I was planning on all that but never heard the yellow before. Also I was going to use 600 so thanks on that. I don't want to rough it up too much. <br><br> Ochra is almost brown right? Rust?

Way more than half the fun is gathering all of the pieces yourself and the feeling of accomplishment from building something like this makes it worth the effort. You won't have the same connection to the armor if you get RS or anyone else to build it.<br><br> I'm not saying don't do it. Different strokes for different folks you know.

Weird, how have I never heard of those. Now I'm looking them up. <br><br> I enjoy working on the blaster. I just wish I had steady hands.

More work on my blaster today. Piece started to crack when I drilled for the grub, scary. There was a few isuses with the barrel tip. As soon as my drill was on it the fake bolt exploded and took a large chunk of the tip with it. Lots of sculpting with my dremel to fix it. The other issue was I didn't buy the cross hatched bolts but I did that for easy ident of my blaster, I know mine has the striped bolts. Last for today the lock free screw

I'm good with it. She's asking for Legacy Fem Trooper but I have no idea how to build that lol. I'll have to study more. My next one will be a TFA Snowtrooper Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Still haven't opened mine but from what everyone says I'm not looking forward to it

We all know that's a lie. We call you Darth Fabulous behind your back lol

just turned 30 a few weeks ago, my 4 year old loves what I'm up to lol

Dun Dun Dun DUN DA DUN, DUN DA DUN!! Little bleed, didnt think about the type of plastic I was painting. It has little channels that run the whole length. Bugs me that I didn't get that cog in the centre but it sits horizontal anyways so it should look okay

It's been longer than a decade since I did stuff like this last so lets see if I do okay. First, vinyl painters tape I took a cog off google and put it into Photoshop and made it about 2 inches by 2 inches. I then laid that onto some tegaderm (second skin from the drug store) and wrapped that around the battery. Total MacGyver moment on the tegaderm btw lol Cut with a very sharp boxcutter and pealed even more carefully. If this was an airbrush I'd be doing a lot better with it. I never used to use brushes. Waiting for that to dry a bit before another coat.

Drilled out the tip but not the bolts. I want to be 100% that I have replacements before I do that. Well that's yesterdays work. Will update tonight with what I get done. It'll be less, I have my son all day Moms out getting a tattoo! lol

This is where it's getting violent. I am clearing out spots using dental pics and have slipped and scratched the paint a lot BUT it doesn't matter because I' going to paint and go for a real battle worn look. I drilled out the spot in the folding stock on the bottom there. I need to square it up when I buy needle files next week. Also need to add a centre piece using the clay. Dug out to separate parts on the stock. Looks better in person. I still may go deeper. Started to dig out around the bolt. Still going deeper today. Dug out the T tracts to make them look a little separated. Could go deeper. CHIP! That's fine lol. Easy fix. I actually may leave it and make sure to have it as a metallic ding on the barrel. Now my hands shake like a street walker in church (lots of drugs, legal but still make me twitchy and shake) so that's now my dremmel slipped on the counter. Which is fine. I'm making a fake top and pushable button for this so this won't be seen but I'll also patch it any ways.

Then it was little brown box day and also a tiny package in the mailbox. The tiny package was my Efraa compression shirt from Amazon. I'm not showing that. It looks okay, it's a 2X and I'm testing it's limits when I put it on, I'm not putting up a photo lol. But it works and was super cheap. $13 I believe. Now to the box... what's in the box?!?!!? WHAT'S IN THE BOXXXXXXXX?!?!?!!! It's my E-11 from Quest Design Canada! I love it, please don't take what I'll be doing to it as not loving it lol. I'd be happy to just have it as is but I really want to mess with it. Some men just want to watch the world burn Master Wayne... lol Pre deconstruction. Added a spring made out of 14 gauge wire. Not sure I like how it's sitting in the inner bolt might fabricate something. Drilled out the fake bolt in the handle. Mission to find new one today. Drilled out fake holes in folding stock. I'll be making a fake rod with polymer clay by pushing it into the holes using a dowel with it's end concave so it actually looks like a rod goes through the stock.

Hello everyone, I've been feeling pretty motivated lately. I have a bit of an update. I've been working at building a 5v 10000mAh 4 blower system for my bucket but that's just a pile of parts waiting for the fans to come from china in a month. I did however buy the power block. It was at Canada Computers for $30. The weight should be okay but I'll need ballast at the front of my helmet to make up for it. It'll eventually have a red cog painted on it. The inside of my bucket will be black and red. I also grabbed some chemical gloves at Dolleramma in Canada. The was $2 and another $1 for cotton liners. I guess it's the normal set up around here. (Thanks Danny and the guys on the Tantive IV Boarding Party on facebook for getting me on the right ones) My eyes aren't actually this crazy, I was trying to look like a serial killer lol.

The vault at the Pentagon right beside the Arc of the Covenant lol

Noooo! Only in the US!

I imagine my wife would actually do better in an xwing flightsuit because of the open face but we'll wait on that one. I want to build one of those someday too

Do you have the box dimensions for this? I actually want this exact box but I imagine it'd be hard to find it in Canada, I can never find European things here. boo lol

Then I realised I just talked myself into spending another few thousand when I did lol. That's life, at least I have an excuse to keep building.

Sell it on Ebay like it's a pickle in the form of the virgin Mary. People always pay lol

Do it real slow, buy everything over a long period of time. I'm going quick and it seems I'm dropping a few hundred a week right now for tools and everything Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
