And as you can see in those images, the inner tube is considerably smaller than the carriage it sits in.

Is this not your bolt? I just noticed you used the one with the flange perhaps I confused you and if so, my apologies as you had this then another image posted. This as far as we are aware is the correct type to use.

Thank you to everyone who has posted photos for this project. I must say, we are blown away by many of the images submitted, there are some stunning photos and fantastic memories across these 5 pages. We will be moving into the second phase of the project over the next couple of weeks. That will be sorting through over 300 photos, and working out how best we can use what we have. As mentioned in the first post , if your photo/s is/are chosen, you will be contacted via PM by myself or one of the staff to confirm use and grab any other details we may need. Ultimately it would be great to use them all I just cant guarantee we can at this stage. As we get closer to realising the end result, the project shall revealed to all, so keep a lookout for updates. Thanks again everyone -

Don't forget this thread is closing later on today, so get you best troop photos in. -
LMO's have suggested trying a Matt grey with a gloss clear coat to try and emulate the semi shine of the figure and not the Matt finish of the animated character. You could try that on some scrap plastic to see how the finish looks and compare to the figure images. As to the tone of grey, paint swatches are going to be the best way for you to determine the right or closest colour. paint coeds will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and you will no doubt have access to different brands of paint than I do in Australia so this is not as easy as it seems.

If you look at the data sheet for the animated character, you can see they have used a different colour for each of the colours of the costume. The grey areas are indicated in pink so I would suggests it is not black definitely a grey. (the action figures show it to be grey as well) It is a dark tone of grey which seems consistent with the darker grey of the action figures. because we dont have enough information on this character, you need to use the best references you have. I have asked the LMO team for their feedback on this area.

Welcome to FISD Alex! Awesome to read you are here to get some shiny white plastic happening in your future, and I'm sure you will find our TK community ready and willing to help get you to your end goal. This is a huge forum with a massive amount of information so please ask as many questions as you need so we can direct you to the most relevant resources.

Great to see some progress and you had the opportunity to attend an armour party. It sure makes a difference when the help is first hand. Looking forward to seeing your next photos.

What we could do is a gallery and have a link from the list to that. Keeps the list clean and easy to peruse but if you want more, the gallery would have all the images and the makers name as a tag to the image. It's just a thought and only my opinion, others may well disagree Eventually we will also build the reference guides as we have for the R1 and many of our other costumes. Wingnut (Jeff) does a brilliant job of these and we link them to the appropriate sections. I am all for giving our members the best chance and a first off approval not just at basic but also at our higher levels.

Sorry for any confusion, I meant the other way around. Keep the list simple, titles highlighted in colour and links supplied, so the list is quick to read/reference. The bulked out version is good but very large. My thoughts were around quick reference and a streamlined approach. Don't get me wrong, I love the images in he R1 list, I would just like to build a sub forum for that newer section and have an easy list to fall under that. This is part of the FOTK list look. As you can see we have COO (Country of Origin) some descriptors which indeed could be fleshed out a little more, what parts they supply under headings and links to there platform and/or email addresses.
