rwmead10 Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 I splurged and got a Quest Designs E-11 to upgrade my hasbro conversion. Does anyone know where to get the correct sized spring to add? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rwmead10 Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 Well I’m back. Life has been crazy since my last post. On with the torso assembly. I cut some strips to help in gluing the snap plates. I am starting the strapping on the chest, back plate and shoulders. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwmead10 Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 I guess I am rusty. After months of researching the measurements for the butt plate male snaps, I measured 5/8” and 1 3/8” and centered the holes. If you can see from my picture, I actually measured 1 3/16” which put the holes too close together...something i didn’t notice until after drilling the holes. After drilling the correct hole, you could see light through the extra hole that wasn't covered by the snap. So I got a leather punch, punched an ABS plug and used the snap to keep it in place. The process was infinitely more frustrating than that. Hopefully this passes approvals. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwmead10 Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 More progress. I used the back plate and butt plate to line up the snaps on the kidney. Also glued the snap plates for the shoulder bells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Nice positioning of the snap plates to the ends of the butt plate, many position these too short and the butt plate can flare out. Nice work, coming along great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
