My original 850 arms and legs have been replaced with Alain Rivards files the same as the rest of my armour. Alains helmet replaced with Nico Hendersons 3d printed files. All replacements have been printed in carbon fibre pla and finished by me. Same process for all of it. Hand sanded raw prints , no filler. Then base coat brown, liquid mask fluid for chips, Sahara coats. Belt sanding and hand sanding, filing and 4 passes of dirt and aeging sprays. The shins have about 25 magnets to connect the greaves to the clams along with the straps they are solid and can sprint in them with no issues...except I’m sprinting. Thank you for your time and efforts in your consideration. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks folks , a pleasure [emoji4] Falling in love with the E22 [emoji1] great blaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many thanks for your kind comments [emoji846] My ukg amourer Stefan pointed out that the base silver was a bit too clean so i have dirt washed a few passes and added some black wash for carbon build up. Also added light bluing to barrel ends on his suggestion. Looks like it’s seen a few more dirty battles [emoji1] Simple techniques oldies but goldies. Quick to do [emoji106] Base coat silver. Paint brush on toothpaste where you want your chips to be. Spray black. Then rub off toothpaste areas with a damp cloth. Use 280-300 grit sand paper and sand all the high points lightly through to the silver coats and anywhere else you want to show wear. Raw umber and black washes for filth and dirt build up. Thats about it i think. Hope this helps Greetings from the UK [emoji869][emoji482] Be well Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys, ok i think I’m there on the build. Printed Sean’s files in carbon pla and modded the stock arms /fixing position and butts up against the pistol grip assembly now. Used M4 bolts hex head and countersunk screws on power cells. Talon sling mounts and 1” web strap for the sling. It was a lot of fun building and making it and i went for the more battle worn one of the 2 on show at swcc 2016.(used pics for ref) Hope all is good and thanks again for your help 🙂👍

Thanks Mickey will do 🙂👍

Thanks folks for your input. . Got two concerns with Sean files...the trigger guard and M shaped side plates don’t look right. They have been pulled up for modification by uk armourers.Did you mod these?

Greetings pathfinders, looking to 3d print Alains E22 in petg and wanted to check the files are ok for 501st clearance. Anything worrying in the files i will need to mod or is it good to go? Going to do the stunt version with a doopy doos resin scope as the front mounting foot looks a bit square on the file.
