Thanks Glen, I was studying yours closely before weathering mine. Will have another crack this weekend and darker it up some more [emoji106]

It actually looks a bit more weathered in the flesh than in the pics, but also while I've seen both extremes I didn't want to go 'too' far. (Would prefer it on the heavier side though )

Hi again all, Been a while since I've been able to work on this. I've redone the blue tube stripes, given it a clear coat of semi gloss lacquer to try and make it closer to my armour, and given it a light-ish dusting of charcoal powder. All feedback gratefully received

Ah, gotcha

I know that RWA sell seperate parts and not only full kits, but, as Glen said, contact the suppliers and see what they say. All the best with your build

Glad it's helped mate

Feedback 'shouldn't' be an issue as the mic is unlikely to hear what's coming out of the buds. Loving the idea.

Thanks Joseph I knee I was going to mess up those tube stripes! Easy enough to strip and redo. I'll check the screw alignment with the traps when I get home. Hopefully enough wiggle room if I loosen the screws to get them lined up.

Could you guys please take a look at these pics to make sure you're happy with the painting all the way up to level 3. I know it needs weathering, but I can do that over the clear coat. The abs is not as shiny (RWA had supply issues) so I'm going to spray with clear semi-gloss, but once done these details will be sealed. Thanks, Rich

You never learn if everything goes right first time. It'll be amazing when it's finished [emoji106]

Congratulations Andrew, and thank you

Here's the link where Tony first mentions 'noisy power' from usb power banks. It then goes on to talk about filter circuits, and I believe Tony ended up fitting a version of the filter to his product. You may be able to reproduce the filter from info in the linked thread, or contact Tony for help. Although it's nice to have everything powered from the same battery I'm happy having a power bank for my fans and a 9v battery powering my velleman (via a small dc voltage convertor)

Tony (ukswrath) has said with his kits (which are very similar) that usb power banks are going to cause problems like this. I think he said it was because of internally circuitry (I'll try and find the link to his post)

Good luck with your submission Kiel

Should hope so too [emoji16] Looking forward to seeing your progress mate, and hopefully meeting up sometime soon!!

I find the easiest way to post pics here is using tapatalk (if you're posting from your phone). Install the app, then add pics to your post one at a time to upload at highest res possible. If you upload two or more at once it reduces the resolution.

Hi (again) [emoji112] You'll get great help and advice over here. Best advice is to ask lots of questions and post lots of pics as you go. Looking forward to meeting up on a troop on the other end of your build [emoji106] Rich

Congratulations Dwight. An awesome build and well deserved recognition for your efforts

Congratulations! Another one in the bag!

Yes, Glen can definitely vouch for that! [emoji1] Welcome to FISD [emoji106]

I guess you're referring to the com link and grappling hook. Take a look at the hero crl and you'll see these listed in the optional section at the bottom https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_hero I've not trooped with anyone yet that's been wearing these, and would be fab to see them in public.

Hi Ben, Great to see this post from you, and was great trooping with you yesterday. Looking forward to seeing your EIB and Centurian threads, and helping if/where I can.

Be warned, if you've done a few troops it could be terrifying [emoji33]

Just to reiterate the value in using a torch from behind to pick up armour cracks early No torch Torch from in front Torch from behind

I'm sure I'll see you on a troop so if you need any help later on just let me know, but sounds OK to me from the video [emoji106]
