elbows will keep on place when straps&naps will be added also gauntlet keeps em on place i think:) just a bit worried so You did painting before glueing straps/naps ,maybe its about glue type,but i got alot fixes when i glued em on paint ,i was forced to sand places where they go and reglue some of em .also resewing pouches on bdu after dying can be pain ,oh well can mask lighter places with marker proly :)one more thing i just saw You glued visor already ?its reflective? can be darklight efect though try catch some sun and make pics alot things will be cleared that way

[Saray]

Hey guys :-) We didn't glue the visor already. We only put it into the helmet to see how it looks like.

[gerald]

haha okies bring us some pics with natural light it will clear most things and really check how straps will keep on painted surfaces ,i'm reglueing most of my straps so they dropping with paint pieces .

[Daelma]

jope.... that wasnt a good idea with the black paint in the inside...and after that to try to put some strapps on... -.- grml

 

i`m getting enrage with those mo**erfu**ing silicon gembels especially the gembel on the left biceps armor piece....

 

dont know with what i can to fixed them together... grrrrrr

[gerald]

i've no worked yet with rightbicep so cant help much,about straps i,m trying sand certain places where they go to pure HIPS and usually they keep in place after reglueing,cant say for sure yet how it will work in real trooping though heh time will show .rubber is hard to glue ive glued my forearm straps few days ago try sand a bit that surface of rubber wchich u will glue to sumfin it mak ebetter bond when is jagged a bit with sandpaper than when is smooth,otherwise You can try shoe glue but be carefull some of em tend to melt HIPS and paints,so better try first on piuece of not needed rubber&HIPS

Use "Krazy Glue" on the silicon pieces and they will stick.... something similar in the US I heard of is "Zap-A-Gap"

 

I used Krazy Glue on the belt greeb to glue it to my nylon belt, also all my other greebs.

If it dries then gets bent and twisted it will crack but even my belt has held up wonderfully and Iv tested that over and over..

The left bicep greeb doesn't bend or move once in place so it will not crack off.

 

You should have waited to paint the inside of your armor, but all you have to do is give the spot you're gluing a quick hand sanding (I forgot to add a snap or two and had to do this)

[bselphfsu282]

Allan is correct. I used CA glue/Zap a Gap with the kicker/accelerant and it has held well. I screwed up and glued the box to the bicep upside down and it was pretty tough to rip off. Also, if you use the kicker just be aware that it will make paint run.

some News about the Armor :

- the gloves , cummerbund boxes, und strapping from the legpounches are not finish yet )

 

just some pics about strapping and weathering, hope u like it...

 

i have removed the glosy and make it more mat

 

 

 

 

 

[gerald]

alot better with mat coating i would say i f can suggest sumfin brown still looks too dark as for me,also remove buttond from blose and replace it with velcros im not absolutely sure but i think no buttons can be visible over all jumpsuit,same about blose pouches one is visible under Your plates. Also You need add pouches on front of Your pants on thighs (those regular pouches no those hung from cumberbund)and riding patch .About weathering ,done nicely good simulation of claws i would try drop some "dirt" on them with dry brush method so metał will looks a bit "older",also i think u need change shape of Your "makeup" under eyes they should be just verical parrarel straps,and they are different lenght so they form "triangle" under eye like here

Sorry for poor English ,i think Grumpy or others guys will translate it to more undersudable Kashyykian lanquage
