I enjoy watching your build threads Christine, I really don’t know how you rebuild your return edges, I’ve tried it on scrap pieces of abs only to make a complete mess of it, I’m clearly missing something.... my wife would second that .... lol... Seriously, as always you are doing an amazing job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations Matt, it’s a fantastic feeling when you get your armour cleared. Well done mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As above Jack, teeth looking great, just be gentle with those files you have, re the eyes just a tad more to take off if you want the clean look, have a break and comeback to it tomorrow.... when I made mistakes it was always when I pushed on doing stuff when it really was time to stop, or when I was in a rush, just take your time, it’s looking good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Jack, those lines are looking good, as Dan says, line them both up to double check before you cut. The line on the cap part where the brow trim goes looks spot on . Nice work mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jack, the teeth are looking good, the second one in from centre on the right is perfect, the centre right one could have a tad more removed, left centre right is almost perfect. Regarding the eyes, looking good mate, draw a pencil line around the edge where the side meets the back ... see pics below And the teeth Hope this helps mate, you are doing a fantastic job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Jack, the pencil lines look like a good start for the eyes, once that part is cut out you can sand them down with the Dremel to get them closer to the edge, just take your time, but by bit and you will get there , it took me ages to get my eyes right. Re the rough cut around the brow, it needs trimming back to just below the ridge , where you have already started to cut it too. Good luck mate, I’m really looking forward to this build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had difficulty with my RS right forearm, the inner piece was too long And also like you, the glaring out of the elbow, I did trim it back a bit, but don’t have a pic, will take one later for you. Also from memory this was a really difficult part to glue together, I fitted an internal cover strip on the front first, then it needed to be held in place with tape to get the back to line up, then glued an inner cover strip at the rear ...... and like you, it was taken apart because it wasn’t quite right..... thank goodness for E6000 glue Your build is looking good, how is you kid held on the wall? I couldn’t see a bracket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

TK14655 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status (RS) [364]
Gwithian replied to Gwithian's topic in Request Centurion Status
Thanks Matt, not long for you now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I use a good quality car polish on mine, auto glym .... works a treat , oh and T Cut before the polish if it’s scuffed [emoji4]T cut is a car paint restorer we get in the U.K. , so anything like that should be ok followed up by a good old polish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Wow, that’s looking great Matt, get your garrison clearance, but also apply for your 501st ID now, as the clearance in interlinked to you getting your TKID, then once cleared apply for EIB and then Centurion..... Your armour looks amazing mate [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve just completed my RS armour and achieved Centurion this week. I didn’t alter my kidney notches, left them as RS made them. I had similar problems to you longing the kidney and butt pieces up, however when strapped together it actually fitted much better then when placed on the bench Make sure the ridge in the back of the kidney and butt line up This is how the butt / kidney notch looked originally .... please note the kidney and ab are not longed up correctly And now after being strapped Hope this helps Have a look at some RS build threads on here, they should help ... this is my build thread... https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/40087-stephens-rs-anh-stunt-build-wip-for-small-people/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POLL: What glue have you tried, what actually works

It’s E6000 for me, as I can pull everything apart if I mess something up.... which happens quite often .... doh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
