New Stunt, First build, RT-MOD

[Narc[TK]]

I avoided velcro at all costs.  Only place you'll find it on my armor is the electronics (fans, amp, icomm).

 

15mm on the arms is recommended for screen accuracy.  

 

I put my rubber gloves with handguards on after my forearms are on.

 

CRL for Centurion does not list a specific size for coverstrips.  Remeber you have to fit the armor to your body type.  I am really tall compared to the original troopers and I was able to create a Centurion level armor out of RT-MOD.  I may have a few things I want to change if I can to make it even more accurate, but that is a project for another day.  I want to get trooping!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

So you don't velcro your shin\calves? How you get them on?

Right shin 95% done, left 80, right forearm glued and clamped, 80%,left forearm and both biceps marked ready for trimming. Coming along slowly but Surely . Don't call me Shirley though

I used your "if you need a 16mm cover strip, mark your piece with an 8mm scrap piece" Eric!!! Very cool

I am back... Finally got time and another work shop. I am going to try to keep the momentum this time... I have been looking but can't find if anyone has a safe way to remove glue from ABS. I had to pull Velcro and cover strips, I mixed up my placement of both because I mixed up my right and left shin...

Any suggestions?

What sort of glue? Superglue, not much other than sand, then polish

Been a while... Never mind that. I am working on it again. Glue issues sorted out. Shins repaired. Thighs sized, glued and cover stripped. Have to work on snaps and strapping now.

Great to meet face-to-face up here in the Great White North! I thought you may appreciate some progress pictures of the butt-and-cover RT-Mod! . Seeing you (and everybody else) in armour sparked my motivation. I want to be in the FanExpo TK march next year, not leading it in civis!
