Glynn Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 After speaking with MrPoopie about mixing and matching different designs, I’ve decided I’m eventually going to swap everything for his files. They look fantastic. I’ve made a start. Chest is partway through painting..... 3
Glynn Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 It’s been a while but I’m moving forward again! After some awful quality prints I upgraded most of my printer and scrapped my left boot armour. They’re reprinting now and I’ve just put second coat of white on a couple of right boot parts 2
Glynn Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 I’ve downloaded the updates a little late for the right boot armour. Instead of reprinting, I’ve glued the front and back shin parts together. Hoping that’ll be ok after a bit of filling. Pic was taken before I discovered the update. 2

Hask Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Coming along nicely, I would recommend reducing the gap under the sniper plate 1

Glynn Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 Starting to fit boot parts together now they’re all painted. Had problems with the ‘boot arc’ fitting, so I tried tpu. Success! Once I’ve set everything in place I’ll final fit the buckles and straps. 1
MrPoopie Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 How are you attaching the shin armor to the boot? Just wondering what methods everyone uses.

Glynn Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Well, I officially have the calves of a giant calfed freak 😂 I need to reprint the rear shin armour deeper and wider without changing the height. 1

I've punched two holes in each of the boots and fixed snap buttons there, and snap plates in the inside of the shin armour. This way the height is the same every time -Edo

I have one snap because it keeps everything in exactly the same spot but I'm going to add another area with velcro just in case it comes loose and makes thing smore secure. Best of both worlds. 2
Glynn Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 Happy with that. Can’t believe how much I’ve had to adjust the size of that back shin part 😂 Look at it compared to the rest of my leg! I’ll have to get baggy pants. 1
Glynn Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 I know the top half isn’t Mr Poopies files but the boots are done and I wanted to see how it all looked. The old parts are being replaced, slowly.... 4
Hask Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Be mindful of how low your heel armour is, the actual heel of the boot should be seen.
MrPoopie Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Looking good. I have a new version of the Thermal Detonator when you're ready. 2
Glynn Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 Any suggestions for fixing the toe part? I used silicone and left it for 24 hours. It popped straight off after 2 steps.
Hask Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I used thin velcro, the trick is not to have the under boot strap too tight as it pulls on the front of the toe armour and causes it to lift. 1
MrPoopie Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 It may be the wrong size. Just like the heel it should sit just above the sole stitching on the sides. Also, I used industrial velcro on the top of the toe and corresponding bottom side of the toe armor. 1
Glynn Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Been a while but due to other projects but, here is my recent Poopie lid progress. Printing in 2 halves
