  1. Finally the rail for the small tactic light arrived. Now the blaster is complete.
  2. That's what I planned to do next. I think this will get the best result. As I wrote, I'm not a fan of painting the whole armor. Over the time the paint will crack or even chip. About the belt, I didn't know it has to sit over the traumaplate. Thanks for this hint. And thanks for liking my work so far.
  3. The last days I spent money and time as well, to paint my modified BS R1 Helmet. I tried Ral 9010, 9016 and 9003. No one of these was as white as the armor. Which colour is close as possible to the armor white? I don't want to paint the whole armor. How much difference in colour is acceptable?
  4. Testfit For my liking the shins seem to be a little to "fat" compared to the tighs.
  5. A little update. Been busy with the strapping. I made suspenders for the barrel, as all of you did. I secure the forearms with stichted velcro to the undershirt. What drives me crazy are the bridges between chest and backplate. Either the chest sits too low, or the back is too high. The bridges will not be as horizontal as they have to be. I'll try to fix them with snaps. But I'm afraid, it won't last very long, as the whole combination is stretched and forced in form. I'll see.
  6. I'm not quite sure how I will do it. I'm actually busy with it an the back and chest plate. A little difficult to do it alone, but I will manage it.
  7. Hi TheRascalKing(TK), speaking about the undersuit, I actually have one. It's bikers underwear, which I modified. This are the modified pants. That's the shirt. Later on I will add the accurate gaskets. As you can see, the coverstrips are missing. I will sand them as soon as I get the bandsander.
  8. My gloves came in. Wow! What a quality. They fit perfect. These are from Endorfinders. Next and last missing softpart is the neckseal. Are there any recommendations for that?
  9. Hi Jeff. Thanks for your answer. Before I got the armor, I modified my Black Series R1 Helmet. The work.on the armor is coming slowly to an end. I will start the strapping soon. As it was my first build like that, I expected some issues, though I red many other WIPs. I'm quite confident that at the end I'm happy with the work I followed your work as well. It gave me some inspiration.
  10. Just a little update. I worked on the powercylinders and the T-Tracks. I took the powercylinders which came with the kit and will build the right one for my blaster. Also I managed to get a rubber that fits perfect over the T-Tracks.
  11. A little progress. Testfitted the upper armor to my mannequin. Looks a little strange to me. But it's just a test. In the last days I just made minor work to the armor. That's today's work. The biceps got some strengthening from the inside, the tighs as well. The forearms just need the coverstrips, which I still have to sand and paint.
  12. Thank you guys for your replies. IĀ“ll try to make i look good. Next task will also be the strapping.
  13. I'm going slightly mad Not alone the biceps keep their secret which one is left and which is right. The shins also can't decide. Me neither. Which lower edge goes on the inside and which on the outside of the leg? This or this
  14. IĀ“m working on the biceps, but donĀ“t really know, which part is left, right, outside or inside. Can anyone who built an 850 Armor works TK tell me, what is what? Thanks in advance
  15. Today I took the opportunity that my son is here to help me. We made a duct tape mannequin. He had much fun wrapping his old dad in tape. The problems started as he had to cut me open. To make it easier for him and more comfy for me, I lay down on my bed. It looks like this Meet my headless twin. I also worked on the shins and tighs. Slowly all comes together.
  16. Today I worked on the abdomen and kidney. I must confess, I have to lose weight. The traumaplate doesn't really fit over the middlepiece. Where do I cut the best to make it fit over the rectangular?
  17. Thank you for your offer. I'd like to post it here to share experiences with others who will build this kit, too.
  18. Not much progress today. I struggle with the belt. (Like almost every R1 builder) Afaik is the top part the front of the belt. But what do I do with the two squares and the four rectangulars? This will be the ammobelt on the right tigh. Do I have to cut it down to a flat strip with the five rectangulars? At least I have my first two parts ready.
  19. The shoulderbells seem to be a little problem. There a nearly no lines to see, where I can cut. Any tips?
  20. I started trimming the forearms and hand plates. I think I will trim all pieces first and start assembling after that. Instead of putting the two halfs of the td together , I think I'll look for tube.
  21. Let the game begin. Today was BBB day. Another lucky costumer. Thanks to 850AW. Great job and very fast shipping.
  22. Thanks guys. Didn't think this would come out that good. Now I have to add the right power cylinders.
  23. Ok. This seems to work. Some little things have to be done. T-Tracks and the scope. But for now I'm quite happy with my first build. Which took me around a week.
  24. Yeah. It's glossy Hammerschlag. Too glossy. I'm already painting it matt black. Compared to the ANH blaster, this one will be all black. Just the bolt will get another colour. Btw. inserting pictures from Imgur doesn't work for me.
  25. Almost ready for final paint. The fool as I am, I didn't buy the right black.
