Just watched the 2 eps with the tac team in and as black watch said they dont light up at all. You could say they need to be acrylic like say with the tie chest square things but then they could be painted plastic. If they dont light up , or the forearm torch then couldnt you make the painted a lvl 1 and the coloured acrylic a higher one? As for the battery , something the shape of the 9v covered in white tape but no need to have to actually connected then?

Thanks David

Been very slow progress although im now nearly 2 stone lighter than I was with much more to go. Finally got a new job which while part time is better than nothing and can get full time if I really need to. Been working in parts on the armour to fit me as the prongs were now way too long , will sort sides later , so have cut them down and reshaping. Saw on an ICAT post that someone had used picture hooks to use to secure the prongs into the chest so ill be stealing that idea. I've rough cut the vents out and they will be filed down properly. My issue is with the hose connectors. I cant see anywhere and certainly not on the crl to see if they are just fitted on or if the holes inside them when looking down vertically are drilled out or just left solid. Not fussed with way and I assume if its not mentioned then the GML wont be looking for it but id like to be sure

That’s gonna be tricky. Might be one where it has a few pics as to help but don’t envy you guys writing it

Sorry if silly question but this all relates to the TA's in general or just the team that storms the safe house. Just that if I remember the ones in the gallery and hospital are clean and shiny?

nice!!

hope so

Just found this work of art over on FB It's the MCM designs ISB agent blaster. WANT https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16oWa3czPx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

That makes a lot of sense. Makes it easier for builders and GMLs. Folk can just scale the biceps as they would currently then.

Is there a file available for that remodelled neck , im seriously considering making a replacement as one of my prongs snapped in transit. ive wrapped in in cloth and glued and was hoping to claim as weathering etc but putting it on is a PITA and a TPU one that has better prongs is very much a better want for me now.

Not a Scooby. Radio silence as far as I know , but that means nowt.

makes sense

How we getting on with the update even if just to add the pistol and e11?

That is weird but as with most things if it cant be seen then it doesn't exist so do we allow gaps or accept that some folk might need to use cord / elastic to keep it shut and just state it MUST be hidden etc

I had some before I had to sell it on , a me issue NOT the armour. it ticked all the boxes as far as what I checked against on the crl. the back innert boxes are separate so are made as resin boxes so if theres any issue you can get the right ones and drop them in.

Started to paint shoulder bell. Scuffed and tack clothed why’s it goin on funny notices i Let it dry then brought it inside. Sees humidity of 77% That’ll do it Bugger

Thats just amazing

need to sort out paints etc for the very slimey shoulder straps... Pretty sure I can remember what @Dropkick said I needed lol

Shoulder strap cut outs made and cut and "j" hooks made in the biceps.

Bit of progress Rear of back armour the box greeblies were a bit soft so printed very very thin ones and iterated till got right size and thickness. Collar prongs weren’t the best so drilled out receptacle in chest and sanded them with dremel wheel so now fit really well. Will see if need to do anything at first proper fit when have soft goods. Opened up slots for the shoulder straps so now waiting for the MPSB straps and we can take a look at that. Buckles had the slot pre cut so that is one less job. Have pics and will upload later Still need to square the two holes

The back box greeblies were a bit blobby so sized and printed some very thin covers of the parts to sharpen it up but still stay within the box

Daft little update. Biceps glued together , still gonna add a slit and have it flex at the back and then use either rubber cord or elastic. Gave everything a soft wipe with a scotch pad ( the red ones ) to add a better key and weather depending it’s primer time. Can add the colour to all the bits and stilll then mod the shoulder bridges and sides when I need to Have ordered some shoulder straps from Paul prentice and have the bell brackets and elastic strap already. have the webbing and snaps ready to go and more industrial Velcro than I know what to do with. Tempted to use the Velcro hook the bells up rather than a snap to make it easier to dress and connect the bell to the bicep in the usual way.

Hhahaa. All good man Wrapped a tiny bit of t shirt round it and drowned it in superglue. I could sand it off but its now going to be weathering lol

Flippin eck thats amazing.. Didn't realise just how off axis the scopes were
