Ebio Amisi

Awesome - it’s on my list of things to fix/improve but it sounds like I have got to a point where I can apply for EIB and Centurion! Thank you all for all your help and advice. I’ve been blown away by how amazing this community is. Will take photos and submit my EIB application shortly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so last thing I’ve got to sort is the hand guards. This is the extent of the curve on them at the moment. It is only visible from the side really. They are glued correctly and made of white Latex. I’ve heated them in hot water and I’m trying to flatten them out. If I can’t get the curve out, will this stop me passing EIB and Centurion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eye holes trimmed on the helmet - does this look better now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It isn’t possible to see in the reference images, but if I rotate the canister that far around, I’m going to have this gap between the control panel on the canister and the metal clip. Would that be a problem? The gap isn’t visible unless you are directly above the TD itself. Also, just as a general point, the CRL doesn’t seem to match the reference images. It says; “the white control panel faces upwards”, which could be read as should be in the position that my TD is current set. Or am I reading the CRL incorrectly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ok so it’s almost at a 45 degree angle then, will have to move it even further around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Planned new placement for TD (Wider view) Old clip is still in same place on the right. This seems like the right angle to me, but obviously want to make sure I’ve got it correct before I cut off part of the metal and start drilling new holes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Planned new placement for TD (Side) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Planned new placement for TD (front) Old setting is still in place on the right for reference. Would obviously have to shorted both clips and drill new holes

I stripped and repainted the frown - is this looking better? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick question about the thermal detonator. Using the greeblie circled in blue as a reference point, how far does it need to be rotated? To the red or yellow line? Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I don’t have easy access to 100% acetone (being UK based) and therefore can’t really make ABS paste (also don’t have any spare ABS) - I’ve instead used Sugru to fill the gaps in the armour. It seems to have worked quite well! Waiting for it to dry before I can say for certain but has anyone else tried this method? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Close up of the clips, made them out of plasticard and then used super glue and baking soda to hold them together Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

C-Clips for the “Trooper Butt” are made, glued and clamped in place whilst they dry! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks I’ll give this a try! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice on this, however the latex has glue almost the whole way to the edge at the moment already. The latex pieces themselves are curved, so I’m wondering how I can straighten them. Would you have any tips for doing this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tips! The gloves are quite curved. What would be the best way to fix this? Cheers! Ben Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One last thing, is the brow on my helmet high enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, for the frown, is this good enough or does more paint need to be removed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hovi tips are now also painted: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Help with latex hand guards. They appear to be stuck on properly but seem to have warped into this curve. How do I fix this? Would a hot water bath work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
