IcyTrooper

Thanks for the tips, Steve! I think that I might attempt a 400 (dry) and then 800 (wet) and 1500 (wet) sand and compound/polish with Novus first or as last resort move to a very carefully controlled acetone as I know that the Anovos ABS is probably going to react not so great with it since it is pretty thin. Maybe just get some acetone on the heavier glue spots that isn't directly on the ABS and be careful. I do have some of that testors black that I'm using for the thermal detonator that I guess I could really "paint over" the bad spots as a even last last resort.

Hey all! Just wondering if there is any specialty on getting CA glue prints and marks off of armor? I'm working on a shadow stormtrooper as my second kit (have a TK as well) and have made a slight mess on the backs of the thighs. Am I SOL or does a ton or rubbing alcohol work or do I send 400 grit then 1000 grit as I've read and polish with automotive or Novus (not sure which levels, I have two levels of it)? I have that testors black for the thermal detonator but I'm wondering if that is the only way to get this stuff removed. Thanks!

Mic mesh is silver. As for the rivets they would be black.

That is great info, thank you!

Hey, Tony! Thanks for the response. I didn't even think about just marking it further in and trimming on the outside of the end so that the scrap piece retained the silver marking, that is a good idea. Sometimes the simplest explanations are the ones we don't even think about haha...luckily I still have the coating on most of it. Thanks again!

I've been trooping in my Anovos TK for a bit now and finally got around to trimming out all of the pieces of this TX, but need a tip or two for marking trim lines (when fitting). I tried a pencil on it but obviously that is a little harder to see on the black with lighting, so I'm seeing what everyone else did to make the lines visible? I've seen painters tape and lines to mark it, but not sure if there was another trick. I was thinking chalk may work too but don't want to do permanent silver marker just in case the plastic has any holes.

Pretty exciting!

An Any updates with this?!

Awesome work man! Get that approval.

Completely, badass! I may give this a whirl once I get my shadow stormtrooper put together and order a regular stormtrooper suit.

This is awesome! Keep up the good work! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I'm patiently awaiting my Anovos armor to get here and I'll try and do the same and document it.
