  1. Félicitations pour ton armure! Je suis un peu jaloux pour être franc ;-) Bon travail, ton armure me semble être très bien assemblée! Je suis loin d'être un expert, mais à mon avis, les avant-bras sont un peu trop haut et les cuisses un peu trop basses. Ce sont des ajustements, mais je crois que le look serait plus réussi comme ça! Bonne chance pour ton application
  2. I agree with Charles, I won't paint them until later but they look and feel great out of the box! Probably one of the best options out there.
  3. Thanks! It means a lot coming from you Your build is fantastic and inspired me to push the envelope a little
  4. Thanks! I came to me after I realised how awful in was with an hacksaw [emoji14]
  5. Another update, I didn't build anything, but I bought something : For those of you, like me, who live in an apartment or don't have a workshop, it's a portable vise that can be attached to any table. It's working great so far! I don't see it lasting decades but for small projects, it's great! Here's a link : http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Hand-Tools-STHT83179-Quick/dp/B00MJYUJNS Hope it helps you guys
  6. Sooo... Once again, huge thanks to Thrawn's Guard, I found this : As it turns out, not only is there a Games Workshop near me, but there is a card game store in my neighborhood that carry Game Workshop's products and they had green stuff!(I also like that it's really called green stuff [emoji14]) Also, my mother-in-law called, so I knew I had half an hour to kill while she and my gf talked, so I did a few things. First, I Dremeled the folding stock : Then, I drilled the front of the scope to fit the lense casing : It's very rough, I'm starting to think I should be more patient with the Dremel. BUUUUT, now that I have green stuff, I know I can fix these in no time!!! Yay!!!! This is so much fun
  7. I must have walked by that store at least 50 times, it never occurred to me they'd have that! Thanks man!!!
  8. Nice!!! There's no such thing as too many DD build threads!!! Right?
  9. So, update time! There is light at the end of the... Uh, scope? That's right, hollowed all the way through! Pictures or it didn't happen : So, it's very, VERY rough... Drilling without a bench vise, while you're sick turns out to be maybe not the best idea ever! Who would've thought, eh?!? So, with that in mind, I will try to clean it up with my Dremel and some putty. The twist though, is I don't have any green stuff and I can't find any in my area. Any substitutes you guys know about? I've tried that stuff on a previous build and I wasn't impressed : http://m.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-4-oz-Epoxy-Putty-31270/100344357 I was thinking of using something like this http://m.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/j-b-weld-plastic-weld-repair-epoxy-putty-0383820p.html Thoughts?
  10. That sucks Good things come to those who wait though! But I know how you feel, ordering online has its downsides...
  11. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there is anything in that price range that comes fully built... Gotta work for it at that price! And then, even the Anovos kit at 350$ costs a lot more than 600$ once you add blaster, boots, electronics and tools needed! Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk
  12. The waiting game is the worst. Worth it though!!! The moment you open the box, you kinda feel like a kid again. [emoji1]
  13. Thanks Charles! I have to say, it's a good thing I have done a costume or two over the years, I'm more confident now then I used to. I really like the fact that whatever I may want to do, there a pretty good chance someone's done it already and has made a thread about it. I've done a bit more work on the scope today, nothing fancy but I've hollowed most of it... Pictures to come!
  14. Thanks I don't know yet about the prisms, I hadn't considered it until I saw your build. I will look at your build for reference but my biggest fear is to bite more than I can chew... I keep going back and forth in my mind about this and putting electronics in it... So many options and such limited skills Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk
  15. Sooooooo... After looking at my DD's full resin kit for a few weeks, I finally got down to starting to work on it! Baby steps guys, baby steps! Since I've caught a bad case of tonsillitis, I have plenty of time to post pictures :/ So here's the obligatory picture of the SBB (not that big of a box really [emoji14]) : Bonus picture of my car, fortunately nicknamed "Stormy"! So far, all I've drilled the front nozzle in order to put Hex screws in and I've started drilling the scope so that I can put lenses in : My goal with this build isn't to go super realistic like some of you guys but rather to see this through and have a reasonably nice blaster at the end. I will however try to build a "working" scope using squimpickle's and Trawn Guard's ideas. I expect this to take me at least a few weeks but any help or suggestion you may have is appreciated!
  16. Oh thanks!! I saw that thread a while back but didn't remember it!
  17. Am I correct in assuming this board would fit inside a DD resit kit?
  18. Great thread here on the topic of painting boots : http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/27114-Dyeing-Black-Boots-White Dyeing Black Boots White
  19. I bought these for my TK : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PI2T0VK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 They look and feel great IMO! Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk
  20. What's the ModPodge for? Is that what you're using as a sealer? I have the same setup as you but I didn't read anything about sealing them until now!!! Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk EDIT: ModPodge clear acrylic SEALER... I wonder if that's your sealer? #dumbquestion
  21. Digging this from the bottom of the abyss! I've got a DD kit and not a single clue of what to do... This will help Great build thread!
  22. Well, AP is in my neighbourhood so if I was to ditch Anovos(and I don't think I will) I guess I would go with him! However, until I saw the Anovos deal, I never thought I could afford trooping, at least not until later in life... I can't wait until those start shipping! At least then well know for sure how good it is.
  23. Thanks for clarifying that! I don't know much about wait times for different makers because I just at Anovos right away and didn't really looked back since...
  24. Some of the kits from vetted maker have long wait list too! I jumped at the Anovos offer but you could also go with ATA which, I think, isn't much more expensive than the Anovos kit. You don't get all the soft parts though, which is why I jumped at the Anovos preorder price... Too good of a deal to pass up. The wait and the uncertainty of what will come with the kit is killing me though...
