Hi Guys I have a question about the boots. What is the best way to go by coloring boots? I live in denmark, and everytime i order something outside the EU, i wil have to pay taxes and handling fees when items arrives. This is usually around 60 USD, added to the origianally price. So i want to see if i can make that a bit cheaper by coloring the boots myself. How do i do that? Sanding the surface and paint with spraypaint or leather paint? Thanks

Had 30 min to spare yesterday, so I wanted to sand down where I pasted to holes. Some holes needs a bit more paste. 😀 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

On my TK the paste was a lot thicker, so I tried the thinner version. It was a lot easier to work with, but I need a proper tool to scoop up and aply it. When I comes to fill the helmet lines, I think this thickness is fine, but it's to thick for small holes. This is the lowest I could get the tank. Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

I've started a WIP/restoration tread about my armor. Do you by any chance know, if the knees could be approved? I know it's an old cast, but as per CRL pictures they are exactly the same. 😀 I'm working on getting some of the missing parts from SC. (Belt 5 boxes, shoulders, visor, thermal detonator kit and greeblies) Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Got some work done last night. Pasted up the holes in knees, chest and back piece. The last picture is of the knees after the paste hardened for about 1 hour. Just need some sanding and bit more paste. 🙂 For the back + tank, it couldn't right with only the rivet on buttom, so I did this. 😀 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Thanks 762. 😀 Thanks Raider, but if it won't support after a little trimming, I think I'll do one of the two solutions 😉 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Here's some after pictures. Luckily it's covered by the belt. 😉 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Thank you for your ideas. 😉 I'll think about how I will do this. Is there a correct place to rivet it on top? I don't have any greeblies yet, so it rather not place it wrong. As for the paste, I did this to my butt/kidney plate on my TK Commander. It had to be a one piece, not two. I removed some of the return edge on both pieces, and glued in some extra small cover strips. Then I put in some paste, and let I cure for 24 - 48 hours before trim and sand it. On picture 2, I found out that I've made the paste to thick, so it wouldn't be a even layer and had a lot of bubbles. But since a Commander is dirty, I could hide the "bad place" with weathering. 😠Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Forgot to answer about the filler. 😂 I'm making some ABS paste, but right now I'm working on the correct thickness of the paste. This will also be used for the helmet. Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

My thoughts was also to trim it a bit, but wasn't sure if the tank needed a replacement. 😀 How did you get the tank on there? 1 rivet at the bottom, and glueing the rest, Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Question about the tank. Do I use my dremel to align it with the back plate? Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Got some work done today. Same thing as last time. 😀 Drill out the rivets, a piece of abs on the inside. Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I will post before - meanwhile - after photos. 😀 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Thanks a lot. I think this will test my skills. Have only made one Armor, and that's a TK Commander who got approved July 31st. 😀 I think this build will be a challenge, but also a lot of fun. 😉 Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk

Here's some pics from when I got it home. (There's really a ton of work, but I'm confident that I can do it) 😠Sendt fra min SM-G930F med Tapatalk
