That any better? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ive taken the tank topper off as I was told it was off by a couple of mm but now I can't find a decent position for it, would be grateful if you could advise Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Also i think I am going to have to trim the space for my head to go through the chest and back armour as my head won't fit through or is there a trick to putting it on once its strapped up? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

So here is hopefully, (once I have riveted and attached the elastic) the finished Tabk and back piece, please advise if the tank topler is out of place i placed and measured as best as i could with reference to other wips, I feel my tank is bigger than some possibly?

Thanks mate!! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

If there is anywhere you think I could trim further feel free to advise, the velcro tabs are certainly a good idea Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks buddy, im more concerned with the bottom rivet to be honest due to the large gap at the bottom Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'm after some advice regarding my tank and back plate please, its been bugging me for a few days now, started on it whilst primer was curing but I'm struggling to get the thing to sit flush, I know there was a gap in the screen used tanks but I'm a stickler for precision so any advice would be greatly appreciated, are we allowed to use filler along the sides and bottom of the tank?

I will do, I went over the bucket with a jeyes cloth and some water to get rid of any dust havent applied any primer yet though Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

That was just one pass with the rattle can, I didnt spray full on just like short bursts oll go over it again later Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Do I have to sand the primer down as well? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ok so i went over once on this spare piece of abs with the grey primer its been drying since last night and have just done one pass with the ford diamond white, gonna let that dry till tomorrow and will have a look, now when I am zooming in on that pic I notice tiny little holes, is that normal?

The paint i was told to get was Ford Diamond White from Halfords Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I will do a patch test on some spare abs I have and send a pic see what you think Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

What sort of problems? I'm using grey plastic primer for cars Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ok so it wasn't as bad as I thought, been sanding smooth the main bucket, using 120 then 240, then 400 grit paper, got some 800 grit now to do all over the bucket before masking up and priming!!!! Pictures don't do it justice but trust me its smooth as silk even though it looks like there are little pockmarks, there aren't!! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'm going to have to start again with the filler anyway, it hardened really quickly so didn't get chance to finish, rookie mistake I think!!! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ok will do Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Main bucket is now glued together, paint inside has been curing for 24 hrs, now to apply the filler!!! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ok so been finely tuning/filing the lid on the areas chopper marked out for me and I think I've got it as best as I can get it, please advise where else is needed also I didnt know how far the visor faceplate has to come up so I just did so i could get the lid off and on comfortably, I will be painting the inside black and attaching tactical airsoft helmet pads and the chin cup once painted on the outside Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Finished Thermal Detonator today, hopefully it is done right, i can loosen the zip tie or remove and get another one if the curve is too much on the tubing but tested it on my belt and it straightens out nice Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ahh that's great thanks ill make a start tomorrow or Tuesday will let you know how it goes Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

@Retrofire here are some shots of my bucket masked up, the main buck still isn't glued yet but I have placed support strips on the inside as you can see, I feel like the faceplate is pushing the visor up and away from main lid, advice on further trimming or areas needing attention would be greatly appreciated Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I will do i am gonna start back on it tomorrow so will send some pics Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks I will do, at present I am ever so slightly sanding down to fit the visor to the main lid the problen lies with the faceplate attaching to visor as i dont know how for forward it goes but will definitely ask him for help!! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
