Chopper857[TK] Posted February 13, 2019 Report Posted February 13, 2019 What your suggesting is what a normal TK runs with, with regards to the legacy there are returns although the requirement is not clearly listed in the crl its these little differences that make the legacy stand out In my opinion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Posted February 14, 2019 Not much to report today, except more trimming and sanding. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Posted February 20, 2019 Decided to start work on the bucket today. Trimmed the front and back pieces along the lines, making sure the bottom would face my neck.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Posted February 20, 2019 Added the brow and trimmed it, bolted the pieces together (although I need to either trim the screws or find shorter ones) and I rough cut the teeth and eye holes. Still need to fine trim them and sand them down. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Posted February 21, 2019 Bought me a little file set for under $4 at Lowe's today. Was able to sand the teeth and eye sockets. Looks much better now.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Posted February 24, 2019 Taped everything up last night, prepping it for paint. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Posted February 24, 2019 Painted it, and let it sit overnight. Used Testors paint, glossy black and 1138 glossy gray. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Posted February 24, 2019 Removed the tape this afternoon. Traps came out pretty good, I guess. Teeth need some cleaning up. Will buy mineral spirits tomorrow to fix them. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Posted February 28, 2019 Didn't have the confidence to paint the tube stripes, so I ordered them from Trooperbay. Pretty easy to affix. Went with the edge of the cheek and went straight back to the ear from there. Went with 11 stripes. CRL says between 9 & 16. 11 just felt right. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 With the stripes you don't want them on an angle, should really be a pencil width all the way. You could if careful peel them off, I'd apply some tape over the top first to keep the spacing then gently peel backwards For cleaning any excess paint I find toothpicks really helpful. 1 Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Posted February 28, 2019 Hovi tips were a lot easier to make than I imagined. I found that the butt end of my mini screwdriver fit perfectly into the hovi tip hole. So I cut the mesh in half and made two little "cups" using the screwdriver handle. I trimmed off excess mesh and it fit perfectly. Before I glued them in, though, I drilled a hole into the black tip, right in the center. I also drilled a hole into the mask where tips attach. I screwed them in and painted the screws black. Then I smeared a bit of e6000 on the inside of the tip and applied the mesh. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote

Lucy[TK] Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Posted March 18, 2019 Did a little more work on my bucket today. Attempted to fix the teeth paint, vocoder paint, and also taped up the ears and painted those. Oh, I also respaced the stripes. Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Posted March 18, 2019 Teeth and vocoder are not as good as I'd like. But I will keep adjusting and repainting as I have the time. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
Lucy[TK] Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Posted March 19, 2019 Bought a screen repair kit because I didn't want to buy a whole roll of screen. It came with a tacky adhesive backing which I just rolled off. I then placed it over the frown and used a silver sharpie to mark the corners. I pretty much eyeballed it, trimmed it, and smeared e6000 on the edges. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
