When I unpacked everything and laid it out, I was pacing all over the place. It was extremely intimidating. I have never used an exacto blade or scored anything before tonight. I had to google and research what you all meant by snaps, rivets, etc.I have read threads and googled how to build TK armor everyday (not exaggerating) for about the last 3 months. Still, after all this when I looked at the armor I felt discouraged because it was overwhelming to take it all in. I felt like a made a big mistake. I walked away played some Portal 2, cleared my head and then went back to my armor.
I got the forearms and made lines on the wrist part and scored. I scored for along time because I was afraid of cracking the armor when I tried to snap of the bottom part with my pliers.
Success! I know it's a very small step but it feels like a big accomplishment.
I hyped myself up way to much. I'm building this alone and need to learn to have more patience. If I get through this and finish this build, anyone can, believe me.
I am going to call it a night and use the drimmel I got tomorrow on the edges.
