I used Krylon "Matte" clear coat, from Walmart.

looking good, but get rid of the shoulder strap. get some cheap kneepads and glue them to the inside of your shoulder armor and velcro in place.

Trust me, I will. There's a knee pad under the shoulder and the strap came attached to it. I just wanted to take a pic and hadn't attached the velcro yet. The strap is getting cut off. Shows up too easily against the undersuit.

i hate people that are taller than me. the armor looks better on them than the guy that sculpt it. the shins look great on you, but look huge on me..........damn tall people..........LOL the cumberbund looks like it fits pretty good.

 

keep up the great work.

Thanks dudes. I always thought yours looked awesome! You're too critical!

 

The cummerbund does fit really good! Nicely made. I got the belt attached today. Now all I have to do is wait on the pouches.

 

I need to figure out how I'm going to sew the crotch saddle material and move the pockets on the pants. That's the next big step then I should be close to done.

The base coat is down after many days of bondo and primer. Now Just waiting for it to cure and I'll put the camo down. Then attach them.

 

I really like these boxes. Very light. Is the one that I circled supposed to be used somewhere? He said he included a couple extra in the shipment to use for practice. Not sure if this is them.

You should have 2 of those. A left and right one.

Yep, and there are 4 in the kit; 2 left + 2 right

these are the boxes meant for "trial and error" on bondo-ing, painting, etc..

Awesome. Thanks for the info! I fallowed your instructions that you put in the box and they came out great. I used Mineral Spirits to clean off the mold release. Used Bondo spot filler to fill the air bubbles.

Thanks! I worked on them last night and tonight for a couple hours. Here's the results.

Sweet! Those pouches are looking great!

Posted

looking really good. one thing you might try is to spray paint your belt with a grey primer. that is what did on mine and the paint still has not cracked off, the rubber i use seems to turn green with light exposer unless you make them black.

 

good work , though.

You know what, I was thinking it was supposed to be green. I over looked that detail. Now that you say that, I see in the reference pictures that it is gray.

 

After I fix the belt color, attach the pouches, and weather the cummerbund, I just have the riding patch (crotch area material) and thigh pockets to do. Then it's done! I think the sewing of the pockets and riding patch is going to be a pain.

I'm with you there. I keep putting off my patches as I think they'll need to be sewn on by hand. Not difficult as such but a pain to do.

It is!!!

I had to sew the thigh pockets and the riding patch on by hand. It will drive you nuts. I did the riding patch with one piece of grey suede leather. Take your time. Have lots of patience.

By the way, your paint job looks great.

Great Job chadD! If you know someone who can sew with a machine ....have them do it! Although it could be done by hand just have patience! ;)
