I decided to change gears for a bit and work on the bucket. Here is my first pass on the teeth and eye sockets. Feedback would be greatly aprectiated. I have some pencil lines on the eye sockets where I thought I would go but I didn't want to go to far without asking first. I have never seen a measurement on that but the size looked right to me including the wonky asymetry that drives me crazy. Thanks!

Quick update. Basically I have been making snap plates for the strapping system and following the recomendation of testing with scrap on the repair front. ABS paste isn't so bad. Even the ratio of ABS scraps to Acetone isn't critical as you can always add more acetone and/or let some of the acetone evaporate. I would love anyone recommendations for the spreading of the paste as my technique requires a ton of sanding to clean up. Basically I am spreading it with a clean popsicle stick with a squared off end. I am using masking tape to protect the surrounding area. The main challenge seems to be getting it to fill the defect without bubbles or having a pass of the applicator pull the abs paste out of the defect.

irrupt off thank you for all the quick replies. I am definitely going to do this this weekend. I have been saving small abs scraps in a mason jar for the eventual shimming of the thighs. This also should help me figure out the elusive acetone to plastic ratio... This has really been my approach so far. The tough thing is as I get more things trimmed they start to depend on positioning relative to other pieces. I have my sholder bells biceps and fore arms rough trimmed and taped and ready for fitting but as best I can tell so far they seem to depend on the chest and back bridge strap for spacing and rotation. My thought was to get the core right and they align all other pieces from there. Thanks, I will. I have several of them bookmarked already but I will look for more build thread links in them.

This is a great build thread as someone who is also working on one thank you! Please keep up all the great posts and detailed pics.

So I am well with in the freak out phase after getting started on this project. All the research I did I can say I didn't do enough... I am building an ESB TK with the goal of EIB and Centurion so the constructive criticism is welcome and apreciated. So I have started my build and have been rough trimming and doing things as I feel I understand them... I am not getting a lot done. Can I get some pointers on trimming the chest, back and the cap&back. Thoughts?
