I found out shortly after the original post that we have an RS components account at work and have since bought a litre of acetone and "melted" some ABS off cuts [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
So I have a nit of spare time so lets get back on it........ where is the best (most critical) place to start when sizing? Is it cod piece and work up to ab plate/butt piece up to kidney plate then arms and legs Or is it best to do thighs and work down to shins then up to the body then arms? I know what I think but just want confirmation fotm experienced builders Cheers G Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Question ......... are the shins the same on the left leg and right leg?? I may have lots of left leg parts and no right leg parts..... or vice versa Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Update. ..... I found an assembled left bicep in the box(knew I'd seen one) but it was SDS overlap construction....... cut it open but I think it's a lost cause.. ... thanks to RWA Inow have a serious of left and right biceps and the strapping kit arrived a few weeks ago........ More trimming ahead I think i got the left and right leg parts matched up ........ Bicep and forearm are SDS overlap construction before i spoit them apart so they are to be replaced with the RWA parts Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
It's hard to explain but I need to redo my shoulder bridges so they have an edge...... But the actual shoulder parts of the chest plate may not be wide enough to have the proper shaped shoulder bridges where the bridges should have the edges.... See if these photos help at all.... if not I'll redo the bridges and then send photos .... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Got a small shoulder bridge question ....... I know I over sanded the the edges...... but when I re do them, I think the may over lap the actual shoulder parts........ as seen when you zoom in on my picture..... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Sooooo..... I got a bit impatient waiting for stuff to arrive...... its held together with gaffer tape ....... but I couldnt help myself!!!! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Will the ab buttons as I have trimmed make basic clearance or is it a rework? As its the only set i have currently ...... the shoulders I can redo got a few sets of them in with the white stuff
I trimmed to what I could see was the moulding lines on the underside..... it's also the only set I have currently - these were what i noticed missing when I first unpacked the kit Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Today I dabbled with the grey and blue paint for the ab buttons and started the first rough trimming of the kit..... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
I had to travel from newcastle to slough a week later to recover it from storage and it spend some time on the bench in the garage Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Dragging my build back from the bantha ....... I sourced what I have been informed is Shepperton studios..... from a guy who worked there...... here it is in the boot of the car and at the hotel before spending a week in storage!!!! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
I know I could do better..... but it has taken me 3 weeks to get the scope rail fabricated and I ran out of patience after the 4th attempt by the fabricators
It's a saturday, the double glazing fitters have let me down....... what else is a guy to do...... I know blaster build!! (Scope rail and counter hanger fabricated)
Almost time to get busy with the spray painting
Linz....... that's my train of thought...... I want to be minimum 501st basic clearance....... but the star wars geek in me sez go for centuriom clearance.......... the old cost vs wallet dilemma lol
The hand guards were 3D printed wasnt sure how they would turn out but a flash of white paint and they will fill a gap until i can fund the full kit.......
