Alright, back at it! (Sort of)
So I finished gluing the biceps together
One thing I did find was that they make them long and thin, so I had to take a heat gun to them and round them out a bit. Left is a normal one, right is one after it's been heated and shaped.
Got a package in the mail!
Time to drool... Had to sell some things, but decided to upgrade. Now I lust need to look at what it would take to make it a full DLT-19.
And for the next post... I decided to experiment with figuring out how the Det can have better boots for relatively cheap.
1st You take some TKboots that cost around $60 shipped.
Then you take these: Left is an automobile vinyl upholstery paint, right is a vinyl prep, together these things cost about $25. Cool thing is that you can probably get at least 3 sets of boots out of them.
Spray with the vinyl prep and wipe down then quickly rinse off with water. Then spray a coat of paint and let it sit for 30. They add a second coat of paint and let it rest overnight. Final outcome looks like this:
They get the trooping test this weekend, so I wouldn't run out and paint your own just yet. I'll let you all know how they hold up!
