A lot of sanding might help to smooth out that ridge if there's material under there. I'd still get in touch with the vendor though.

If you post a picture of your helmet I'm sure someone can show you the trim lines to get the look you're after

Looks like you have a wire hanging down under your chest plate too.

Taken care of, Stacie

I bought some from kj magnetics, just google them.

Pretty cool Dan, replacing your ANH rig?

REALLY cool, Mason! The little details like the tube and circuit boards bring it to life. Not to mention the skull inside!

In the price range you are looking at, the rubies is unfortunately the only option.

Aren't ya going to buy me dinner first? Welcome aboard.

I think that will work. I put my forearm pieces inside the calf pieces, then those inside the thigh pieces, laid on top of the back plate, and clamshelled with the chest plate. Then you should still have room for whatever else needs to go in there. There are threads with pictures on here because I know I got the idea for nesting everything from somewhere.

I'd see if he has any scrap ABS from the kit so you can see what kind of prep work it will take to paint the plastic before you jump in and buy the whole thing.

Yeah, hard to say. Unless the price is a steal it's probably easier to just order a kit.

Is it black plastic or is it plastic painted black? Some light sanding, primer and paint would probably work to turn it white if it's black ABS. But if it's been painted black it'll need more work.

Yep, normal wear and tear from trooping lets the armor weather naturally

Got it, Robert

Welcome aboard, Brad. Join Allen in the docking bay for immediate action

TK 4510 sells neck trim, and I think you can also order it from Seals-Direct, but I'm not sure on the item number. http://members.cox.net/appstronaut/tk4510_decals.html

Head to the docking bay, trooper. You've been cleared for action

The screen captures will show you how many ridges should protrude onto the chest plate. I think Terry's tutorials in the Academy have the info too

I saw that movie when I was 3 or 4. The best part was the empty suits of armor marching around fighting!

The weathering on the hockey mask is really cool.

I've used Rusto paints and then a Krylon clear coat before with no issues. I would wait plenty of time before painting with the other brand and try it on some scrap plastic just to be safe.

Looking forward to it, Lou
