Bobik96 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks Dylan. I've been having a headache with Velcro inside the boxes. The good thing is that you can hide a sloppy mess in them and nobody knows. Last night I broke my borrowed sewing machine. My project is on hold while I take it in for service.

EnigmaEngine Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ouch. I....I rednecked the heck out of my boxes. Secured them to the webbing with....wait for it....white duck tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fistful of Energon Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 this thread is very helpful to me with my current state of build, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobik96 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Josh im glad that you liked it. I mostly followed pandatrooper's build. But as I was preplanning my build ,and even my purchases, I studied as many posts as I could. I especially thought that the ones with alot of close up pictures helped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told 5-7 days to make everything then 2-3 weeks shipping. ordered 4/14, as of 4/26 he's still working on it. Have gotten used to the waiting game in this hobby, still sucks though.

Bobik96 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I sent him my measurements the same day that you did. I have had communication with him since. I am also anxious to get my costume completed but I am not worried. I ordered a helmet from him a day later so I expect they will ship together pushing my order back a little. It could be worse. I ordered a base pair of boots on ebay and after I paid he told me they were on 4 week backorder from China. Who knows when they will arrive.

Bobik96 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks. My belt is finished but assembly did not go as smooth as the rest of the build. I folded the straps over and sewed them on the front side of the belt. Closes in the back with Velcro.This is where I had an error. The snaps blocked my TD clips.R Rather than moving the snaps I added a small strap to the back to clip the TD to. The clips are SC that came with the kit. I used spray paint to paint them black. I really didn't need to do this because they are covered anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobik96 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I used the good advice of jyjellyfish77 to cut the liner and foam out of my SA gloves by slicing the edge with a razor. I do not plan to install another lining. I don't mind the feel of the leather. They are pretty comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobik96 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Can someone advise on this shoulder webbing? It's cotton 1.5 inches. I think it conforms to the CRL but the pics that I have seen are not the best quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That´s how I made my shoulder bridges too - and I got approved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I had to end up doing ye ole' hair dryer on the TD routine, and it worked like a charm. I had my doubts... But it worked. Also, I love your idea on the TD and belt... I may look into using my riveter to attach my TD to the back of the belt webbing now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gato Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Any suggestions on removing e6000? Use nail polish remover. The acetone takes it off quickly. I hot glued my helmet lense in wrong and used this method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just don't use the fingernail polish removed on the bed while watching TV... Because I totally did. And I also totally accidentally knocked it over, and you CAN NOT get that smell out of a matress. Just sayin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
