Sanding is the most work but likely safest, I would worry that any compound that will strip the chrome would warp or otherwise damage the armor.

Only if they are more than a pencil’s width away - I believe decals were still okay last I checked as long as they look hand painted?

Pre-trimmed does mean less scraps for making paste unfortunately.

+1, same here, etc.

Not really an update, but I did get some new box bling: On the left is a plaque one of our members made for the local troopers last year that I finally got around to putting on my Husky tote, and the right should be self explanatory... It's nice having friends with laser cutters.

Looks like something from Tron.

Yikes.

Another suit? You’re a machine.

I make mine in a small (glass!) jar. Take scraps and cut them into ~1/4 x 1/4" squares, fill the jar with them, pour in acetone, put the cap on. Come back an hour later and stir, and I am usually good to go.

Is the plastic not dissolving? I would start by going to Home Depot (or equivalent) and getting industrial strength acetone. If that still doesn't do it, you may not have ABS.

Looks like the TFA kits should be shipping within the week according to that calendar. So my guess is we're going to get an email soon.

One of the owners used to post on the RPF but that was several years ago.

Great problem solving Daniel, if you have to paint it anyways may as well chop away.

Looks like a lot of 3D printed parts. One of the reasons I've held out for Anovos is because KB and Jimmi (and others) have much softer details/asymmetry compared to the film or even pre-production Anovos FO suits, this is the first non-Anovos I've seen that has had nice sharp details. Can't wait to see it in person.
