Anyone else experiencing this? When I'm on my computers at home both the laptop and desktop when I try to click any of the buttons on the topmost bar (notifications, messages, profile dropdown sign out) nothing happens... It does the same thing for the main navigation bar. I do not have this issue on my work pc. Could it have something to do with the latest batch of Microsoft updates? I have automatic updates turned off on all of the computers or a browser update, firewall setting, adblock or something Running Windows 7 pro across all of the platforms, 64x OS's, google chrome and IE (newest) are the browsers.

To all the accuracy hounds, that ruler is on a bit of an angle the td with caps on is exactly 7.5 inches

Sorry I don't know how to upload photos with tapatalk they never go through... anyway it doesn't look like a lot but I put cover strips on the first thigh, measured and cut my TD to the right dimensions, and cut my belt. I need to make the 45 degree cuts more symmetrical but the protractor is a great tool. I had one too many a beer and cut on the wrong side of the protractor for one side of the belt and figured it was getting too late to go at it again. Better more material than less right?

I really like your setup Christina, I will try to base mine off of that. What I like about the eva is that it can be shape however I like. I may have to double up though because this stuff is like 1/2" thick. -

Tonight I'll try fitting the legs I didn't get a chance to yesterday, it's hard to get everything you want to do done in 2 hour spurts. I also have a drafting protractor and I will cut out the 45 degree angle cuts on the belt.

Progress! All remaining parts now trimmed and sanded. Another look at my ab buttons And of the helmet because 'm proud of the way it came out

Foam lining inside your Armor
ComradeDave replied to TKZombie's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
I'm sure if you scuff up both surfaces a bit e6000 will work just great. But foam to plastic I'm not sure what other alternatives other than super glue would be ideal. If you're not applying it directly to the ABS hot glue always works on foam. YOu extreme caution when using heat around the ABS, I have already made this mistake so you don't have too lol. -
That's true. It's getting time off of work that is awful, Is anyone going to the Niagara Falls Comic Con?

To answer your question last night I did have some time last night to really trim down the kidney and ab plate return edges what a difference a lot more flex Tony was right! I don't have to assume that he is most of the time all his advice has been top notch!

the hook enclosures aren't a requirement correct? Or will I have to install them regardless? -

I couldn't sleep either when mine was on the way Ange. You are sooooooooo lucky yours is ready to wear because now I can't sleep with all the nightmares I've been having of trimming and assembly malfunctions, knife wounds, heat gun fires and the worst one never finishing the damn thing. -
zv288bot's AP ANH stunt build! Whoop Whoop!
ComradeDave replied to zv288bot's topic in ANH Build Threads
looking good man, I also did the helmet first in hindsight it was a mistake. I should have done other stuff first as I was inexperienced with trimming and didn't have enough research under my belt. I shot first and asked questions later and ended up ruining 2 sets of ears and warped the right side of my helmet having to buy another one. Be extremely careful when trimming the ears if you don't like gaps I found it is ok to leave a little extra material on the backs of the flare that touches the cheek tubes. Installing the lenses wasn't very fun and took a lot of trial and error. After my heatgun fiasco I have opted to use as little heating on the armour as possible I'm gun shy now. Really sand out those eye holes to get them as flush as you can, and a flat needle file for the sides/top & bottoms, and a little square one for the corners of the teeth holes, work great for squaring them up.
