  1. I ordered one but am edging ever closer to cancelling it after all the changes and doubts over shipping times
  2. So I had 90 minutes today, the last for four weeks as i head to England tomorrow. Firefighting a little here but did what I could. First up, bisceps sanded and glued inner strips. Those magnets are great once set but I find them hard to use. I ran out but had lots of dollar store clamps, really like them. Next I glued the shoulder snaps to the chest piece. Had a few moments left so went for a quick job and set snaps onto the butt. And thats it for a month. Sad as I felt I was moving forward, but theres my "work bedroom" waiting my return.
  3. Look up MechaPumpkins build thread. Yesterday he posted full instructions on how to do just this!
  4. Had a spare hour so made snap plates with 1.5" poly web and Tandy snaps. Then final trimming and sanding of the torso pieces, and split the butt/kidney.
  5. Vocoder painted, at the second attempt - DONT do this without pencilling in the area first wouldve saved me stripping and repeating! Lenses, S trim and mouth mesh in place. Still cant find helmet padding I like so that search continues. All done! Quite proud of myself
  6. So jealous. Great work. Ive not updated my threaf in ages as a pic of random abs in a box doesnt help!
  7. Ah sorry I thought you meant the main strap! Yeah the narrow bit can be purchased at walmart too!!
  8. I saw this in my local store. Sounded fantastic. If its gutable id get this for certain. Good price too
  9. Went to an armour party today. Met some great new people and saw amazing ideas. Inspired I couldnt go to bed without doing something, but what? A "short" mess with this ended with lenses, hovis and ahem... DaveM assisted details! Went to sleep rather proud of myself! Teeth and Vocoder tonight????
  10. Belt finished!!! Glued the tabs with clear silicone RTV Nice to have something full to try on and keep the enthusiasm going. (Mirror image spotters - blaster IS on my left) Weathered the scope and added the decals. Whats next??? Chest and back i think!
  11. Belt today. Started by researching and measuring the belt to ab snap placement. Next was to rivet the ABS to the Canvas belt, thanks to TKittell for his great belt! Then Darmans holster goes on Finally, the drop boxes. Sadly called into work so ill save these cover plates for next time. Not sure how ill glue them as very little edge, sand flat??
  12. Eyes today, two hours with the Exacto and sand paper. Im biased but Im actually quite proud of this ... Next up and its the ears., i hate the ears. Still not fully happy but im stopping now to see what this weekends armour party brings. Ive noticed how hot it is in there so Ive changed plans and WILL be getting a fan. Tomorrow??? Build and fasten the belt
  13. Sorry Vern, do you mean it needs more or has more off the top on the right tooth? thanks
  14. Used my key file set and think im happy with the teeth.
  15. Happy dance, I got little over half an hour today so I started by sealing up the dropboxes and adding elastics. Then while my wife my dinner I decided to dive on in and attack the bucket. First cut and felt faint... So my time ended but Im slowly moving forward, masses still do go.
  16. Decided to spray the interior of the helmet flat black now to save too much masking once its trimmed.
  17. Thank you for, in my opinion, the best AP build thread. It's my bible right now as I struggle along! Is there anything you would change or do differently if you built again? Cheers
  18. Found a whole hour today to work!!!! So I glued the panel on the TD I assembled KWdesigns excellent inner dropboxes And i trimmed my belt. That was quite tricky as its almost impossible to scribe a line to trim to!!
  19. Also just enough time to finish respraying the E11. Detailing and weathering to come.
