blueboxer[501st] Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm also working on getting the same ABS that the FX/AM kits are made from to offer upgrade helmets that are a perfect color match. Terrell, you could definitely sign me up for a ABS helmet kit... awesome job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'll take an AM colored stunt lid when they are available. And after the wife is at work, I'll order a full kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTrooper Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Awesome! Love the fixing you've done to some of the parts there T. Looks great! Will be nice to see these up and walking around. Well I have to thank Kevin at OSCS for giving me the nudge and some guidance to start overhauling and sharpening molds. It's a start, but I still have much more to do. Looking sweet, and sharp bro. I can´t wait to see a fully assembled one, walking around as well The ab looks great (maybe you could make the string over the box longer, and add the cleft in the tk/TD 4/3 dot area, it should be easy and quick and give a lot too) I've got the cleft penciled in, but just haven't carved it out yet. Yes it the rectangle needs to be made taller to be accurate and accommodate the button strip while letting the cleft underneath still be seen. Just like the strip on top of the middle button box needs to be extended and fade into the ab plate. All in due time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcode[501st] Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can't wait to see the kit in person tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Much will come just from the new vac setup. The other weekend I compared three ab plates: 1) Original TE2 2) Older ATA 3) New ATA pulled on your new setup There is a huge difference between the TE2 and your older ATA - the ATA while thicker yet more supple didn't have the detail the TE2 had, even to an untrained eye. The new ab plate you pulled - even with no changes to the mold - looks identical to the TE2. So even just from updating your vac machine, the level of detail want up a significant amount.

Actually the ab plate did get a sharpness and detail overhaul, just like the back plate. The rest of the kit is sharper using most of the original molds from before.
