tythetrooper Posted October 16, 2020 Author Posted October 16, 2020 Had a little bit of fun suiting up today to see how it would look.A quick question if I may, in regards to attaching the elastic to the armour I see a lot of people use Velcro. Is it wrong or for too glue with E6000 insteadSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Is it wrong or for too glue with E6000 instead To attach the elastic to the armor? That's not a super common method, but as a contact cement it should work. I've used E6000 to attach elastic to my silicone sandy handguards, so it should be ok with ABS as well. For best adhesion I'd recommend putting E6000 on both the armor side, as well as the elastic side, and then letting the glue off-gas for like 5 minutes before joining the two. And as with all things, I recommend you test it on one part before gluing all of your elastic!

tythetrooper Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 Holster riveted to boot, just have to finish off the actual holster
tythetrooper Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 Just wondering if anyone has instructions on how to use these for attachment of the visor to the helmet, thanksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Chopper Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 You don't need any of bottom 3 parts for your helmet assembly. All you need are the rotator bolts at the top, and the black plastic nuts just below them. 1
tythetrooper Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 Excellent thanks again chopper. Just wondering is there any costume your working on at the moment or plan to in future Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've currently got a stalled ShoreTrooper Captain that's hanging over me and really need to finish. 1
tythetrooper Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 It’s like that isn’t it. I’m close to finishing this scout and about 70% finished on a Boba Fett ROTJ which is painful but fun. I really enjoy the build part.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

tythetrooper Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 How does the helmet look?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Retrofire Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Helmet looks good sir! Well done! Just the right amount of weathering too. 1
tythetrooper Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 Thank you, it’s easy to get carried away with the weathering. It happened to me on my Boba Fett jumpsuit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aradun Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Looking forward to your approval and joining the ranks as a fellow Scout. Good luck Ty! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Chopper Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I expect that you should have no issues with approval. Nice work. 1
Retrofire Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Good luck with your submission Ty! As a note your tank is riding really low so you may need to trim a little of the bridge straps to raise it up and it'll help align the back and chest armor as in the CRL photo. You've done great work and looking forward to hearing good news! 2
