Sebswgougou Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hi, I painted my TD tube with a primer grey, just want to check with you guys if the color is ok for Lancer spec.? And, you can see on the picture that I heated and reformed my endcap to make it concave (it's not centered with the tube, it's not yet paste) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I think the colour and the concave end looks good. In my opinion. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shada Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Looks good. How did you heat the end cap and what did you use to get the shape? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebswgougou Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Perfect, thanks. I heated with a heat gun at low until the plastic becomes "malleable/soft" slightly, and then, I pushed with an Addict A Ball (a kind of plastic puzzle ball) to shaped it, the ball has approximately a diameter of 7 inches, just perfect for the end cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Looks good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_a Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Does the standard, "out of the box" SC tube meet lancer standard or does it need painting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I asked the armourers and they recommended a medium grey color for the TD. I would use some fine sandpaper to scuff it up and the wash it with soap and water before you paint it to get any residue off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Get you a 1.5" od piece of hose and wrap it in RJ-11 telephone wire thats light gray in color. That's the most accurate way till we find the orginal stuff the y used on the screen used scouts TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
