Be thankful you don't own a dremel lol

[ComradeDave[TK]]

oh I do own a dremel Dan lol, but thats something I do not operate under the influence In all honesty, all of my dremeling has been fine so far. Maybe that's why. Experience from cosplay and careful consideration for cuts etc.

Sounds like you should be using the same know how on this build...

[ComradeDave[TK]]

Sigh probably. I think what gets me into trouble is over confidence, excitement and a will to finish quickly. I'm going to slow down and use that attention to detail for research and taking the necessary time to do it right the first time

As my GF has said, multiple times, "Don't try to sew or solder electronics while drinking beer." She's had to redo some things because of that, hahaha.

 

She does Jawa commissions.

Get those bad boys glued mate - just don't forget to "Hot tub" curves into those bridges (I used a large cappuccino mug to form mine against when they come out of the water)

Good tip with the cappacino mug.... I'm doing my shoulders this weekend.

From the screen cap it looks like 4-5 ridge deep onto the chestplate is this correct?

[Pyrates[TK]]

I followed Gary and Tony's wise words and placed my bridges between the 5th and 6th rib.

 

When I tried between the 3rd and 4th rib I had a lot of excess in the back

[TK 2759[501st]]

You can also use Velcro so it's not a permanent fix to strap to chest armour.... This way you can modify it a little... Or measure where you want the shoulder bridges and mark in pencil the bottoms, so you know where to fix them to. Velcro may help with fitting or adjustments though too...

Apparently it is screen accurate to trim the excess to fit, If you ever want to Aaron. Tony, Mark and Paul (trooper master) all pointed that out.

I may still have to do that as well - started researching more again when you brought up your shoulder bridges.

 

Great passing of information Dave - keep it up

[ComradeDave[TK]]

how we doin? I hope this is remotely correct...

 

[Pyrates[TK]]

Looks great!
