Congrats and good work!

having previously built a Jimmiroquai fotk I second the information here. I wouldn’t sand before base coat paint above 800 grit. Anything higher can lead to runs. Also I’d highly recommend using a gloss polyurethane based clear and protective coat for the shine. another thing I’ve done with wet sanding here and there is use a dab of dish soap alongside the water it helps the sanding process be a little more smooth, but overall just water is plenty fine too.

Impressive work on the helmet especially. That’s got to be a beast to work with.

Not sure if you can, but if screws are the worry maybe a hardware store has new screws you could pick up?

Oof that’s nasty, but good work so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can also grab some black abs sheets from amazon that work well. That’s how I did it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking great. With your thigh glue areas you mentioned I really don’t see tons that would get in the way of approval. Overall it looks solid. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Biggest thing I found with my cod was just trimming to what looked right initially and then I made some slight adjustments after doing some tests walking in it. But what you have marked looks like a good starting point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Almost there! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So far progress looks good for basic approval for sure. Even higher levels looks like you are doing well towards making it easier to achieve those too. Keep up the good work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Clones just need more hobbies. Seems they have too much time to make more CRLs lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello There! Glad to have you here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can’t quite tell for sure on the pictures, but like Glen said, the shins may be on backward. There’s a specific curvature to most kits shins. You can see above how the inner shin has more of a dip inward in the curve following the natural calve muscle. The outer shin has more of a natural curve from top to bottom following the natural curvature of your calve/shin as well. Just worth double checking that. You can trim some of the return edge off. I wouldn’t trim all of it. Here’s mine for example prior to glue and sanding: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you are aiming for higher levels, you’ll want to double check measurements as there’s very detailed sizes and distances of measurements for EIB and Centurion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
