![]() Anyone know if the raw tube is the correct color? I presume it's the correct color but I haven't been able to find Testors Gunship gray at any of the hobby stores near me to compare. The RS kit comes with a plastic tube already formed in grey. Next I'll tackle the hinge strap/rivets on the torso.need to do some more research on that. Or do I need to bend those ends a bit more? Also the left and right ends of the butt plate flare out a bit past the kidney plate above. I'm presuming this won't be an issue once I get the belt on. The butt piece sticks out a bit behind the kidney plate. Right now it's rubbing against my thighs and is in no way comfortable.ģ. Where the butt plate extends between the legs (the area with the snap) I need to trim material off the sides. I lost it when I had to trim off the bottom.Ģ. Need to remake the notch on each side of the kidney. Generally it fits around me well although I haven't taken an back pictures yet to see all those connections. Now I don't have the side connections in place yet so a little blue tape is needed to hold it together. Finally got the torso section assembled and tried it on. Afterwards I drilled the bracket holes and the corresponding holes in the butt plate. ![]() I also finished up the ABS paste, sanding and polishing job on the bottom of the kidney plate. ![]() Once they were out I sewed a new line across them to essentially shorten the size of the loop. My ab plate seemed to hang a little too low off the chest so I undid the brackets so I could get the elastic straps out. Work has kept me very busy for the past week and I'm just getting back to the build. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk With the thing of alot of work I totaly tried to avoied that becuse I don't have time to spare I got the full commission TK suit it is taking 6 to 8 weeks but I have a feeling it's going to be worth the wait This should help as I can't sew.yet! I figure I'll decide which parts to use or swap our for alternate straps as i work thru the process. I also got the strapping kit which has the rivets and bra hooks already attached. Do I need to order a new piece from RS? See the picture below. Anyone else with an RS kit have this dent? I'm wondering if it's supposed to be there, damaged part, or fabrication glitch. There's a dent on the bottom of the bucket face piece which appears to have been formed when the piece was pulled. Cricket mentioned this in her thread but I didn't really understand until I saw it in person. Some areas are perfectly smooth while others are a bit lumpy. I'm surprised by the lumpiness of parts of the bucket. The pieces look good and seem to have survived the shipping. ![]() Baby steps is what I have to keep telling myself. I started to freak a little looking at all the pieces because I now know how much work is involved here. After cleaning up from dinner, packing lunches, and getting the kids to bed I cracked this sucker open and laid out the pieces in their full glory. The BBB from RS Prop Masters arrived last night. ![]()
