Looking great mate. Your hand guards are really dull and forearms could be dropped down a bit and looks like you forgot neck seal.

 

Gloss up my hand guards - check

Lower forearms - funny how the same setup looks stellar in white armor lol, check

Neck seal - oops yes (got too excited), check

I noticed that with a few pieces. Seems like more color disparity in the small pieces and the large. Like in the chest and the shoulder straps. Not the end of the world, but a little odd the kit is that way. At first, I just wondered if it was lighting.

Looking good. Congrats on submission and an awesome build that needs to be linked in the tutorial section. I'll make sure that happens.

Thanks Steve, glad to be of assistance.

Yea it's really weird. When I use the flash certain plastic change color, without it they're identical. Either this is a different ABS type or something, I can't explain it.

Are you using rare earth magnets? If so, where do you get them? I am having trouble finding a good source.

A little late to respond, but Home Depot sells them. I wipe them out each time I go lately.

11. Thermal Detonator cont....

 

11c. Assembly (using accurate screws). NOTE: As discussed in the "Helmet Update" section the machine screws used to secure the ears are incorrect for that application. The screws Anovos provided to attach the belt clips to the TD are also inaccurate however, the good news is the Anovos ear screws are a perfect match for the TD clips (Pan head and slotted).

 

In this section we'll continue with the assembly. Starting with the TD Control Panel, apply and glue panel.

Temporarily install end caps

Install clips so the the edge mates against the end caps and the control panel. Afterwards using a sharpie or similar locate and mark the clip mounting holes.

Measure mounting screw (I think they were 1/8") and drill holes in tube.

Install clips as shown. Install end caps and paint screw heads if you haven't done so already.

Can I ask you what the length of the pipe was? I didn't see it. Also, the end caps, from open end to closed what is the dimensions?

 

Thanks

The overall tube (caps installed) is roughly 7-1/2". The reason I don't mention the tube length specifically is because your pre check measurements may differ slightly than mine. The important number is the overall length.

 

"from open end to closed what is the dimensions?" Not quite sure what your asking me here.

I guess I should have posted this with question. I'm wondering how much to trim off? I have seen differing measurements for the end caps.

The easiest way is to install your caps first then take a full length measurement, minus 7-1/2" (190.5mm) from your total. Take that difference and cut the tube.

 

Ex. Caps installed 8" (203mm), after the minus you have 1/2" (13mm) you need to cut off the tube.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks again Ukswrath for all you do. It has been some time since I have been on here but couldn't have done it without your classic TK build. I finished my wife's TX in November and she just finished her 5th official troop on Force Friday.
