Minimo Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Strapping is looking good! You need to remove the elastic band on the shoulder bells though. Shoretroopers don't have those.Sent from my SM-T290 using TapatalkSounds good, those are only tapped in place!

Minimo Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hope all are well! Ran into some issues today. While weathering my shoulder bell I decided to give weathering spray a shot, since i will need it for the blue sections of the armor. I haven’t used this product before but it was a complete fail... I followed the directions in the bottle and even watched some youtube vids... I think i may have deployed it too close to the surface, it pretty much ate the Sahara paint job lol. I sanded down the bell and have started from scratch on it lol. Any advice on how to use the weathering spray are welcome. I’m pretty sure it was user error, but have also chucked that can in case it was a bad batch... Other than that here are some other updates: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8271 Rogue Trooper Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 When using the weathering spray , it’s just a light spray over it from a distance of around 30cm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 I am very happy how the shoulder strap magnets came out. Thank you Theo and Stefan for your instructions on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Started painting some of the blue areas. Forearm needs some touching up but overall fairly happy how they came out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Greetings peeps! I could use some help with my Left Shoulder bell measurements. I am using Theo’s and Paul’s wips to guide me as well as comparing to screen used pics(eyeballing). I did have a question, are the measurement supposes to be consistent throughout the bell? Or should they taper? From what i have seen they should be the same at all times.Here are some pics with the measurements that made sense to me...Any advice is welcome...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Might go with this....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 So after much research and photo comparing I noticed that I was measuring the wrong way. Below is what I came up with. Also some updates on other pieces. Really coming together now!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimo Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hey guys, does anyone know where to source the chin cup in the US? My understanding is that it needs to be JSP JS-AHV000-500-000, but i can’t find a place to get it from. I did find these two, but I cant tell if they are the same. Does anyone know?https://www.fullsource.com/jsp-281-csd-2pt?gac=1550001466609&shop=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw4871BRAjEiwAbxXi21kuqpH9NP6m_0NA9gmyd6nPsp4tfeGV5TWQ5hgkDxqOSM_5ai3I4xoCNkUQAvD_BwEhttps://m.galeton.com/product/detail/2-point-standard-jsp-reg-hardhat-chin-strap/11760-product/?set=FreeShip_50&code=FREESHIP50&gclid=CjwKCAjw4871BRAjEiwAbxXi2yvxJly7el04c4EDrGHOSW4bnTydSyfgm9IXSokecEkUgu7DQBNIbBoCLyAQAvD_BwESent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I ordered mine from the UK. It's possible someone has 3D modeled it for printing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Some small steps today, but finally took some full body pics with what I have. Still missing a couple of pieces but definitely helped in identifying some issues and areas that need improvement or need to be corrected. Feel free to chime in!!
