Basecoat of dull white over metallic and mustard...

Thx....good info. Makes sense the Kittle would stand up better. I modified the limp Anovos by inserting ABS plastic in between the cloth pieces...better than the original but not as good as a Kittle.

Yeah...did mine and must have cut it at an angle b/c it came out slightly that way...easy fix however...thx for the info!

Wow super sharp! Welcome and congrats!

Welcome and looking good! Not too far for EIB from the looks of it...be sure to read the requirements and submission requirements carefully...a lot of folks miss one or two of the basic pics. good luck! chris

Nice setup! Been looking st changing my mic to Bluetooth...right now my whole setup is in the bucket which can get tight

I’m interested in this as well...my bucket is so loaded with wires...it’s becoming a bit cumbersome

Fantastic thanks!!

Thx much...great reference photos for me to use! The idea with the mustard is that the yellow will brush off (I hope) once painted over with a base of white. This will then bring out the metal underneath...testing this online theory...

So....way to much XTC provides for a tough finish to this project. I had to go back and re-groove all of the grooves around the large front facing lens because they were completely gooped over between paint and the XTC 3D finish...that sucked and took more time than expected. In spite of the time spent, I feel as though its starting to come together...my daughter took one look and said "Dad...it looks like its been to a warzone." I thought well, that's the look I'm going for... Now to try this mustard thing I've been reading about for weathering... It took a few hours of dabbing some on...coming back....dabbing some on...coming back to get the affect I think I'm looking for...only time will tell after I apply the first coat of base white paint if I've achieved it. Not sure about layering (as I've read is possible) as really I'm just trying to get one layer of metallic to come through here... Don't know if this is too thick or just right. Also wondering what type of brush I should use to gently wipe it off after painted....I'll figure it out. Now to wait a couple of days and then try the base layer and eventually, some weathering!

Awesome! Very excited to be L2 and look forward to the challenge of L3...thx much for the work in putting together this analysis!

Sir, As requested...plz let me know what else you need. Chris

Hadn’t considered E6 to keep them in place...good tip!

Good to know!

Also...the boxes do line up, I just need to do a better job of lining them up for the photo shoot. Thanks for all the tips and improvement comments though...very appreciative!

Gotcha...thanks much!

Copy that thanks for the advice!

Thermal Detonator with pan head screws...

Thanks! Have been trying to fix that left side arm photo. Here is a better one but the belt in this pic is old...I've upgraded the belt with a white ABS plastic insert so that you can no longer see the for sale sign through the fabric...plz ignore the belt in this photo and use the other photos in this thread for the belt assessment. Will change the screws this weekend and upload another pic!

This baby is primed...tomorrow, I'm going to apply a couple of coats of dull metallic paint (pewter) and then mustard....after that, I'll apply a couple of coats of off white and brush it gently to bring out the metallic underneath in certain spots...

Looks great! I've got the eye shadow on my workbench...just waiting on my blaster and pack to get started!

Hello FISD, Humbly requesting EIB status for my Anovos ANH Stunt TK Kit Armor Maker: Anovos Helmet Maker: Anovos Blaster Type: Hyperfirm B-Grade with D-Ring upgrade Height: 5'9" Weight: 170 Boots: Imperial Boots Canvas Belt: Anovos (with ABS insert modification) Hand plates: (can't recall maker...but they are the flexible kind) Electronics: (Helmet: Ukswrath fans, SHA, speaker kit) Neck seal: can't recall where I got it (will add this in a bit when I find the receipt) Holster: Anovos Undersuit: Stormtrooper undersuit Front Back (TD straightens out I swear..my wife just didn't do it for the pic...if you need another pic, plz let me know!) Left Arm Raised Left arm raised 2 (realized after I posted this last night that my wife cut off my lower legs in the photo). Here is an older photo that should work (plz ignore the belt detail in this pic....I replaced 'For Sale" sign material with ABS in the ANOVOS belt) Right Arm Raised Right Side Detail Left Side Detail Abdomen Details Action Shot Cod and Butt Attachment Interior Strapping Helmet Front Helmet Right Side Left Side Helmet Back Side Helmet Lens Detail Bucket Electronics...a lot of stuff in here: Blaster Left Blaster Right Blaster D Ring Neck Seal Thermal Detonator Holster Attachment

Ok...learn from my mistakes...two coats of XTC means LOTS of sanding...I had big drips I had to sand off etc...anyway, after over an hour of sanding...we're ready for the first coat of Primer.

Thanks!

Curious about shipping blasters TO the U.S. from other countries...anyone have issues doing this? read the thread about shipping out but was curious about shipping in...
