After Lord Vader had me TAD (temporary additional duty) for a few weeks I am back at it. Mighty Tank came through as promised and new shins arrived. I was able to get the helmet together, and like a lot of people the left side gave me a little trouble but I got it together. Today I got the arms sized, trimmed, and ready for coverstrips plus E6000
fist the helmet
now the arms
tomorrow is onto the legs.

Let me help you with that

FYI: I have two left shins as well. Trooper Gear is all over it trying to figure it out.

A TK in Garrison Carida wanted to see some of the improvements in the new AM armor. I thought some more people would like as well.
Left Arm
Right Arm
Chest

I was going to stop at Harbor Freight to see if I could pick up a darker lens.

Tim, you want to take the return edge out of the molded edge on the wrist side as well.
I knew I should have looked again....GGGGRRRRRRRRR
But I did get the ankles done. I will be sizing up forearms and shins tomorrow to get them ready for glue. Oh and fixing the forearms again.

Remove the return edge on forearms

Hmm.... yeah I think it is supposed to be 4 on each side..... I was at an armor party following their instructions. If I need to, I can use the scraps and acetone to make a slurry and fill in that last hole.
It was crazy easy though.
I bet, my way took me about 1 1/2 hours total.

My wife had the same idea, I just didn't have the guts to try it. I think you might have taken to many teeth out, you might want to double check.
-
Congrats Tim!!!!
I can't wait to join the ranks with you.
-
Teeth definitely look good now!
I hope you ordered more than one set of magnets.
Yes sir, I ordered two sets. I figured if I double them up I can glue a couple of things at the same time. That would give me fifteen pairs to work with.

Thank you sir

More dental work

From what I read it is four a side for stunt. I would check with your local garrison to see what they say.

In the reference photos the right arm had 12 dimples. Is that what you have?
-
From what I read you take the edge off the wrist end and the inside edge of the elbow.

My advisor in Garrison Carida asked me to clean the teeth up a little bit more, Smooth them out and square them up.
Sounds like a good idea to me once I had a chance to look at them again.
The dental project will continue.
I also got some magnets and padding ordered from Amazon.
-
Congrats to you and your wife. You are a lucky man!!!
Let me know when you get to sleep again. LOL

Funny the trip they take, mine went to New Stanton a llitle over an hour East of Pittsburgh. Sit there a day then come back to the Burgh to get delivered.
I look forward to watching your build, you are way more ready than I am on getting all of the "other" things you need.

Eventually I would like to paint the inside and add some electronics. So I am planning on using screws to attach the face to the back.

I am hoping to use that at my undersuit for now. Compression ware makes me feel like I can't breathe.
The first smile you will see is my approval shot.
The rotation of the biceps was a bugger for me. I bet I looked at fifty photos to try and get it right.
