Heatshock[501st] Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) right guys - I'm bbbaaacckkk building armour again havent forgotten my TE2, but personal life/troubles means I have shelved it temporarily (all but snaps to do now ) in the mean time, a mate has asked me to help with his AP thighs. been trawling through here and stukas armour builds and the question I have has to do with the end bit of the thigh, just above the knee. For my example I will talk abt the right thigh. The outer half has a seam line, and right at the edge, the seam line has a rasied bit. On the inner half, the seam line is flat throughout its length ------- in stuka build (hope u dont mind the mention pete)- he seems to have molded the flat edge up to meet the raised edge however, I noted in TK2416 build thread (post #31)----------- that he glued the main seam line together and then filled the gap with silicone. I must admit, this is prbably the say I am going. what have the rest of you AP builders done?

stukatrooper Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I think what i did was use the modeling iron to shape the flate part.Once it was glued i used a file then sanded with wet and dry .The ANH strip covers most of the errors. i knew this was going to be a problem so on trimming i left enough material to adjust the lip again with the iron. ----------- Edited February 10, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock[501st] Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 thanks pete any1 else with alternate ways of doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooine Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hmm... Seems like I lined up the bottom and used the modeling iron on the top. That kept me from re-forming everything at the bottom. Reforming the top was much easier. Either way, you're going to have to throw some heat on that bad boy to re-shape one end or the other.

Heatshock[501st] Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 aye the top is ok - happy to put some heat onto it it was the bottom bit - think I am going with gluing it as is, and fill the gap with some milliput or silicone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
