darren1970 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, I'll cover them with some fabric ( gotta get some for the cod anyway ). Small updates Donor gloves arrived. UK military Webtex 95 pattern gloves. As you can see I've cut off the adjustable wrist strap off one of em ( the other will be off in a minute ). Also got the first of the bells done and have added a foam knee pad to give it the 'lift' off the shoulder. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skupilkinson Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Same gloves I used as my base mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi folks. A few small updates. Is the placement of the shoulder bells OK? Also could I ask if the tank is sitting level to you guys? Thanks Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Made a start on the 'dreaded' gloves . Thanks to a lot of help from my mum and my wife we've got the brown leatherette gauntlets made, Acrylickhan's lovely greblies fitted and the gauntlet attached to the donor gloves. Next job is the pads/straps for the back of the hand. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Added the back / knuckle pad and the strap. I used white vinyl so I weathered it with some light tan acrylic to match the Acrylikhan greebs. The hand pads are padded with a layer of craft foam.

darren1970 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Did some gray weathering on the hand pads and just didn't like it, so ripped them off Found some gray vinyl left over from my Commander Bacara build, so re-made them.

darren1970 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi guys. Decided not to let certain things get to me and tonight I picked up ( and started work on ) the left bicep, so I guess the build is back on. Thanks for the words of encouragement. PS.

darren1970 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 LOL cheers James. Another update......recieved a set of Dimitri's foam ammo boxes. One step closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Cleaned up and smoothed down the lovely set of strofmos ammo boxes I've got ready for covering with fabric. Decided that it would be easier to cover them in fabric if the flap detail was added later, so I filed it off, covered it with fabric then added a seperate flap and box top section. A bit of camo and viola....! Nathan did give me some of the camo fabric that MrBungle gave him, but there wasn't enough left for the whole set, so I decided to paint them all ( thanks all the same Nath 8) ). more to come tomorrow......
