Hey. I like the 850 helmet mainly for their use of black. Not a fan of the silver details on some others Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are pics of my finished blasters E11d Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not according to crl mate. Only thumb and forefinger are leather, however the highlanders middle finger is leather Here the two together for comparison The endor finders gloves are really awesome and very comfy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Masked off and painted the backplate and chest plate. Thighs have been masked off and I painted the ribbed sections to appear like rubber as per crl Helmet is finished. Will prob need to fine tune the padding etc. The helmet is pretty front end heavy so it is hard to stop it sitting on your nose. I decided to not paint any silver on the helmet. My inspiration has long been on this build this picture No silver on the helmet, buckles or forearm rockets. The greeblies are done in gunmetal which is very close to the anovos. Also masked off and painted contrasting colours in the indents of the forearms as per crl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great stuff Jim. Think u have made the right choice. As you said there is a fair few Cleared WIPs here with jim tripon kits for you to refer to. Ones I can think of are Nick Scofield, Lancer and rion Hahn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And also they painted my 96% helmet. I got the faceplate last week so did the asymmetrical paint already. Just need to paint the matt black band glue the two parts. Thinking also of plasti-dipping the inside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Received 95% of my bits from the bodyshop. They are only managing to squeeze it in on Fridays. They are doing me a favour so I can't push them but should be completely done this week [emoji15][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey thx mate. I did use your guide for the strapping. The main body of the chest rig was a condor rig I got in desert colour and dyed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got my first batch of painted parts. So happy I spent all that extra time with the finish. Helmet has gone so well. Next to my anovos it makes the anovos look dull and orange peeled! It's almost too good. Gona be a shame to scuff it all up trooping They should be painting more today. I have started on the asymmetrical panels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmm. Think I have seen some on Etsy. I am not a fan of bubble lenses as it distorts my view. I use a cut to shape welders mask from amazon. Shade 5. I found the curve of the mask worked well for the curve of my helmet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Tom. Myself and lots of others have gloves from endor finders. Very comfortable and accurate gloves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the ab plate finished. Have also reprinted several other bits to be better sized to me. Biceps were always to big as were the shoulder bells. Luckily with all these incorrectly sized bits I very nearly have enough to go on my mannequin 🙄😬 I eventually got the lot off to the bodyshop to be painted high gloss black to start. They are doing it as a favour so it is being fit in where they can so is taking awhile. In the meantime I have taken up sewing. Not my most fun thing. Especially some of the fiddly bits that hold the grenades but pretty happy with the outcome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey dude. If u are aiming to clear this to troop I would first reach out to your gml to check they are happy with the files you are using. Geoffros files have a lot of inaccuracies u can see from Just from what u have done so far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some great progress here. Well done so far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. The best files I have found are from Tom Campbell. He is a forum member so u should be able to contact him by pm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What lancer said. Saved me the typing. First thing first is finding out if an anovos fits u Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey. I cannot speak for Jim's kit as I don't have one. However if it's anything like 3d print then I started with 120grit, then 240, 400, 1000 and upto 3000 on the helmet. As for Romans kit there is no build instructions I know of but I built one from reference pics. What were u unsure on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey greido. Welcome onboard. I personally like the look of the 850 helmet. Saw a pic posted the other day with the colour scheme. They have done the vents and front greeblies in black rather than silvery like most makers do. A few of us have armour from Armoryshop. Are u getting raw print of painted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any news Rion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mate I hear that. I spent so long needle filing the details back in and they still looked poor. Got that plate glued in a def think the way that sits is more accurate. Lots more of fibreglass to do on inside. Then snaps, filler and so much sanding âœŠï¸ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's good to hear buddy. That's one of the reasons I like to put lots of updates on as I hope it helps others. To be honest one of the reasons I printed the newer ab version was after seeing your print of it and liking how more pronounced the details are Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think the details may soften a bit more with filling and sanding etc. A better CE pic of the ab plate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
