KarinOlava Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks good to know I'm on the right path. BTW guys. How many mm are the over- and under arm strips suppose to be? Can't seem to remember :S Edited June 12, 2011 by Acima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 15 mm on the arms. 20 mm on the legs, except for the back of the shins, where you can go 25 mm to cover the opening a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarinOlava Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks alot Billhag it's nice to hear I'm on the right track. So, just been trimming a bit more lately, not so fun to show pictures of that.. just want to show what I've been working on tonight: Well, this is also trimming, but I think they are cute and wanted to show them^^ Also found these to be very fun to trim down. In other news, my tubes of E6000 has arrived, so when I get my magnets I'll start glueing. Yay! And got humbrol paints yesterday so will be painting the details on my helmet and ab buttons very soon.

Thanks! I'll be going with midnight blue for the ab buttons and french blue for the tube stripes. Seems to be the most correct to me.

KarinOlava Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ok, did some more work last night.

KarinOlava Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Just started the prosess of painting all the details on the helmet. As I want the screen accurate look I'll be doing all the handpainting myself Using Pandatroopers painting method and have just finished the first coat of the black outline. Now I'll be drinking some coffee while watching the paint dry. Edited June 21, 2011 by Acima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22[TK] Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I noticed the paint dries easily on a sunny day... so if you paint, make sure it's sunny! And make sure to use some sunglasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarinOlava Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 As watching paint dry is rather tedious, I amuse myself by taking pictures^^ First coat of grey is done. Might go over the black line again when I'm finished with the grey. Feeling it's a tiny bit on the thin side.. might just be me who is picky though.
