republic credits WILL DO fine

Hey guys got few quick questions: greeblies on gauntlets glue or sew em,ive thought about glueing em and glueing other layer of skin under them,to protect edges from dragging em by sleewe when wearing gloves,about sewing im bit afraid if thread will not cut thru rubber. Another about that resin greeble plate on top of tank,it should be flat with top of tank itself so mine stick up kinda 1 mm,and i dunno if i should bondo on that edges difference or left it as it is. (sorry for poor english)

little update,well halloween ended ive got thru some horrors mounting that visor to the helmet,but finally fixed most of shifted areas. still need alot of sanding and a bit bondo of course. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/oljr.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/z6q6.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/9uel.jpg/ one shin ready for final painting just need cut holes for straps http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/cf47.jpg/ backpack mounted on backplate still need some work with edges and plate itself need edges filed http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/22/iq6y.jpg/ chestpiece after 1st chrome layer http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/dzwi.jpg/ some other lil things done also 2nd bicep glued together and bondoed a bit riding patch sewn in,started attaching snaps ,straps and such to diff parts.

Yep agree marsh grass looks best for base,about that green its weird so that3rd and 2nd are the same type of colour,both are ddr green but they looks diferent,ive found good shop where they mix carpaints,so when i have samples i try mix sumfin,they also fill spray cans so would be great have at least tan in spray.

sure if possible,PM sent.

yeh visor need be a bit shifted so u get same space between visor edges and "cheeks" of helmet,from what i saw You shifted and bondoed that on right side ,i proly do the same yep heatgun would be even better option than filing/bondoing snout that true Also can file snout plate itself a bit i'll try what will work best thx guys

okeyday Thx Grumpy it allows me to plan my job further more clearly I planned paint my armour back sides with same chrome but can do black as well I will consult "camogrom" use with my GML yet and i'll wait what Heatshock say. Hehe hope i'll have enuf patience to finish&join,will be 1st Kashyyk here in Poland from what i know Thx vm for advices,i try do some job thru weekend and post progress.

hello Thx folks ,im probably too worried about details hehe ,but i think all of us got something like that at first build:) Here are pics of camogrom,hope pattern will be better visible: http://img841.images...1/5084/kolz.jpg http://img132.images...2/8872/ezmb.jpg seems bit lighter than multicam and have bit more dense pattern i think,wonder if it would work for cumber pouches or COD,bit worried about that dark brown patterns on that camo they no suit very good. Ill try post some progress pics after weekend,thru week job takes too much time to work seriously One more lil question ,guys u glue that straps,velcros and naps on painted HIPS,or before primering? I presume some elements like snout on helmet and greebles on bicep goes on after painting but i wonder about all that connecting stuff.

Got a question i see some of You use multicam for cumberbund pouches,one of my friends adviced me to check on "camogrom" pattern,what You guys think about that camo?http://allegro.pl/tierone-peleryna-przeciwdeszczowa-camogrom-helikon-i3584933793.html

hello folks I've asked You here and there about different stuff,making disorder so i,ve decided to start my topic, about my build to avoid that (if its wrong place pls move it thx.) Started not so long and progress going rather slow but here is some pics what i got: 1st layer of "chrome" on some parts http://img12.imagesh...2/5646/bvcy.jpg started work on helmet http://img17.imagesh...7/6599/hgp5.jpg http://img842.images...2/4505/dq8q.jpg got some troubles with that "nose" is badly shifted comparing to visor line http://img853.images...3/8803/hvrj.jpg but i try fix that by filing and bondoing place where snout piece goes hope it will be enough, got my lil helper here so things WILL be ok http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8361/u9ef.jpg Started shins also http://img42.imagesh...2/8030/6trb.jpg base gloves,waiting to get leather for forearm parts of glove http://img849.images...9/7679/xem7.jpg Also some other soft parts done i will update with em when get em back from sewing riding patch. Sorry for poor ql photos,next will be better ,so ive got my camera back Any opinions,advices critics welcome

Oki thx,need start my hunting for proper fabrics now

Vertyical straps are not sewn on all their lenght?

thx vm trying do my best hehe finally got some good bondo so my old one was total crap ,now trying to figure what glue,tried 2 types You all use e 6000?

So riding patch goes a bit down from thigh pouches?is it positioned in middle of inner part of leg?i mean same part of patch on back and front side considering central inner sew as middle?how far approximately should be edge of patch from edge of thigh pouch?patch is rectangular with a bit round corners right?

Thx Alan,yes i will cut,form,bondo all that of course yet it was just put together for measurement and was curious if its not too "bulky "

Can i get any opinion advice on my shin armour,they are now just on ducktape for measurement,upper/bottom edged will be cut/formed yet,what i wanted ask its,if overall shape of element is ok,my boots wont allow to cut it tighter on down edge :/ on upper edge they are loose but tightening there would give rather odd shape i think,what You say folks? http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2256/exa8.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4337/fzis.jpg

here are some sketches hard to call it true plans though:( http://img6.imagesha...g6/2059/rz1.gif http://img855.images...55/8941/i6x.gif and here some photos though alot of em are rather pure fantasy https://www.google.p...iw=1024&bih=629 Here also is interesting build where some parts are nice visible: http://www.gwiezdne-...kst.php?nr=2304 and here about how long rifle should be,u can resize those sketches,and use em as plans i think, though i heard some elements needs be slightly resized. http://www.nordicgar...c75f&view=print all i got hope it helps a bit. Just got that link so i add if will be of any use for You,i probably will craft my blaster myself also so weaponsmith,ive ordered gun from failed .http://www.imperial-fleet.com/there is a bit tutorial of long dc,not checked if there are templates so i got it yesterday.

Ok Thx vm

Hey folks. Could anyone pls post picture of tank top greeble,possibly with measurement,how wide is space between edge of topper and edges of tank,and between edge of topper and backplate armour. Also got question,is someone selling decals wchich goes under "eyes" or is that detail painted?

Grats Man !!

added pads for my base gloves what You think folks will it work? http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/7679/xem7.jpg http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2033/qd3r.jpg threads are bit lighter,but they was new,while leather was from an old used jacket with bit weathering threads probably will not differ.

its leather made from goat or sheep skin colour is called white/azure or blue,at least its what guy from whom i bought says .

Yes i agree totally,computer effects in movies will make it hard to judge what material to use And i totally agree so we need that standars,it will make way for new troopers easier,thx the force we have veterans like You guys who helps otherwise we woul be "deep in forest" with our armours&costumes...wait scout should feel good deep in forest... (joke but really thanks for all your help )

Thanks very much:),i will cut flaps as Allan adviced,and mask light threads with marker,next will go for riding patch.
