[Gus' AM ESB Build]

Will do, ordered them from Trooperbay, NE ESB.

Yup, just a few seconds with the heat gun and then bent it gently.

Started on my right shin, now I just need to figure out how to attach the velcro on the inside so the outside decorative cover strip sits flat.

 

 

 

 

[Gus' AM ESB Build]

Biceps and forearms trimmed to the best of my ability and glued. Zap a Gap is some potent stuff.

The ears were not fun. went a little dremel crazy on the left one and will likely use some abs paste to cover up some gap in the future. Here are some photos as requested.

Then we got some paint thrown on there (buy good brushes, not cheap testor ones, makes life easier)

 

 

 

 

 

and now some more, just need to install new lens from Trooperbay that just came in, reinforce the mic tips with a bigger washer in the back and install the screen in the frown. Also have to install foam liner and Echo's fan system..

 

[Gus' AM ESB Build]

Started to with forearms but fear of cutting made that come to a screaching halt after a few hours of staring at them so I moved over to the bucket. 

 

Started just being held with tape.

 

 

 

 

Then Glued(e6000) the back parts and let dry overnight (going to be using zap a gap and kicker for remaining parts) 

 

 

 

Then I got screw happy

[Gus' AM ESB Build]

So the exciting and slightly terrifying process of building my armor has begun. 

[Ricks AM Armor]

Question. I am also part of the newbs who got their AM this week. Frankly atleast you have started. I am just staring at everything with a confused look. I am doing ESB and was looking at the frown. Looks like you cut out 10 teeth, not 6 or 8. I was able to cut them all out like you and then I read the CRL for the 900th time.CRL indicates 6 Hero, 8 Stunt and 6 or 8 ESB, Anyone know if we can just do all 10?
