TK under way

[Ravenwood[TK]]

I am almost done with the blaster. I got a couple of coats of satin black on the E11 then one coat of clear coat. I have a recticle decal in the mail to finish it of then its done.

Cool, keep it up! Looks nice! Get a d-ring on there and you're all set.

I recommend - but totally optional - you replace all velcro with snaps.

[Ravenwood[TK]]

Thanks Ingrid, It has a D ring on the end already, just terrible photo taking lol. I think I will get rid of all the Velcro and glue (apart from the back of the greaves) and I have been reading and looking at snap and strapping threads for weeks, and this looks like the best way to go, a little more more but I think it will hold up better during troops. I have started to remove the Velcro from the armor already on some pieces. Really excited to get started on the armor, just waiting for some supply's to come.

[Ravenwood[TK]]

OK just waiting for the reticle decal for the scope but other wise done... what do you think?

 

[Ravenwood[TK]]

While I had the camera out I snapped a shot of the gap between the ab and kidney plates. Yes I am not a skinny trooper lol so I am thinking as the gap is close to 4" I will use the white sign idea that some people shared with me unless any one has other ideas?

I got the rest of my supplies today, so now can move on. I have stripped the helmet and rebuilt it, so I think I will finish that first then move on to the armor rebuild.

Looking good so far, good luck with your build

Hello and welcome, Jeremy! Ugh, so jealous. I am waiting on my armor. haha Rob at RT-Mod is a busy man. Looking good though!

[KO22[TK]]

Hey Jeremy looks like you're off to a good start. I have armor coming in soon myself and I am also from SE Minnesota. Where did you get your straps? I was out looking for supplies yesterday and came up empty.

[NIMBUS]

Welcome Jeremy. Your in good hands and off to a terrific start.

[LadyInWhite[TK]]

Kelly, you can find canvas or elastic strips at any fabric store.

I'm in Kenyon not far from Rochester, where are you ? I found all the canvas and elastic straps at Joann Fabrics in Apple Valley I also got the heavy duty snaps and snap pliers there too. I did order some incidentals from Trooperbay too. I want to finish my helmet before I move on to the armor, but Halloween is a busy time for me. We throw huge Halloween party and I put up alot of props and decorations inside and out side. I am going to build a full size TARDIS this year to stand by the grave yard LOL not sure how its going to turn out, but it should be fun.

I'm in Red Wing. I went to the same store but I was told to get webbing instead of elastic and I couldn't find it. I almost got the elastic but I thought I would wait. I also looked at trooperbay and may be putting an order in soon. I finished my helmet a while ago which was a fun build. I used Pandatroopers thread and it went pretty well. It isn't perfect but for a first time build I think it turned out fine. Most people who have seen it liked it but compared to some I have seen on this sight it has a ways to go (no frills yet). I am hoping the rest of the armor gets here soon. I have been told that the kit will be done later this week. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out, I might be asking you some question too!

Just thought I should mention you should move your build from the new member area to one of the build sections, Nice work so far

I can do that, but how do you move a thread?

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Either start a new thread or contact the forum moderator http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=stats&do=leaders
