Woodo007[TX] Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Good update. Just what I needed to see as motivation! 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 Link to comment

Now I understand your comment about the "extended" ab plate. I didn't know what you were talking about until I saw your post above. I didn't feel like being the dumb noob that was asking a dumb question on that particular day, either. But now I know! Link to comment
nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 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 Yeah I think you're right. Those details were a bitch to get right after the resin. I had to redo it all with a Dremel and file set. Your kit is looking great! Watching with great interest Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 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 1 Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 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 1 Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 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 Link to comment
Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Looking awesome! You sewed your own chest rig, just curious if you used my DIY thread? It looks great! Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Looking awesome! You sewed your own chest rig, just curious if you used my DIY thread? It looks great! 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 1 Link to comment
nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Looking really good Nick! Keep it up! Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 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 Link to comment
Woodo007[TX] Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 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 Link to comment

Woodo007[TX] Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 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 crlHelmet 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 crlSent from my iPhone using TapatalkSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
