So I bought a Dremel and some Lexan scissors. That really cut my "cut" in half! LOL. Still chipping away at my armor when I have free time on my off days. I tried Photobucket and still no luck with the pictures. TK3056 has been helping me a lot! Thanks again. I will try and resize my pics smaller then try Photobucket again.

Photo Bucket Worked! problem was my laptop did not work for me. So I tried my old desktop and Presto!

 

 

Forearms Done!

 

[Jaren[TK]]

Thanks All! Now I can start posting my progress again

 

Of course now, I will have to wait till after work

[Stormy1992]

Yayyayayayay!!!!

Its great that you got photobucket to work Jaren.  I've been lucky to be able to look at Ian's and Adam's MTK builds.  Now I can also look at yours along the way as well.  Quite a few MTK's popping up lately.  They really seem to be great armors and look great when they are finished.  Now its actually time to get get going and finish them!  Good Luck...

[LinxStargazer]

This is a good start.  I have an hero build that I am attempting to clean up and get 501st ready. we have a long way to go. but it should not be that hard.

[Jaren[TK]]

Wipe that dust off your FX ANH Hero and let's build some armor! LOL! Glad to have you Linx!

[Jaren[TK]]

Just keep trimming, Just keep trimming, Just keep trimming. Sounds like a song! LOL

 

 

Biceps 

 

 

Zap a Gap it!

 

[Jaren[TK]]

Looks like I need to sand and dremel some parts down.

[Jaren[TK]]

The Left Bicep is a concern. I will have to try Toybiz's method to help fix it.

 

 

Oval and not round.

 

 

Thanks Toybiz's and The5thHorseman. I will be trying to fix it soon.

Jaren, I could have sworn that I'd commented on your build already but I don't see any comments anywhere... 

 

Looks like you're off to a great start.  That first cut can be stupidly daunting and intimidating, but before too long (and you probably already are to an extent) you'll be picking it up and hacking/drilling/sanding/etc at it like it's no big deal.  LoL.

 

Looks like you've made some good progress so far.  Just continue to read and research, then measure twice and cut once. 

 

Most importantly:  HAVE FUN!!  THIS IS AWESOME!!!

I'm pretty sure you did too Dark CMF? Oh well, Thanks for the motivation! I'm trying to chip away at it when I get spare time.

[Stormy1992]

Looks good brother!!

[Jaren[TK]]

I got my boots (TKBoots)

 

 

my canvas belt (TKittell)

 

 

and my neck seal and holster. (Darman)

 

 

Now I just need to finish trimming!

[Dark PWF[Staff]]

You're definitely starting to build up some steam!!

 

Keep at it, everything looks great!

[toybiz[TK]]

Looking great! All the pieces are there...

Just take your time to fit the pieces to your needs.

[Stormy1992]

Looks great and alot of product that i went with. the belt is wonderful! neck seal is too. i need to find a way to wrap the material around to the back.. didnt have a back piece. maybe i can make a question thread about it. anyway looks all good man! i may look into some TK boots for myself also.

[Jaren[TK]]

Thank you Guys!

 

Still just trimming away!

 

Put the curve on the knee ammo boxes using trooperbay's video.

Hey Jaren everything is looking good. I don't know what it is but the thighs have been the thing that is scaring me the most. I finally did some more final trimming on one of them lastnight and I'll hopefully get the next one tonight. It's nice having our MTK build threads to look at while we work. I wish there were like 100 more MTK builds.

 

I hope you get to your sniper plate before me because I hear that is a huge pain. I want to cheat off of you!

[starsaber25[Admin]]

Oh and did you ever do anything with that left bicep? I did and I pretty much followed toybizs idea and I think it looks a lot better

[Jaren[TK]]

I am still going to give my left bicep a (Toybizs) hot bath when I get more time.

 

I will for sure post my sniper plate when I get around to do it.

 

If we were racing you would have won a long time ago. LOL!

 

I just need more time to build. I am still trying to build a time machine. I just need flux capacitor and a DeLorean! Or if I could locate the "time" infinity stone. It's like one of the last infinity stones we have not seen yet in the Marvel Movies. Guardians was Outstanding by the way!
