chimei Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 so i'm wondering about the two variations of the forearm plates. MC and KS seem to be much more squared-off than the SC. is it worth trying to mod my SC pieces to be more square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I tried to modify my SC armour a bit, as it had no return edges it could be shaped quite well. Keep tinkering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimei Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 any pics? i know some folks have used hand irons or something like that...but don't have one, and not sure where to start. i was thinking that i could just buy some MC forearms and knees as they have something of a return edge...but it may look quite obvious that those two pieces "don't belong"...if i choose to remain only a TB, i may upgrade to a full MC set next summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The MC forearms are more accurate. I've thought about modding my SCs, but figured I'd eventually upgrade anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandatrooper Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Heres my tutorial on how to do a return edge on a TK. Same principle can be applied to most plastic armor. Hope this helps! -------------- I have a lot of people asking me how to do a return edge, or tips when they've bought a heat sealing iron and can't get it to work. So I figured a video tutorial would be helpful. Here's online sources for heat sealing irons: http://www.towerhobbies.com/products/towr3250.html http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN101 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXB361&P=0 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXB363&P=0 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVPROFIL=++&FVSEARCH=sealing+iron&search=Go With that out of the way, here's a 2 part video tutorial for how to create return edges using a heat sealing iron. I hope it's helpful for all the people asking for tips on how to get a better return edge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
