mrbungle Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 is there a big dent in the tip of the cod piece??? that is not suppose to be like that. Quote
Fettski Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Cod looks good to me. It should be a little smaller at the top to attach behind belt right? Quote
Fettski Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 This is basically what I trimmed. Quote
Fettski Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 No pics yet but all armor but bucket has been sanded and ready for assembly and primer. I am trying to get all pieces at the same point so I can assemble and bondo then sand then primer everything at the same time. Quote
Fettski Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 cod piece covered. Trying to figure out a way to cover the foam pockets with cloth. Quote
darren1970 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Nice one Ski. I've got to cover my foam boxes when they arrive. Quote
mrbungle Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 cool oh yeah the measurements for the viser hole is 2.75 inches by .75. Quote
Fettski Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Here are a few updates. These are the colors I ended up with. I don't have the needed liquid latex so I used painters tape just to get an approx look. Please just look at the colors and my camo method, not the layered method. In the pic is the swatch from MB, the fabric with paint on it for my pockets, just for color not camo, and the forearm piece. This is outside in the shade on a sunny day. This is in the sunlight Cotton Duck cloth covered foam pouches. I think the natural color will be fine with just green and brown then the white and black weathering. If you like my colors and want to reproduce them, go to HD and use this mix. I am going to start a thread with some pics on how i covered my pouches if anyone is interested. Quote
Fettski Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 BUMP Can you guys comment on your thoughts of my color selection? Quote
Jimah Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I think they seem to be a nice match Ski. But I am no expert... just my two cents Quote
mrbungle Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 i think ya done good!!!!! try to make your scratches more naturalistic....... JMHO. Quote
Fettski Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Yea the scratch was just a test. Not intended to even look close to what it should. It was just a quick test of revealing silver underneath. Thanks for the comments. Quote
Fettski Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Parts assembled and ready for Bondo. pouches have a base coat now remaining armor has base coat and some minor assembly done. Quote

I havent even started the drop thigh boxes or helmet. Also a bunch of straps and greebs to attach. I am really motivated to join the 501st and the ranks of the Pathfinders. Quote
