sibbel29’s Strider/CFO armor built topic

[sibbel29]

hey everyone,

 

I am finally starting building my Strider/CFO armor kit which I have in since february. My RS kit built took me a bit longer but I am on it now ;-)..

 

I am trimming all the parts before building and have started with the shoulderbells. The kit gives a very good trimline so I started trimming with scissors which works out great! the edge is still a bit rough but I have to sand and smoothen it anyway. I also rounded the corners straight away.. a good start a I may say.. follow this topic for updates..

 

PS: many followers of my other topics and on social media know I am not the fastest builder, but I am taking everything step by step and aim for near perfection and screen accuracy as much as possible.. not building means doing research . this works for me;-)!

update:

today I trimmed the underarm armor. I used a dremel and 150 sandpaper. still need some refinements here and need to shorten the endpieces as I don’t have arms like “the Rock” . I tried to stay a tiny bit below the cast edge to create a returnedge.

update: I trimmed the biceps armor and personally it looks great! first I trim all the pieces before I start building them together and make the slots for the straps etc. for me this works perfect!

next up: knee armor

update: trimmed the other knee and Thermal Detonator parts! I also received my tube, clips and electric cord to make a fine screenaccurate TD..

I used tape as a guide to trim the caps nice and even, worked great!

Update back and chestarmor finished as well! just need to line up the bridges and trim them at the correct length. first of all: making straps for all the parts and cut the slots...
