gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 18, 2025 Report Posted September 18, 2025 Looking good, in case it has not been mentioned you should sand with coarse sandpaper any areas glue will be applied for extra adhesion, gives something to grip to 1 Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted September 19, 2025 Report Posted September 19, 2025 Looking great so far, Dave! I like the fact that you are using interior cover strips (something I always suggest) and that you have removed a lot of the return edges. I know it's early in the game, but I do hope that you will be aiming for Expert Infantry level and then Centurion! As for the return edges, be careful not to remove all of them in some areas, and in some you can remove more. Example- For Centurion level you should remove 100% of the ones around the wrist openings. This includes the front of the "hump". Details like this are easier to do before rather than after. Here are some screen used examples: In some areas you will want to leave them entirely it or do minimal trimming. When in doubt, post up a pic before removing any material and we will help guide you. I have a thread here which will give you a better idea on what I mean. Keep up the awesome job and keep those pics coming! 1 Quote
