TK 2759[501st] Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 There's always the one next year, take a break, get back to it, don't rush... Lots more Cons in future, and they're not the only troop we do either... Tonight hitting up Wal-Mart in helping out CMN, Children's Miracle Network... There are a ton of troops, so just be ready on your time, not ours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Helmet exterior painted and decal'd and arm armour closed and stripped. No pics of the arms yet. I'm trying to go for a slightly batteworn look so I used some diluted black paint to mimic some soot marks.

Brattie[TK] Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Did you guys hear about the guy that sliced his hand wide open during the trimming and cutting of his kit???!!

Pyrates[TK] Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'll admit I used my exacto very rarely- I liked the control and accuracy in the cuts with my Wiss snips (yes it was a bit slower but no leaks and no accidental scratches). To each their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
