Clamps[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Pretty soon you will have to put down the Xbox controller and get to work. Toronto Comicon is an achievable timeline to be approved and ready to roll if the armour arrives before February. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The suspense is killing me! Right there with you - last night I started prepping my the build threads that I'm going to use to help me build to alleviate the anxiousness lol - and watching your guys threads & email like a hawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I started a grade 12 Math course last night. They said to do one lesson a week but I did 2.5 in less than 24 hours. 17.5 to go lol. Only credit I need so I'm doing it fast as hell. <br> I'm hoping to get into college as a CNC Programmer for a second career so it may actually help with this stuff, would definitely help building my astromech. I hated working in TV. It was a waste of an education and a decade. Always remember kids, great pay doesn't make it a great job.<br> That all being said this course takes the spot of being most important so I think something at the middle of summer might be a better aim for me.

Pyrates[TK] Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I should probably start doing the same just reading and following posts is probably not as smart as making a binder Later today I'm just going to post all the links on my build - a mini quick reference and cheat sheet guide as it were lol (got the idea from Knockerbot's equipment list which has been very handy so cheers mate!) It also saves having to scroll through all the threads you follow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also saves having to scroll through all the threads you follow. I did the same thing, When I started I used his list as checklist for my build too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLantMAGNUS Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Great build thread! Following this with great interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hey guys so I'll do a real fix up on this thread this afternoon I think. I have some stuff to post from my blaster and I got a motorcycle suit and neck seal a few weeks ago that I'll take pics of. Thanks for following, makes it better to have people who are interested in the same things on here. It's great the support we give each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 2759[501st] Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Good to see you're still there too. We may not be so active, but we are always watching! You have been warned lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm at 6 pages before I even get the plastic parts so maybe it's me who should warn you haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Got the lenses in.... PEW PEW!! Tore them out of a cheap monocular from amazon Learned a valuable lesson though. First shape the hole to size, then wash, Paint, then glue. Don't paint first because now I will forever have white on the inside near the edge. So there is a tiny gap caused by the resin sight not actually being round the MFer is an oval. Haven't filled and painted that yet. Got too angry about it.Also the white you see is caused by my dumb butt using super glue on black paint lol. Didn't dry well at all. Then I got bored today and built a stand. Not even near finished though. I'm adding another U bolt in the back to hold up the clip and welding a ring to it to keep the blaster from falling but still making it look like it's just sitting there on flat bars I hope. I'm going for an industrial feel. Painting the base black, leaving the ubolts bare. Still need to sand, paint, trim the bolts shorter, and when I get a TK number get a little plaque made for it. Might not add a third u bolt and find a way to magically keep it up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Also that's not how the counter is going to end up looking still need to build that. Also fill the cracks around the lenses and paint them back black. Edited January 19, 2016 by Knockerbot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 just found out I have 2 more shims to do across the bottom of the kidneys. That brings the total to 6. Would it be less work to lose weight? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Also I'm going with red plastidip instead of black in my helmet. People say the black doesn't show through so there's no reason to think the red would. I just think it'll look cool lol. Both my boots and armour are now on their way. Got both tracking numbers today and yesterday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
