Chefjake88 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Got more clamps today but girlfriend was off work too so spent the day at Busch Gardens. Hoping to knock out a hour or two now that we are home Also ordered some rare earth magnets from Amazon today. Do have a quick question as I move to the biceps. Which is which? One is more squared and one is rounded. Trooperbay didn't say in the video and still currently looking on here. Just asking in case someone responds before I find the answer.

Coastertk[TK] Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Square is "Right", Rounded is "Left" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I just got an email from ATA last night that he was about to start my armor. I had forgot I put myself on his list a year ago but ended up getting my MTK the day after. Tried to beg and plead with my wife but she said no. Good luck with your build!

Chefjake88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks coastertk. But got some more work in tonight got my biceps fully trimmed and glued the first finishing strip on each side. Need to wait and see for the back on each thou because I'm probably going to have to go biggest the 5/8" for it to fit also got my shoulders rough trimmed and started rough trimming the lower legs. Off all day Friday and it's payday so hoping to get a lot done then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefjake88 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Spent the morning get some more supplies. Then spent most of the afternoon building. Glued more the back finishing strips on the biceps and the front and back on the lower legs. Got a dremel finally and that makes a world of differences sanding. Also ordered the strapping kit from mrnostripes by next run isn't until next month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefjake88 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Got some more work done today. Forearms and biceps are fully done!! Calves just need Velcro on the back. Quads and knee plate are rough trimmed. Add foam to the fore arms and the shoulder strap hooks to the biceps.

Chefjake88 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Still have a little trimming on the ears and add the bottom screws, and of course painting but other then that how does it look. Anything I need to fix or change? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_09[TK] Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 the teeth look a bit "twinkied" up to you how you want it to look, but traditionally they are squared at the edges. Also, the mic tips should be painted before installing them. Looks good so far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
