Awesome work!

Congrats on this build. I see you're very active in the FB Anovos page and wanted to see your shim work on the abs and kidney. Good job!

Congrats Trooper!!!

Awesome work!

Congratulations on EIB! Come see me when you're ready for the Centurion upgrades.

Relax Nam! You can do this!

Great start man!

Crazy idea time. I'm going to see if I can use the extra portion of part 6E to help reinforce the yoke. Here i'm going to flat the extra area and integrate it to the yoke. Just a crazy idea to see if it works. I'm using a heat gun and flatting it out.

Yesterday, StarFox2010 and I hung out and worked on some armor pieces. Here's the start of my yoke assembly. Pencil marked my cut areas and used my utility knife and cutter. Drill, cut, drill, cut . . . I love my belt sander! Hand sanding to a clean finished look and then sanding out / prep the whole armor for gluing and paint. More cut outs.

I applied AS into the gap areas of my boxes. Used an exacto knife to remove it and allowed the box to dry overnight. In this case, I didn't want to let Box # 5 to stick to the armor plate. Another example of AS work Not shown: After 48 hours of dry time, I sanded down the boxes and shims with a palm sander.

Apoxie Sculpt Demonstration Since 2014, I have been using Apoxie Sculpt as my favorite filler. Its safe to use indoors and non-toxic compound to work with. Unlike bondo, you have about two hours to work it before it turns into a rock. Please be sure to read the manufacturer's directions and practice with it before using on your armor. There are lots of other methods to fill in the shim gaps or any gaps, but this is just a personal preference. Be sure to work the compound for about 15 minutes before applying to your armor. You're going to ensure the 50/50 putty is properly mixed. I use a spray bottle of faucet water to moisten it up and give me toothpaste like compound. Here's a trick. I'm using an old cheese spreader to apply AS into the shim gaps. Go slow and work it into the gaps. Don't rush. Take your time. Once you're done, let it hang out overnight. In this case, I left it alone for couple days. Washing your tools: I just used warm water, dishwashing soap, and an old dish scrubber.

Inside look of the bolt and nut assembly. Hacking off the unwanted thread portion of the bolts. I went back and sanded it down with a sander.

The month of June has been busy with birthdays, graduations, and family gatherings. Not to mention the new "honey-to-do" list for the summer. I was able to sneak a few days of work this month. Let's continue where we left off. Boxes # 1 and # 7 Update Since i'm adding shims to my armor, I discovered that Boxes # 1 and # 7 will not have the best fit because of the shims. I will be working more apoxie sculpt into Boxes # 1 and # 7 to give it a clean look and they will be permanently attached. Please note I will be creating seam lines using some clay tools that I picked up from Amazon. This step will be shared later in the build. Side angle look of the box at the shim area. This will get apoxy sculpt down to the armor.

Just keep up the good work! Concentrate *Yoda voice *

Keep up the good work!!!

Dude.... just bring your armor to the automotive shop and rock out with a full paint job!

Ah..... Superbee has a new recruit Hello RLH2515, most people will pick up an E11 blaster on the FISD forums. You can either pick up a resin kit to build from scratch or a rubber ANH blaster and convert it to ESB. My suggestion would be to visit the forums for these kits and check in regularly to see if someone is selling a finished ESB blaster. You can also ask the forum for anyone will to sell their ESB blaster. Walter

Hello Kai, 1. Please go ahead and remove the return edge. You don't need them. 2. Use a dremel (or your cutting tool) to remove the marked areas and blend it into the rest of the forearms. This will give you comfort to swing your arms around. Hope this helps!

Just checking in my friend... Looking good and getting close to the finish line.

Excellent build! Congrats!

Just checking in Rick!

Very nice holders! I like it!
