  1. Looks great, gotta love those 'nocs :) BTW there's a rear sight on shapeways that fits into the same spot, but the placement is actually like 2mm from the cap, much further back. Might want to fill the hole with g.s. and find a longer rail. Fun read!

  2. Resurrecting this thread because I was buying plastidip spray and thought of using it on the doopy resin t-tracks to give them a more accurate texture than just paint can offer. Idk about durability first-hand, but it's supposed to be tough enough for truck beds etc. so it should be fine. I'm also not sure just how much of the metal I'll be able to use, but I want to use everything I have. Still deciding between a) debrazing the parts kit and B) boring room for the whole cut parts in the doopy tube. So many WIPs!

  3. Ears sit differently after touch ups, but light sanding should be fine, especially if you keep checking the fit every few seconds. Probably easier to paint/coat it when it's disassembled, then get your pads and electronics in there after. <br><br>

    So far I've only trimmed my forearms. I tried using tin shears and found them to be total overkill for this particular kit. I'll certainly use them for the straight cuts on my 2mm ATA though. Lexan scissors are more than sufficient for ANOVOS and gave me clean cuts, even using straight ones for the curves since the plastic is so flexible. A few photos incoming, nothing too exceptional tho :)

  4. Feel free to ask questions, but it might be easier (and faster) for you to just google stuff that isn't necessarily specific to stormtroopers (like plastidip). And if it is about TK stuff, try including "whitearmor.net" in your query (this site's search function doesn't work). Then make a post if you can't find the answer. I've never used plastidip myself or else I'd tell you what to do :) Trimming begins tomorrow morning! Exciting business!
