I removed the return edge on the fore arms as seen here. https://www.flickr.com/gp/184848106@N07/797C1g But as you can see from this next pic the profiles don't come anywhere towards matching. https://www.flickr.com/gp/184848106@N07/0Ux7Yw So, do i need to remove the hump from the right fore arm to match the left?

Here's a pic showing the raised cover strip area on the forearm. Check out how funky the lines are on the RS armor. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

This morning I have pencil marked the returns on my biceps and will be removing them before final measurement and assembly. By the way, what is the proper way to finish the ends of the cover strips? Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

I think I'll try to get my wife to help me with my Duct tape Doppelganger tonight so I can start on the rest of my pieces. Being wrapped in Duct tape by a woman may have seemed exciting when I was younger, now it just makes me uneasy.

It's Humbrol #5 alright. It's just the lack of good lighting for my phone/camera. I'll get more on those teeth tonight. Thanks for the speedy reply. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

And how do these toothies look? Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Here's the penciled outline of vocoder. I need opinions before I paint. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I'll make those changes. Good thing I got two sets of templates. Stay tuned! Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Here's the paint job on my bucket. Please comment on needed fixes. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Here are some pics of my bucket with the ears on for your perusal and comment. Putting these things on is as hard as hunting Krayt Dragons with a vibro knife. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

My Hovi's arrived from UKSWRATH today, I will be putting them on tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Got two screws into right ear to check alignment. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Yea, here's a better angle. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

I ordered machine screws from amazon and they sent me zinc instead of brass. Are these acceptable since they will be painted over? Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Thanks, this is by far the most unnerving part of the bucket. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

I've got the front and back together, now time for the ears. Here I'm lining up the screw holes with the edge of the trap. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

GREAT! Thanks! Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Can anyone who has built a RS Bucket let me know if this gap is normal? I could raise the face piece but that would put the brow gasket right on top of the lenses like a hero bucket. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Can anybody who has assembled an RS suit let me know if this gap is normal? If I push up the front section to lessen the gap the brow trim will sit on top of the lenses Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

The brow now sits cleanly on the jig an I can move the sides around and get a good alignment before the drilling starts. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Most builders know that it can be a real hassle to marry up the back of the bucket to the front and keep everything from going akimbo (Akimbo is actually a Ewok word that loosely translates in basic as "To Sh*t) every time you make an adjustment. Since I can't afford the two extra cybernetic limbs I saw on Ebay and I don't think I'll be bitten by a radioactive spider anytime in the near future, I had to improvise. My remedy is, as you can see in the first photo, to make a Jig out of two pieces of scrap taped together and then I heat bended them to conform to the area above the lenses. Then I tapped it below the area I've chosen to be my brow line I back rolled some tape (Sticky side out) and stuck it under the center of the jig to give support so it does not slide down. And so it goes... Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

So before everyone asks, all the tape is to protect the protruding edges so they don't get scratched when I move the bucket around. I tend to get really focused and take less care when moving it around. Now, on with our show... I'm working out where I want the brow to be above the lenses. I used blue tape to get a decent straight line that was equally spaced above the lenses. The bottom edge of the tape is where I want the bottom of the black rubber to sit.
