  1. Thanks Frank. Got it sorted now. Made my shin connectors today. Only a minor bleed due to the needle. [url=https://
  2. And the decision is.....frayed edge. i freeze framed the scene where the TK is facing Liea after being stunned. There is a good close up of the waist. It is not 100% in focus but it certainly looks frayed. Thanks for all responses.
  3. Time zone difference is great! i go to bed posting a question and all the answers are there in the morning! thanks guys. I think i will give the frayed edge a miss. This is my design drawing. The canvas will be rolled 3-4 times and a sheet of plastic inserted for the holster to attached onto (reduce sag). TK belt construction
  4. Hi all, i am just about to make my canvas belt but need to finalise some details. The Rs original suit belt appears to have a frayed edge, top and bottom, I had asumed this was from age. Some of the newer troops out there have nice new belts, with a slightly frayed edge. So.... do i fray the edge? Also the stitch type seems to be just a straight stitch along the top and bottom? any feed back welcomed.
  5. Quick design sketch for the belt construction. I also scaled up the original RS belt on my ipad and matched it as best as i could with some canvas. The weave seems pretty close. TK belt construction Canvas belt original
  6. Hi Chris, No answer.. but from looking at the Centurion photos, image 3 is correct. I just need to trim the Ab section. Completed the drop boxes today, whilst waiting for more magnets to arrive. Drop box construction
  7. Scoring and snapping the ABS sheets for the cover strips. Iv got to say RS have provided plenty of extra ABS for the kit. I tried experimenting with gluing the cover strips first and the back strips as well. No difference really. I think if i did them both at the same time quality would suffer. ie glue everywhere. The larger image shows the asymetrical nature of the hand sculpted world of ANH. Love it.
  8. Thanks. They do look good. Its the main reason why i have to move on from my FX kit. Shouting out for help here. So do i cut where the blue arrow is (Ab section) or do i cut the Kidney section (red arrow). Cutting in thees places i lose my return edges....Or do i go with number 3 as most of this area is covered by the belt. The good news is i dont need shims on the sides so pretty happy about that.
  9. Admin: Please delete this thread as i have re-posted in the correct section.
  10. Actually the washing was completed. Thats what gave me the peg idea
  11. Good news. Thermal detonator today. BOOM. Straight forward jobs today. Cover strips attached to the biceps and made up some snaps. I have used marine snaps as they are very good quality.
  12. I will not be showing every edge i trim and not sure where to start so have started with some of the smaller pieces. I love my wonky RS kit. I knew what to expect and it is more important to me to have something based on an original suit than a sanitized version (but i do like those also, just had to make a choice). In terms of strapping i will be using snaps for durability. I am not convinced that brackets are a good long term trooping option. Ab buttons were pretty straight forward. Gave the corners a bit of a sand mainly because everything else on the kit has rounded corners or edges. From there i am contemplating the shoulder bells. I think these measurements are correct. But i will not be cutting these until the torso is complete as i want minimal black showing between the shoulder and chest.
  13. From building my FX kit i learnt the following points; 1) Refer to forum. 2) Measure twice cut once 3) Dont use a strong glue that will melt your ABS. 4) Refer to forum. I always start a project by making up some reference sheets i can easily carry around. Sheet 3 will be my helmet sheet (TBC).

  16. Yes i know that is an original but it is only one of 50 that were hand cut and assembled. The first image is from a Hero suit. The images you show here there is no consistent width, anywhere. Anyway if the image is in the CRL (and is listed as a completed CRL) then i would hope it will not affect my application??
  17. I would have to argue based on screen caps from the film and our own CRL that the border is next to nothing? TK_anh_stunt_ab
