thechosenhitman[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Not a problem sir. Was working on the armor last night w/ 4 others. Quote
TMacken[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Pieces glues and assembled. Time to get out the Bondo and start making these things seamless. Quote
thechosenhitman[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Are you sizing it to yourself or are you leaving it as is? Quote

thechosenhitman[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Ok. Was wondering. We were going to fit them to us, & as it sits the guys don't want to do any bondo/painting. Quote

Yeah, I can totally understand not wanting to bondo and paint, it's going to be a lengthy process to get this stuff totally smooth. I had to take a break, my arm was getting tired. Quote

Have you guys worked on the Belt yet? Curious where to cut the piece that attaches to each side to make the belt go around the back. Quote
TMacken[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Got the bucket test fit, I will have to start painting it, once I have all the other pieces ready for paint. Quote
thechosenhitman[TK] Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Have you guys worked on the Belt yet? Curious where to cut the piece that attaches to each side to make the belt go around the back. Arturo has. Before I start mine I want to see his done first, plus our belts are going to be fabric instead of plastic. Quote
Seeker[TK] Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Here's a good reference page I linked our crew too. These images are clickable to 4000x3000 resolution. Here, you could find many answers. http://s149.photobucket.com/user/kwdesigns2/library/RMQ%20Concept%20501st%20Sub%20Pics?sort=2&page=1 Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Cool, glad you guys figured it out. That kit is going to be sweet. The gussets I totally meant chest and back, the clones have a set for the cod and butt as well as the chest and back. Keep up the good work. Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry I have not been on FISD for a while... Wow Jason you have made a great start to this. I am glad you were able to figure out what parts go where. I was going to also give you the link to my Photobucket but Seeker just did so ya use the images I have there as a guild. I also have assembly tips step by step up on www.rmqconceptcrew.com Log on and request access. FWI to anyone else putting this armor together: Bondo is a must! You need to make the joint parts seamless before you paint it. I also have the choice of paints shown on rmqcc. I have a bit more info to add on the helmet but you have a great start on that too..

Kevin W. Thanks Kevin, I've had my eye out on rmqconceptcrew.com eagerly awaiting your updates. Meanwhile, I have all the arms and legs bondo'd and I'm working on sanding them. Hoping to do some painting on Friday. Will post more pics then. Travis Quote
TMacken[TK] Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Posted March 7, 2014 OK, got stuff bondo'd and ready for paint, also laid down some primer today, so I can sand this stuff up, and hopefully give it a final gloss coat on Monday when it's 70 here. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Oh man, that's gonna be awesome. Looking fantastic bro.... Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 The armor will be gorgeous for sure! We have two McQuarries in the French Garisson and they're so awesome : Quote

The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Well, one of them is from the French Garrison, but the other is from Monaco, which is in the french territory but is an independant Outpost. I know they've just finished the armor in time for the event and as it was an informal one they surely didn't take the time to approved them. But i'm sure they'll do Here are some more pics, please do not repost them !

TMacken[TK] Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Posted March 9, 2014 The5thHorseman thanks for the pics, I never realized how tough it would be to put armor together without very many build logs and finished photo's to base yours on. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Amazing pictures, thanks for sharing Quote
TMacken[TK] Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Posted March 10, 2014 And just like that, my armor is shiny, now to let it dry, and begin assembly pretty soon. Quote
