i will reinforce the hot glue seam permanently ;) soon as i come up with a good way of doing it

 

could you just run a bead of some heavier glue (E6000, ABS Glue, etc.) along the seam from the backside? Maybe use some painters tape or something to keep it from running onto the outside?

i masked off the chest armor and just used some ripped pieces of paper to mask off the heavily damaged areas

then airbrushed with the same black/red mix

applied the door trim and glued it in place with plumbers goop (best glue ever IMO, besides super glue :D) tip: the trim may buckle when bent too much, a few drops of super glue will fix that...

i am finally at the final stage of my build :D i just need to finish some painting and make a strapping system... i didnt know if anyone has tried this way of closing the shin backs but i gave it a try and it works great, i trooped a birthday party the other day and they held strong ;) (though i almost passed out from heat exhaustion)

i just used 2 finishing strips and they pop fit together. i was just going to put some white tape on the inside for added strength but it holds fine without it

 

once i get a neckseal and finish my flamethrower ill be good to submit for the 501st and the hopefully eib

got the last of the major parts painted and started on the snaps and velcro .. i recycled all the velcro from old blood pressure testers i got when i worked at a hospital ( i had a deal with the janitor ;)) it is super high quality stuff. i am hopefully going to finish masking and painting the red detail bits today :D

Just a perfect flamethrower dude !

 

I've almost finished my own incinerator and I wonder if you have more photos from your weapon or if you are planning to make some replicas of it ?

 

Your armor seems to be great too but I saw that you've two shoulder parts. I saw that the incinerator haven't got any shoulder part uner the pauldron ;)

 

Keep the pics comming ! I can't wait to see the next steps :D

Woah!

 

Great job - especially with the pauldron & flamethrower!

Saw the thread in the GML area - you should be an easy pass for both 501st, and when that's accepted - EIB as well methinks :)

 

Super job :salute:

 

Some minor tweaks though for when you next suit up:

1. Fix chest/back strap on right

2. Add butt to cod strap to keep that "tail" from danging down

3. Drop boxes could be 1/8" higher

4. Ideally do a little scuffing

Wicked armor.... But, I think it needs some battle damage too :D

Are you still making/selling the flamethrower? About to start my own Incinerator build here shortly and that is the only component I am missing. Tried to PM with no joy. 

 

Thanks in advance!
