Darth Voorhees

yea it really sucks because i was almost there.... but yes, once i have a dayjob again and my costume prop stuff becomes a supliment again rather than feedng us, i will likely start this again.

aaaaand guess what? I have to sell this :/ Finances arent good on the homefront right now and its in our best interest fro me to let all my unfinished projects go. So i will be putting it up for sale in the next few dfays. If someone is interested now, feel free to PM me for more details. :/

Still going..just very slow. :/ So far the chest, shoulders, fore-arms, tank, knees and helmet are all painted. Im usung my regular scouts jumpsuit and vest, so thats taken care off. I do still need to make the cummerbund, pouches, and tBoots. Bi-ceps, belt, back, and drop boxes still need to be painted. Got lots goin on, but i didnt forget about this!

I am also always gappy to help! hahaha Well, nothing more to show, but hoping next week some time i can get the shoulders and chest sanded and painted

i know i know..see i told ya it would be slow moving lol I did however, sand and paint the knees today. So i have the tank, helmet, knees and forearms done. Still have a little ways to go, but hey..im a busy fella lol

I actually need to get back on this! Been busy with other projects....but i have not given up! I may paint up another armor piece tomorrow since i'll be painting stuff all day

Thanks Nick! I got the forearms fixed and painted last week, but havent had a chance to take a pic. Hoping to get a little more done in the coming week

haha well my normal pace, if i had nothing else to do, id be working on it nonstop for 3-4 days and it would be almost done lol. The helmet was built a while ago, so i just needed to paint it . Everytime i work in the shop, the end of the day is 1 piece from this to get fixed/sanded/painted.

Ok so before i painted the helmet i added earth magnets to hold the face plate closed. I have this on my LW on my regular scout, and i did it on my wifes KS as well. It works great so i wanted to do it again. Here is where i put them. Then i sanded the entire helmet with 400 grit sandpaper, and then 600 grit. I wiped it down with a paper towel that was dampened with #1 novus. It repels dust so i get a clean finish. Pictures are'nt doing this justice, but here's what it looks like

Im hoping so! I managed to get the helmet painted today, but i left it in the shop to fully cure, i think it looks better than the hump...i may do a light sand on the hump again and shoot another coat of satin on it. I'll have pics of the helmet tomorrow

i know this is slow moving, but hey i got clients stuff to finish too lol! So i got my black vinyl for the boots, cotton webbing for the drop boxes and chest/back connection, black nylon webbing for the belt and some velcro and the 4 clips for the drop box straps (not pictured) . I also painted the first piece of armor satin black. I sanded off the wrnkle, and glued behind it to make sure it doesnt split. I sanded the entore piece with 60grit, then 100, then 220 then 400. Then i primed it. Hit it with 0000 steel wool, primed again and then shot 2 coats of fusion satin black.

looks great! I did a similar quick fix to my scout bund and its much better. When i do the one for the TX i will likely do it the same. Is it still sewn to the bund or a separate piece you velcroed on. Im gonna guess you didnt sew it to the vest or anything that extreme lol.

Thats exactly what i was thinking Chef
