sibbel29 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 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;-)!

sibbel29 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 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. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
