Please help me ! AP Armor Build

If that is the paper you're using, it is regular timber type paper. Look for the black/grey coloured wet 'n' dry.

That's what I use.  The red is for rough work (rounding corners) and the yellow serves to smooth edges.  I used that on all the edges of the armor and it is very nice !  But yeah, does not works well on glossy plastic ...  Thanks, I'll check for something finer and wet.  There's a models shop (like trains and planes) not too far from here, I'll go see if they have something like that.

Auto stores would probably have it too.

I began painting my boots :-)

I stripped the black dye on the boots with deglazer, but since I'm stupid and didn't buy 2 bottles I finished with acetone, following a hint from Eric (Tolo).

Here is the result after 1 layer :

 

After the second layer :

 

I used a leather spray dye. It is far from covering completely after 2 shots, but it seems to go well. I decided to not cover the elastics and see how it goes.

I took some pictures.  I thought they would be better, it's too dark ...  I don,t have a good camera and I took a chance when someone with a good one showed up at home, but it was too dark outside to take pictures with good light.  Do you think it's sufficient for basic approbation ?

Heck yea!  Looks fantastic.  

[Spycee[TK]]

Thanks ! I sent my pictures to my GML and I will wait for my approbation. I don't think there will be a problem :-)

[Tolo[TK]]

Yeah they are perfect.

[Spycee[TK]]

Merci ! C'est loin d'être parfait, ya quelques affaires qui me gossent, mais overall ça a ben de l'allure je pense :-)

[OsotheBear]

Thumbs up!

[Bulldog44[TK]]

You did a great job on your armor. Well done!

[Spycee[TK]]

Thanks guys ! I'm still waiting for my approbation ... I know it can take some time, but it's killing me !

[Clamps[TK]]

Best of luck Alex, I am sure you will the Garrison and your Squad proud with that kit. 

[Spycee[TK]]

I was supposed to do my first unofficial trooping this morning, but instead I did my first OFFICIAL trooping !!! :-)

 

I got approved this morning at 3:35 AM. TK-42178 reporting for duty !

 

I suspect that our GML was a bit drunk after their Christmas party and, like an ugly lady, I was prettier after a couple of drinks, so the approval was very easy at the end of the night ;-)
