Geekin' Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 So ...does that mean AP , and WTF are kissing cousin's?!! Lol Seriously, any question on the "origins" of this can be confirmed, by Walt, I think he still speaks to Gino once and a while.. Quote

Geekin' Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Posted May 6, 2015 The rights understood, he was allowed to recast it? Correct? Quote

walt[501st] Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 Hi !! I can't recast the mold the way Gino made it. But we have a great armor tree that a lot of people put a lot of time it to it. And did an amazing job to. You guys rock. But this is not about who recanted who and I don't what to kill a thread with that. Mark you can on me anytime. I am a cool dude. Back to the show Quote

ABS80 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 hey Walt no harm done it makes sense both are very similar since they originate from same source which was the TE I had no idea you had the Gino molds so all is good Mark Quote

Pghtoolman's shin armor idea very cool!! Also snaps and straps VS. The wire and rivets on the torso. ..Thanks guys !!! Back on task tonight!!! Quote
Geekin' Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Got some initial trimming done today, most of the lines in the molds, made cutting easy! Still some final trimming/sanding to go but I can start assembly!! Really nice kit Walt!! Edited May 18, 2015 by Geekin' Quote

Geekin' Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Posted June 5, 2015 More build pics up in the next few days... Quote
Geekin' Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 I got a bit rushed, and I'm not very happy with my return edges, No problem with the kit it's the assembler in this case Maybe some more sanding, but the arms are together, working on the legs. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Without closer examination they look great to me 1 Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 I agree, seems well done to me. It's nice to see a WTF build! 1 Quote
Geekin' Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Posted July 13, 2015 Hi all, Quite a few days have passed, and I've been caught up getting a couple other kits in for approval but I got a small bit of work done this weekend. So far that's where we are. Walt thanks!!This kit is nice to assemble the customer service is a bit snarky tho...lol more work on it this week!! I'd be glad to get any specific detail pics just let me know. ( legal disclaimer ) this build is not valid in all fifty states, certain rules and conditions may apply. If you notice any swelling or rash, see your health care provider as soon as possible. WTF FTW Quote
