Looking really good! After my first round of weathering was advised by Mel, one of the vanguards, to really go after the weathering. Mine still isn't as dirty as some of the others. Nice job. Keep it up!

You have the imperial surplus helmet right? That's molded abs plastic. Heavy, but very strong.

About 5-6 weeks. They come from Asia but the quality was very good.

Its looking good! The ABS is black. Don't be afraid to use sand paper to bring out the base and primer layers. That helps with weathering too. The top coat will protect it. I also did two different wash coats on top of the top coat. They will wear off and smear over time but it will add to the aging effect without messing up the base coat. Love the work you've put in.

Nevermind, I got access today! When you have time can you send me the link to the merch you were mentioning? No rush. Thanks!!

Hi Mel. You said I should reach out if I didn't get access to the garrison in a few days. I haven't heard anything. I put my request in both on the main Titan website and on the Titan Forum website. I know they don't check every day so they may haven't gotten to it yet, but just wanted to check in about it. Do you know when the next meet and greet is? Had lots of fun Saturday and Wendi and I have lots of notes on how to make sure my kit is better stocked and to fix a couple construction issues I had. Talk to you soon! John

Ok, so I have the E-22 kit from 850 armor works waiting to be assembled on my work bench. Questions: 1) There are 9 lights: 2 on each side of the rear power tube. Do those need a clear red cover or are the slots open with each LED visible? 2 lights forward of the power tube where the single power tube goes to a double barrel. Any good pictures? 3 lights in counter 1 or two lights in the barrel tips? Are the lights required for level 1 or just level 2? Are 3d printed scope and flashlight ok for level 2 or just level 1? All the fasteners are either button or countersunk M4 screws (just like on paintball guns). However my 3d printed kit also has additional smaller screws modelled in several areas. Are those ok or should I grind them off and drill them for real ones of approximately the same size?

I don't seem to have enough space to upload a larger image and the link isn't showing a preview, but here it is! Pretty much all finished! For the weathering I did one wash layer in rust and another in black, painting it on with a brush and then blotting it. I'm pretty happy with it. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AjQ7HXK9C6pOlGK9qC0ZBGLt-QZL?e=nWjgib https://1drv.ms/a/s!AjQ7HXK9C6pOk2x0RDn8asKlMl1B?e=ssYR99 I'm previewing it to the membership and hopefully be submitting it formally next week. Fun build! but I'm glad to be near the end.

I've been bad about posting my progress. All parts are trimmed and painted, my wife made me an awesome kama. Now just working on fitment and attaching the shoulder guards. https://1drv.ms/a/s!AjQ7HXK9C6pOk2x0RDn8asKlMl1B?e=E4dnW1

It was pretty quick. Less than a month. They were great

Anyone know what parts these are for? I dont see them in any of my references.

Just about done with assembly. Then its on to final sanding and paint!

Haven't posted in a while. Finished assembling the arms. The belt is next. I got my belt from KeepTrooping and the buckle is taller than the plastic buckle. Advice on hiding? Also, on the shoulder pads, I didn't fit them with snaps yet. I was thinking of starting with velcro and only installing snaps if they didn't hold well. Did anyone line the inside of the shoulder pads or use them straight?
