ScaryGuy Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Nice! It’s an excellent kit! Don’t worry about the arm length of the shirt, it will be hidden by the forearms. I had my shirt shortened like that otherwise the shirt would be too tick around my wrists.
DaygoErm Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Thanks! Appreciate it. Now just looking at all the parts, and have to research the build process now.

ScaryGuy Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Not sure if you are still in progress of painting the helmet, but some areas on the helmet need to be black.

DaygoErm Posted May 15, 2019 Author Posted May 15, 2019 Trimming all done, playing with some paint. Trying out the shoulder bells first. Picked up paint from BLIK on sale right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
DaygoErm Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 And updated helmet as suggested Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
ScaryGuy Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Nice work on the helmet! The black stripes on the shoulder bell are way too thick. I think if you make the white band bigger it will solve this. Check the original references for the correct ratios. 1

Didn’t realize the measurements on the stripes. Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
DaygoErm Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Looked at reference photos and measurements. Redid the bell. I’m off by just a hair. All good. Just need to wether it once dried. Converted to inches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
DaygoErm Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Some more fun for today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ScaryGuy Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Good progress! Don’t forget the black side strips, and the black recess in the chest. 1
DaygoErm Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 This was my final progress for tonight. Gonna make it dirtier tomorrow. Not bad for today. . Thanks for everyone’s help and feed back today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ScaryGuy Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Little nitpick: the blue band tapers at the outer edges. On the screen used costumes there is some variation on the angle used, but they all taper. 2

KOtrooper Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Making progress! Those dang shoulder bell stripes. I had to do mine three times until I got it right. Sent from my Moto G (5S) Plus using Tapatalk 2

DaygoErm Posted June 7, 2019 Author Posted June 7, 2019 Started working on it again...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
ScaryGuy Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Do you also have the greeblies that are below the large recesses (green and orange arrows)? These are required. I see you also added the holes. For more accuracy (and level 2) you can also add the small rectangle greeblies (blue arrows), and the cut-outs behind the shoulder strap slots (white arrows).

Do you know actual length? Width? I can probably cut out some extra plastic and gluing on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ScaryGuy Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 The best method is to use imaging software and use a measure tool to get measurements from a reference picture, and scale those to your actual real world measurements. The different armor kits vary in size so using measurements from others is not always the most accurate. But here are the measurements from my BSP kit to give an idea: Green: 30 mm x 7 mm (edges are rounded). This greeblie is slightly wider then the space between the two large recesses. Orange: 8 mm diameter Blue: 9 x 3.5 mm (edges are rounded) Edit: also check the cut-out on the left bottom. It should have a raised edge and the cut-out is painted black,
DaygoErm Posted June 9, 2019 Author Posted June 9, 2019 Can anyone share their strapping set ups? It seems like it's similar to the TK Armor build. I like some of the magnet ideas, so far... Thank you!
