Barcode Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Im about finished with my complete build for my fiancé (Minus the helmet). Sorry I did not make a build thread, that was due to no decent camera and no photo bucket or however you post pics. (Im indeed, silly). Any who...... I did not receive a flat white piece or two rings for my TD. How did you guys make those pieces? Im guessing heat bend a flat piece of ABS over the TD tube? Im lost here. Any help would be stellar. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzb Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Use scrap strips. I used a ruler and made strips about 2mm wide with a sharp knife. Just glue em on with CA and make sure the seam is pointing at the backplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzb Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, I just used a flat sheet of ABS, think it was the leftover from the coverstrips/shims that came with the kit. I can't recall the exact dimensions, but I want to say it was like 4x5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trishaleam[TK] Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Don't know how I missed this discussion. I've been struggling with this last detail also. I ended up messaging Kevin because I had assumed there had to be a piece missing or something but he told me that I could use the left over ABS to make the rectangle and rings. I'm also having a hard time making the caps fit but I'm going to try sanding the edges down tonight and see if I can make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
