ShaunPug Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks man! I knew that I would be doing a lot of "perfecting", so I wanted to make sure everything was removable while still being accurate.

cheesewhoopy Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Chest back and shoulders are assembled. I really like the how the zip tie look came out, they sit flat and don't puff. Still working on the helmet, lense cut out needs to be cleaned up and got straighten some decals. Things are coming along!

cheesewhoopy Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Do you guys thing the shoulder bells should be pulled in a little closer? Or is it pretty accurate where they sit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunPug Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Do you guys thing the shoulder bells should've pulled in a little closer? Or is it pretty accurate where they sit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think they're fine where they're at, but they could possibly come in a tiny bit...I'd say it's up to you.

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk I feel like where they sit now I have pretty good flexibility and bringing them closer might mess with that, but I might adjust them a little. If it doesn't work I can als snip the zip ties and do it again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just finished up the TD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Got some weathering done today. I don't have access to an airbrush so it was hard to get the look I wanted, but I improvised and play around with different techniques and was able to get something close to what I was going for.

Retrofire Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Nice work! It's just subtle enough to get the point across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 How is the positioning of the drop boxes looking? I forgot to add the parachute clips on the back strap so I'll fix that today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Maybe raise the right one (bottom pic) up a smidge to match the left. Other than that the distance looks good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 A little more progress today. Still need to ad bottom rivets, but it's coming along. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 So close! (Thermal detonator is crooked cuz I couldn't put the belt on right by myself) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Did something similar to what I saw in pandatroopers build and used magnets for the TD. It makes putting on the belt so much easier than havimg it permanently affixed. And it's a solid hold.

cheesewhoopy Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm so close to finishing this. A few nit picky things I'll change before submitting. The belt boxes and biceps are in weird positions becasue I was running around the house testing how everything stayed on. So I'll adjust those for submission pics. But what do you guys think?

Retrofire Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Look great! The only thing I see is that your biceps are a bit to far back but I'll bet that was from running around the house😀 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobik96 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Looks great! I don't see you having any approval issues. Future Lancer right here. I would suggest strategically placed and hidden Velcro to hold the biceps in position. My belt is also attached with Velcro.

Aliaz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 That's a good tip to keep the biceps in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Still waiting on my approval. In the mean time I swapped out the studio creation bolts for the right ones, added the hard hat liner and chin cup.
