anyone got experience of Spraying/painting ABS... how did they get on? Paint Cracks as the armour flexes? worth doing? What type of paint etc.. As I have a troop in two weeks, Armour is currently under a UV lamp with Trooper bay whitening Solution, which has/does work, but as mentioned at this stage I`m either going to retire the Kit or go with a brand new kit and start again,... hence my interest in painting,, As currently I`m building a Shoretrooper and that is Taking up a lot of my time,.. especially coming into the Winter colder shorter nights, I Dont want to be working on two kits... Cheers

Hi Folks,, My TM Hero Kit is Now 9 years old,, plenty of Troops later and sun damage has really started to effect it,..Just took my kit out of the attic where its been in its kit box for a couple of months, and while I have been doing the Kit whiting from TrooperBay.. as I`m in Ireland its expensive to get shipped from the US, I`m looking into possibly retiring the Kit completely or going with a brand new Kit, Or keeping my Current TM Kit and repainting it with Gloss White,.,. Anyone got experience of this? Advise? Cheers Rob

Thanks Guys,, Thanks for Confirming that for me.. More Research for me I think ..

Thanks Darren.. I have completed but Sold on my older Jimmi`s Kit, Painting the bucket was one of the most enjoyable parts of the Build for me,, so for me its more so getting the paint matched up.. and I suppose also,, Which would be an easier build ( with the Seams etc on the TLJ build compared to the TFA build,, as Mentioned I have the TFA bucket already.. hmmm,, but would need to get a TLJ Bucket which Adds to costs,,,

hi foks With help (thanks Daniel) looks like Im about to order my FOTK from KB props.. Anyone know if they do only TFA and Or TLJ? which would be Easier to assemble? (seams etc) , Painting,, for TFA, I have a Standard line Anovos bucket, Anyone know a ready paint Can to use? to Match.. Any other general advise? Thanks R

Thanks Daniel,, Will give them a Shout.. Cheers R

Thanks.. am thinking the same... I'm thinking belt loops made with 25mm black nylon.. how or what are you thinking with velcro... to keep the belt against the cod and butt plates? or.. wish the belts where a bit easier.. lol... I have ordered a load of Chicago screws and was thinking of going that route.... but how to attach them through the belt and onto the boxes??? Hrmm Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Any update on what you plan to do with the belt?? I'm in the same position as yourself and about to start but unsure how/what to do Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Am about to attach everything to my belt over the weekend...so will be very interested to find out... was going to go with Chicago screws (on Jim's armour so the boxes are harder) but recently seen a loop method using nylon around the belt... I know the belt "buckle" is on the left hip covered by one of the pouches... but in relation to distances be the boxes.. is there a set rule? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
