  1. Hi, I am also located in Japan (Osaka) as gmrhodes13 said join I found glueing the fronts let dry 100% and then after do the inside shim and clamp it well tokyo hands have really good metal clips that are super strong and cheap. once glued i then do the hot bath and shape it some and then finally do the top shim. I have a heat gun from amazon.jp 2000 yen which has good attachements but you defo need some practice to get this right hot water bath several times is safe.. For Dark Dark Admiral Grey i used Tamiya XF-53 alternative is XF-66 I am about to order from trooperbay some items and will get paint as well its about $3.70 a pot if your interested i will cover the shipping you just pay for the paint. I have found that Amazon.jp... e6000 is the fastest and cheapest, Magnets cheap Chicago Screws I ordered a few so if needed let me know. Konan Pro sanding items Spring for E11 (I see you are doing a 3D printed E11, I also got a prusa 3) Acetone Tokyo Hands Poppers and tools leather and elastic 100 yen Shops tape Elastic Sewing items Justjoseph63 hand Gauards Split Rivets TD screws I have spare if you need. Single Cap Rivets UniQlo Under Armour bulldog44 E11 resin Scope Brian must have AHD as its so well packaged and the detail is so awesome the AP kit looks awesome I had a kit untrimmed and messed up several pieces... live and learn.
  2. I got e6000 in Japan from Amazon.jp the price was 1500 yen for 109.4 ml Clear in white its 16000 yen! I have 3 tudes..... 1 and bit tubes leftover.. I also done tie fighter helmet and rebel helmet with this stuff. (Rebel helmet for target practice) Really easy to use and forgiving and easy to clean up! I used the Japanese equivalent that was 500 yen cheaper but was so hard to clean up was strong and flexiable but took far too long to clean compared to e6000 pulling this stuff apart and rubbing it off is fun, as its so easy. I have redone several pieces where I would not bother due to the additional work
  3. Thanks Rat/Dan I am always a bit unsure about the trimming... I over trimmed my bells so had to order some more... Its good to get the position feedback and trim at the same time... @CableGuythanks will add the final touch up to the frown i will get this done so looks better.. Yeah will need to check this This is the only area I used the template.... So I understand now from the first strip its a pencils width and in my world a standard pencil is 7mm ? 9/32 gallon , amber , mitta ... is that right? @TheSwede Yeah looking at the pics the weight of the line is maybe double... I am going to redo these parts. I think I need to do all of them... As for the tubes I am going to go over the guide again but question I have is...... The distance from first stripe edge from cheek width is a standard pencil which is 7mm . are pencil sizes the same all over the world this is when I realized I am crazy for this... I am definitely going to repaint the tube stripes I may even try without the template. many thanks to all for the feedback please do not hold back the more feedback I get the better my armor.
  4. Some update at last... wanted to know if the placement for the ammo knee was good.. front Inside other thigh shins Helmet third paint.. covers and mesh to fit.. need to adjust the s profile will also adjust the lens small gap on the eyes and also want to shape it more. I am also ordered some padding. I totally messed up the shoulder bells but getting some replacements I have a big belt sander a little over the top its actually very easy to cut and sand live and learn.
  5. where is franks stormtrooper from Hong Kong? they said express delivery 3 days right...
  6. pay pay link about the company many people complaining... Pay Pal link about company ZG TECHNOLOGY CO.,LIMITED this is defo a scam so many hits online about this company. next time I am in HK I will check then out lol
  7. the website is in China I do not think you can buy all the parts for that cost even.. the reviews seem like translations as well.. I buy 10 at that price if its real and good!
  8. maybe the hosting site SSL cert expired \ renewed or the time changed. I was also getting timeout errors as well later on in the day yesterday.
  9. But I am glad you said you had an issue as well i thought it was just my PC etc and my proxy. I just double checked and everything is working for me I changed my proxy to testra and now is set to Melbourne seems good now...
  10. Must be your super slow internet speeds down under :-)
  11. Hi I actually had the Same issue as well.. Tried IE 64 32, Chrome and Firefox If you still having issues try clearing your Cache located in Japan Regards, Dan
  12. I right on the limit so so I will think I will go with the snaps / poppers / kashime i noticed the back middle piece has a crack can is it ok to CA the crack and then reinforce the back part of should I do any think more to fix that ?
  13. Great ! I was worried I would sand too much off. I have ordered the Mr No Strips Brackets I hope there is enough space on my kit for them.
  14. Hi Rat thanks! Am I thinking right that I can take another 3mm off and be ok? On the top part I was going to sand so its flat but still have the lip. I also sanded the TD caps 20mm I was going to do more but then the power went out... turns out was a massive fire near me..... helped some old couple get out the way... All good now and no one was hurt..
  15. Ok started with the belt boxes.. I have a question on how much i need to sand from the butt plate.. I am always worried if i sand off to much..
  16. Tools I had to get E6000 from Amazon import as I am located in Japan

  19. Hi Guys, I been checking out ... https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39650-anh-paint-colour-guide/ As I am located in Japan I can not get these makers so after some research I think I found the TAMIYA equivalents.. ------- TS-10 French Blue gloss Maybe inspired from 1972 Le Mans Mantra ---------- Dark Admiralty Grey I read that this is the most used color by modelers for all RAF Crew areas like the Jaguar, Lightning, Harrier, trainers, Sea Harriers, Tornado, Buccaneer, Phantom and Tucano, etc there are a lot of RAF bases around the studio area XF-53 ---------- Alternative to XF-53 XF-66 ----------- Black X-18 i used the following guide... https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39650-anh-paint-colour-guide/ please let me know if these Colors / Colours are ok? Anyone used TAMIYA? p4ntb0y
