Locitus[Admin] Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm lucky to be able to do this stuff outside at the end of November. Nice and dry and a warm 23°C Not fair! Here it's like -3 Celcius Your build looks like it's going real quick, and it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Not fair! Here it's like -3 Celcius Your build looks like it's going real quick, and it looks great. Thanks, Mathias. It's been so easy to put together. The material is so thin it's like cutting paper (not one blister!) and I didn't have to do any real fitting and measuring; I just matched it all up to my other kit. It's another glorious day today so I was able to give my armour it's coat of gloss white. It's looking pretty good considering it's me first attempt (Pete's tutoral helped a lot) but a bit of wet sanding when the paint has cured will be needed to finish it off and iron out a few rough bits. Top one, nice one get sorted ... hardcore, you know the score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich330[TK] Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I sanded down all my rough bits of paint work and decided the whoel kit needed another coat of gloss as it was still a bit patchy in some areas. I now have a fully assembled and painted set of armour. Just waiting on my strapping kit now and in the meantime I need to add a bit of dirt to the finish. A few more pics ...

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Looking good Rick! But you know the sniper knee plate sits perfectly good with some E6000. No rivets needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Time for a date with the drill and some putty. Hope you still have some spare paint in those cans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Time for a date with the drill and some putty. Hope you still have some spare paint in those cans Sorted already. Drilled out the rivets (yes at this time of night! ) no problem. Welded some plastic into the holes and will refinish it tomorrow. Ammo pack safely on the right leg. Lord only knows how that happened. I could understand it if I'd put the sniper plate on the right shin. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand it if I'd put the sniper plate on the right shin. Never mind. That was quick! Might have to have a look at that later too. Just clamp it down and run some glue in between the pieces. It's super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich330[TK] Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) This is what a few of the parts are looking like after a date with "La Opinión de Tenerife". Would you believe I even had to go out and buy a newspaper especially. The missus had used all the old newspaper in the house to make baskets!
