CableGuy[Admin] Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hi Daniel Looking awesome, as always!! Just a quick question - how will this stand up to a wet troop? Are you sealing the weathering with something on top of the hairspray? Thanks in advance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sealing the weathering with something on top of the hairspray? Turns out not that great, to my surprise I might ad.....it was raining that day and I took the pics outside and there were "rain-drops" pretty much all over...easy fix by dabbing it with a sponge but weren`t expecting that.....I had an efx helmet that I did the same to and had a hard (well...) time removing the weathering and using warm water alone didn`t cut it so based on that I thought it would hold up better (different hair spray might play a part).....but still not planning on adding a top coat, although I´m not planning on removing the weathering I still want the option. Solution - going heavier with the hairspray and see how that holds up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook1138[TK] Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hey Daniel, I see you used a piece of ABS to help secure the kidney-to-ab straps (upper right of picture). I've seen this in a number of builds. What is the benefit of this? Is it because you used elastic? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my other suits I noticed after a while that the small washers started to eat through said elastic and this was a way to prevent that and using a full strip instead of tabs makes it more rigid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
