Pyrates[TK] Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Posted February 17, 2016 Next is to fit the aluminum brackets to position holes for the screws. Mark your hole position with the bracket as flush as possible to ensure alignment. Ensure that you use a drill bit that is just barely larger than the screws - this will allow air to escape as you twist on the end caps as demonstrated on Vern's TD thread (the link is all the way back on Page 7 of my thread lol) Additionally I had to use my universal correction tool (hammer) to pound the tips of the TD clips so they would sit as flush as possible without damaging the aluminum. ...I need another cold one Quote

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Posted February 17, 2016 Answer: Yes on occasion but I have to use the foam puck - wee man's orders Normally it's Rum - no pun intended but when it's free beer I cant say no lol. PS - you made my day - that wasn't spray paint it was Testors (I can't believe it's not butter) 3 Quote
Knockerbot[501st] Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 I can't find the post for some reason to reply to about this but the only issue I see unless you can find a demilled stirling in Canada is that you have nothing to really make the mould from. Second issue is the Canadian Stirlings were larger so even if you did find one it would be a bit larger than it should be. <br><br> Not 100% sure on that size thing though. I'm taking that from the spaced out mind of my father. Quote

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 While wrapping up what I hope is the last of the 120, 600, 2500 grit oh my - I have been gluing parts together to have some concurrent activity - one forearm together and lots more to do! Woop woop! Shoulder Bells ready for final inspection Quote
Sentry71[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Awesome work, Aaron! The nice weather is supposed to start tomorrow, so I have been holding off on sanding edges until I could do it outside. Should be a white dust weekend here. Quote

Many thanks my friend - as for the ABS dust well this gif best describes my escape from the basement after each evening... http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/0/4/a/highres_268512362.jpeg 1 Quote

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 I still need to install inner cover strips prior to rigging of webbing(straps) that connects to the bicep - I have also used some abs paste to fill in the space where the edges don't line up nicely. Then I will make the space disappear with some TLC filing and sanding. Quote
Knockerbot[501st] Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Are you rounding those babies! It's looking good. I'm Just taking mine to Chwillis in Oakville and getting his help to make them round lol Quote
THX1978[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Nice work so far. Still waiting for mine to arrive. But have a question. Is it best to do the outer cover strips first? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited February 19, 2016 by THX1978 Quote
Pyrates[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 Is it best to do the outer cover strips first then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Very good question! As for my answer: I have larger forearms and I tried to only give myself enough room to be comfortable - I wasn't sure that I could fit inner cover strips without them starting to pinch. I may just end up pasting and sanding the inner area. I have to try wearing it for a bit. On the other side of the coin I have seen other threads did the inner strips first - best bet is to ask the more vetted troopers. Quote

Pyrates[TK] Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 I have an answer to rounding the forearms out... Don't. Just popped the cover strip off trying to round it out. Quote
