Alardis Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As I read at similar topics, the best way to start - is the Hand assembling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolo[TK] Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I have a CAP-W bucket and I've painted it after assembly Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Edited February 27, 2015 by Tolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alardis Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thank you for the advices! Nah, I have decided to start with the gauntlets. Firstly, I must notice that my main objective -- Centurion status achievment at the moment of whole costume approval. So, I must assemble the kit properly. Here we go. I need to trim off the returning edge of the wrist side of the gauntlets. And I did it. Now it's time to assemble it. In next days I will do the second bracer. It is almost trimmed and almost ready for assembling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutter[TK] Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 You're off to a good start! I'd suggest trimming/sanding the edge of the cover strip near your elbow end otherwise it may snag on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
