    Good call everyone- yep the tube stripe fail.  I even double checked ref pics for the first one and was so proud of myself I got over confident on the rt.......

     

    1st coat only on the ears, but good catch too.   Getting the outline and stripe today.  Spycee sent me some sticker tips Mark gave him and Mark sent me a video link.  2nd go round should have em looking like a champ- thanks everyone!

     

    Looks like a had my first glitch for this mission.

     

    It was getting late Andrew, I sure was thinking about hitting you up, appreciate the offer!  

     

    I woke up early and started on the shims for the kidney and separated the butt plate.  So after gluing these, it looks like I abut another ABS to the kidney, then meld the gap with the ABS paste and sand.  pDVxPzt.jpg

    The brown box arrived today!  Time to add to the 501 collection with an AP trimmed kit.  I had been getting ready with a completed blaster, along with getting trooperbay paint, lens, s trim, mic tips, I painted some shoes, got an amp, neck seal and snaps from some forum members, just got the order in on a vaderdave garter, so it was great to get started!  

     

    Got the helmet close to being done;  no inside padding yet and still need some 2nd layers of paint and the cleanup of the edges.  The stickers were a nightmare!  I tried a few times but kept getting bubbles and wrinkles.  Hand painting all of these areas is the first upgrade on my list.  

     

    I did a quick dry run on the ab and kidney plate.  There is an almost 2 inch gap between them;  I would have to lose about 15 lbs to get them to meet.  Is this a big deal at all to have this gap?  I took a pic of the spacing.  

     

    It's going to be a fun next couple of months!

  12. E11 wires- do these look OK?

    Thanks again everyone;  found some thinner wire,  re-sanded, used flat black and did some light weathering.  Sprayed some clear coat on the handle, might do another coat or two to shine it up a bit more.  Great call by the group;  no comparison, the flat looks so much better than that shiny thing I started with!

    Hi everyone;  waiting on the armor and doing what I can in the meantime.  I saw the thread about the wires on the E-11;  do these look OK?  Have not glued them in yet and I still have a lot of sanding and painting and weathering to do, but wanted to check with everyone before I cemented these in.  I appreciate the feedback!
