Matt's IAT Aldhani Build WIP

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Thats a nasty experience that ,bloody hell. Glad it was all sorted.\

The fact they are a bit loose is better than I think.   Given our weather I can  always wear thicker socks and the insoles seem really comfy.

 

Still waiting on an armourer on ISG ( ahem @SirCalcium 😉 ) but theres no rush.   blasters are off to get built ,painted and finished by a guy I know whos a puperb propmaker and the jacket and trousers will be measured and sorted in the new year so im hoping to be out and about after easter.

Reprinted the pistol.Have the cable but it's curly not sure if need to straighten.   Greeblies not shown. Will have painted black as per and then can dry brush the cooling fins if needed I guess

Power 5 also done 

 

Awaiting delivery of a curly cable to complete which is why hasn't been shown here.

 

 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Got more appropriate curly cable for the power 5. 
 

Got it secured at the din plug end but having really difficulty finding where the other end fits on this one.

Blaster has been cleared 🙂

[TreeHuggerMatt]

MP5 being redone and just for kicks printing a R1 E11b

 

 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Now it’s a waiting game.  Mostly for the jacket and pants to to the v1 cleared and also the wtf armour 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Power 5 completed and ready , holster also.

 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Initially as practise building props I built a R1 style e11 as also seen on screen during " the eye " so may as well add the pics eh.

 

Should mention has since had the "bolt" painted silver

 

 

 

 

Also realised that I have no weathering pics so will get and add them 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Updated E11-B

IAT Armour being boxed as of this post ready to shop.. next step BBB day.

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Exciting times.  Second mock up was spot on so uniform being made for for and finish. Then final try on and last touches / pics 

 

BBB from Walt now in country and on way upto mine 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

BBB Day!!

 

pics to follow 

 

 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Here’s all the bits. Now he also sent the shins and I have the two small straps for the lower shin but 4 of what look like the larger upper ones and I can’t see any sign of the ones for the chest / back as of now.   
 

I’ve asked Walt and I guess the worst is I either get some sorted or he sends them but least there’s always the v1 lol

Hhaha.  Yup  I got 4 shin straps and no chest straps and hose mounts   
 

Conversation being had now 

 

 

 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Looking at the chest and back im not at all sure where id need to cut for the sides and also how to make and shape them as I cant see any images of the side clearly and im guessing they get cut from the large rectangular pieces

 

If anyone has any ideas or pics that would be great 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

The armour isn’t quite as generous as I hoped so may have to use a lot of hairdryer and make a diff collar. 

Im hoping it can be sorted or I’ll have to move it on and stick with the v1
