Great Armor, great pictures! Congratulations

I know I already said that before but that’s awesome work. Congrats to your work! I love it!

Congratulations trooper!

Congratulations brother!

Your power cylinders are looking absolutely great! Well done!

Congrats to your BBB day! Enjoy the building time.

Hey Great work with the capacitors. Shape and size are perfect. The only thing that you should think about is the diameter of the wires of your caps and resistors. They are much to big. It will be hard to make the front connection. A smaller wire makes the job much easier. 0.7mm (1/36“) is the diameter of the Original ones. Here some pictures to show the difference. Cheers Christian

Hi, the rivets are ok for basic approval. For Expert Infantry or Centurion you need to change two things: - no rivets are allowed at the sniper knee. - the rivets for the Ammo Belt need to be solid headed and no Pop-rivets. Cheers Christian

Well to be honest, it’s a detail you can hardly see once the cylinders are complete. But great to know it’s there, though.

Well done Andrew. I agree with the suggestions about the strapping. But that’s not a big deal.

Good work so far! My tip for the inner cylinders: I mixed some fine sand into the paint to imitate the ceramic look.

Great work!

Great build! I especially like the way you illuminated the scope.

Wow, the trailer is looking great! I’m looking forward for the complete film!

Great build! I especially like the comparison with the RS Blaster and I want to agree that your Blaster is the better one!

Woohoo That’s a great looking armor! Great work!

The only cooling I ever needed is one in the helmet for fresh air support. If your armor is not too close-fitting every light breeze will go through your armor and effectively cool you down.

There is no finish you can damage or remove. It is all simple ABS. I would be careful while wet sanding the damaged area because everything you sand needs to be polished afterwards. Once you use the level 3 polish it makes sense to include the surrounding area to remove any borders.

If you start polishing the ABS, the paint will come off naturally. You can use Novus 123 polish. It is well known here for great results. You get three bottles with polishing Fluid to go from rough to mirror like shine. Oh, I didn’t type quick enough.

Hi Dan, great work with the frown. Looking great now! About your Acetone accident: if the main part of the damage is hidden by the belt it is not that bad. Did you try to polish the area to make it shine again? Might look better than painting. Cheers Christian

Copy that.

I helped Mark to achieve EI and Centurion a while ago. Working on his brothers armor now.

I don’t think it is a disqualifier for Centurion. The CRL don’t mention it. But the original helmets had mostly angular holes:

Congratulations for your BBB! Your patience will be very helpful for the building process. I would refine the cutouts of the teeth a little bit. The ones Anovos made have very rounded corners. I guess that are the „arches“ you mentioned. I would make them more angular: You can do that with key-files or a modeling scalpel. But be careful with the knife! The ABS is VERY thin there.
