Scubacat[TX] Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ok, time for the last bits and snaps to be put together. Got a new under armor combo so that it does not hand so loosely on my body. Also have snaps that I am putting on. Going to close the drop boxes and hopefully get a material to cover my belt in the shiny material. Going to try to paint my pauldron. Got my BFG that is a sci-fire DLT 19. I am going to try to go for specialist if there is anything else needed. Snaps are proving to be a bit of a problem though. I am not sure where exactly I need them but I am going to try to place them in the right areas for comfort and approval. Link to comment
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 maybe mario can take pictures of where i put my snaps Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yeah. I have a few problems with my armor but it is slowly getting worked out. Need to get some more strapping so that it does not shift as much in some areas. Link to comment

Griffin-X[501st] Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great work Torri! Are you going to paint the rivets gloss black? Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Riveting is a pain, but at least you don't have to bondo anything for this suit. Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 More progress pictures!!! And yes! I am going for specialist! Here are the closed drop boxes finished!!! Â Â Closed drop boxes finished!!! Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ok, have a bit of an SOS here! How am I supposed to use the snaps if they keep popping off of the armor from the super glue!?! Does everyone just have one snap or two? Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ok, I fixed the problem with the super glue and I have almost all of the snaps finished. Had a few drips though with the super glue. Nothing I could not fix.....except for it going on my jeans. It is a good thing I have a specific pair of work jeans. I am going to try to make a slip cover for the shiny patten leather to go over my belt. If not I will just glue it down. We will see. This week is going to be a fun time trying to get everything ready for specialist! Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 So as many of you know......or will know I am pretty small in the body size area. I recently got my hand plates down to my size and tried to get the return edges back on them. Hope this is good but I may need to go over them with sanding and then polishing to get that shine back. What do you thing so far? (Also I just noticed that cut on my hand and I have NO idea where it came from) Â Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks! I had to stop everything for a little bit but as soon as I get home today from work I will be uploading a bunch of pictures on the snaps and such. Link to comment
TK-1422[TX] Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If you're in Colorado, we have an Open Cockpit troop at the Wings over the Rockies Air Museum in Lowry (Denver) this Saturday. If interested, LMK. I'm in the Springs, so if you need a ride, I can get us all there. Link to comment
Scubacat[TX] Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I will actually be working this Saturday for most of the day in Englewood, so unfortunately I can't make it but I will be down for Galaxy Fest and I will be at the Ice Castles photo shoot. Link to comment
