and you know I will get bored again so blaster builds may well be in the near future LOL

You are far too kind Charles, with all the threads, info and helpful people around here it was just a pleasure to build my armor. Hope I can give back as much as what I have learnt, troopers helping troopers. Now where are those blaster plans again LMAO

Thank you Charles, I am trying to practice my dancing in armor
