Delorean

Thanks for your opinons and advices. The bells gap will be reduced and the belt/detonator fixed. I was worried for the tights cuts. There must be a way for doing them better a next time. Jb

Hello, I'm not used to write often in english; But i will try to explain the issues i had with my armor project. Thanks to correct my work for making better a next time or some fixes. My first issue is with Anovos : they don't deliver and sell in switzerland. Two ways to get out : order from french friends or see anywhere else... The second issue was with the build threads : text only the most of the time and some research to do something wearable for a 1m70 guy. The third issue was the furnitures : no E6000 glue : quite easy with some glue for "hard plastic" had done the work with a 24h drying time. Now the build: I recently finished an ANH RS kit, nothing to expect bad. The helmet was ordered build, a good point for a first armor. : The armor came delivered by dhl with a signature at delivery.. but the stuff was left outside a whole day. The "mailbox" signed. Nothing unusual here: parts everywhere. Some sewing. : (neck seal home made and hidding the brands of the under suit) Belt assembly: Nothing unusual; the "one stop shop" post is usefull for this part. Tights and arms fitting : once again the tutorials helped but alone it take twice the required time and four steps. I had to glue the inner parts first in order to have clean cover strips after fitting the lenghts : (widths used : 25mm behind the legs, 20mm in front and 16mm for the arms). No magical tool for return edges in the hardware stores; some parts had to be shortened: heatgun, a clamp and well placed cuts. The sniper plate had the hidden screw treatement : abs leftover glued inside. Strapping: One hint for the three straps between the front and back part: glueing; otherwise the straps pop off from the scews. Using a tool for the split rivets; a "V" shapped head helps a lot. Before painting and final adjustements: My chest plate was not shortened at the back with the use of higher U-shaped holder. (not pictured) The shortened pieces where : -The chest plate on the neck -the cod part and the leg part shortened by bending -the butt plate -the forearms -the tights (maybe too much, but now a can walk without hitting the cod or the AB plate) -the shins (shortened on the feets part) The kidney part and cod parts had to be bent a little. The fan part: Two 5V fans behind a 2W dc/dc; the whole thing is put in place by worbla parts. In fact the harder part was to trim the parts without a visible seam, even with the 8mm and 10mm rules. Don't hesitate to correct me. A newbie builder. Jb
