Good looking build so far. Keep it up
-
Best of luck Scott. I did my Amsterdams and was very pleased with the results. Had to resist wearing them until I was comfortable they were dry.
A little bit of Angelus goes a LONG way. Try not to glob it on. Instead of frog tape, i used the 3m painters tape. did great. Any bleed I painted with flat black model paint.
I stripped with acetone. It did alright with the towels. You might have better luck with the deglazer.
The tulip paint was a bit of a pain. I did 4 coats and saw minimal results. ended up using the Angelus on the elastic in about 6 light coats. (opening the elastic most i could and packing paint in lightly).
Haven't used a sealer yet.....probably should......

They're up on ShapeWays. Nice little pieces that add a lot of missing deets
Appreciate it! Good stuff here. Dying to see the progress. I got mine in the mail today.
I hope he plans on adding the rest of the pieces. GREAT build he's got going on.

I ordered one of these and am patiently waiting for it. Have the files been posted yet or still fine tuning them? I cannot wait to crack mine open and follow this build. Great job!

Looking good. How do you plan on attaching the lenses? Look into Sugru, very easy to work with.

Awesome. Once my latex handguards and rubber gloves come in from Karin and I get a blaster, I'm going for expert infantry, then ultimately centurian. A couple things to tighten up here and thereShould be fine for basic approval. I ordered mine off amazon.

Yea, I had a problem hunting down a hobby iron to do it. Didnt want to use the heat gun, thinking it would have been overkill. Appreciate it.You might want to taper the return edge towards the end of the bottom of the kidney plate and the top of the butt portion.

I bought one, primed it and then painted black. In the pictures, it looks good and you don't see the difference unless your looking for it. I'm the sandy
FB_IMG_1435542605287.jpgDo you have any pics of it up close after you primed and painted it? I'm thinking of getting either the nerf or disney blaster to troop with. Might get a rubber cast one for ESB/Centurian cert.

It's way too small for a Disney, I promise
You are absolutely right. Found a youtube video of it, That stock is tiny. BUT!, nothing that bondo won't fix lol. It's also filmsy. better off getting the kit in the end for the disney blaster.

Yea. I have tan ones for my uniform. Haven't had a black one since the BDU days. This belt was no more than 8 bucks.It never occurred to me to use a tactical belt. That looks really good. I may need to check my Army surplus store. All I have left from my Army days is a tan rigger's belt.

True I was looking for it this weekend. Couldn't find it anywhere.Probably way too short to use on a Disney, they fit a 1:1 stock. It looks decent in pics without size references, but it's a tiny dart gun

My decal guy did an outstanding job with the tube stripe decals. Gave him the CMYK code for French blue and here's the final result. Went with the "hand painted" look on them. Subtile
Here is the inside. Top is padding from an old motorcycle helmet with some ACH/MICH pads to help fitment on the forehead, back of head, and cheeks
Garter belt system for thigh armor pieces. Riveted snaps to a tactical duty belt. Elastic snaps to thigh pieces.
Plastic hand guards for normal trooping with black nomex gloves. Ordered a pair of Latex guards with rubber gloves from Karin for certification and the fancy trooping.
Canvas belt from TKittell and Holster from Darman. OUTSTANDING work by both of these individuals on the craftmanship of their products. Drop boxes have back to them both attached and closed magnetically. incase i want to put things in their, you never know. Obviously something that wont be affect by a rare earth magnet.
Waiting on 2" Elastic so I can attach the chest and back plates, then attach shoulder pieces.

I think pull the stock off and transplant it to the Disney E11

This seems like a good option, if you can get it working right. You have the static breaks, decently loud, and you can output it to smaller speakers. only thing i would do is make the PTT button longer and route it through the sleeve to the glove. heck, I can even probably power it from my usb battery as with my fans.
Been checking out some videos of it in action on youtube, pretty good IMO

Ah yea. It's Lithium ion

If there are any recycling places near you or you or someone you know has an old desktop or laptop computer, you can canabalise the fans from them, also if you have kids or know someone with kids you can cut the battery pack out of an old toy, a dremel is great for this, lots of toys often have a little switch on them near the battery compartment that can be used too.
Just thought I would mention also using heat shrink tubing is much better and tidier than electrical tape around the wires, you can get it from an electrical shop, automotive shop or online, just get a size bigger than the wire, cut off enough to cover the joins, remember to slide it well back from where your soldering, solder the wire, slide it over the join and rub the soldering iron over it to shrink it over the cable, electrical tape is ok short term but it tends to unravel over time leaving sticky glue everywhere.
A hot glue gun is also invaluable for sealing over wires and tidying things up and also fixing to your lid, watch the heat though and have a damp rag on standby.
This is the exact concept i was thinking. My daughter has a couple toys she doesn't use. I'm going to find a switch from one of those. I ended up going with a bit bigger battery, PNY T6600 ($25 bucks at best buy, Can charge a phone 4 times over) that has 6600 mAh with 2 USB ports, one puts out 2.4 amp and the other is 1A. I hooked up a ohmmeter to a stripped USB cable, showing about 7.3 - 7.5 v output on each.

This is going to be the build of builds. So impressive.
