Haribon72[TK] Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Updating my Side Shims using Apoxie Sculpt NOTE: This shim pattern is no longer acceptable. Please do not follow my shim example below. Its no longer acceptable. I will try to update this post when I get the chance. Thank you! 04/08/2016. This is not a requirement, but I would like a clean look on my torso area. I originally used ABS paste to fill in the seam between my cod plate and side shims. I'm using Apoxie Sculpt again to update my side shims for EIB and Centurion Application (again...not a requirement but I want a clean look). Here's how I did it: After applying Apoxie Sculpt 24 hours ago, its time to scrap off and smooth out to an even look. I used my handy Kreshaw knife to remove the excess clay Next I used plumbers sanding tape to smooth out the roughness Finally, I used a fine sanding block to give it a final smooth finish Now its ready to paint. Again, I'm using Rust-Oleum 2x Ultra Cover Paint + Primer Gloss White. This is a perfect color match for NE armor. After two coats, this is the current look. You can't tell the shims are there anymore unless your getting a close up look. Finished. Edited April 8, 2016 by Haribon72 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazid[TK] Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Very nice job on that seam. I doubt anyone will see it, unless you point it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 EXPERT INFANTRY BADGE COMPLETED TODAY! Time to work on the final level . . . CENTURION . . . 1. Analysis the ANH Centurion requirements carefully. I don't want to miss anything. 2. Knock down the gold on the scope of your blaster. The scope needs to be darken with no gold and battle weathered for great effects. 3. I have been given the challenge to get into my armor in less than eight minutes. I will make some changes to my approach (challenge given by my fellow GGG members). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Fixing the ANH Holster Holster straps need to be in the back instead of the front. I was too lazy to go get 9mm rivets. Instead I had Chicago screws in the garage. DONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
