Knockerbot[501st] Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 It we all had some old tripwire around haha Quote
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 It we all had some old tripwire around haha Good point Eric! If you don't happen to have Rebel Incinerator trip wire hanging around you can use 18 gauge thermostat copper wire, fence tie wire, or even a trash bag tie wire will work Quote
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 Next I'll be using bubble gum and chocolate bars to seal a reactor leak in sector seven. 2 Quote

Pyrates[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 Progress report! So this is what's left to do: - glue other shoulder strap to the chest plate - complete 6 more straps (biceps to bells, chest to ab, kidney to back) - paint ab buttons - left side ab rivets - shin closures -buffing/polishing - finish helmet I'm finally starting to see the end of the climb and the air is thick with energy and adrenaline - Oh yaaaa! 1 Quote
Haso[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Great stuff mate. You're also almost at 1000 posts! Do you mean you are going to put as trap from shoulder bell to bicep, as is done from bicep to forearm? I thought it only required the strap that is held by the bicep hook?

Haso[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 *a strap, not 'as trap' Sent from my HUAWEI G510-0251 using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my HUAWEI G510-0251 using Tapatalk Yes the hook will suffice for most, but due to the length of my arms I'm trying to get more coverage so they are as low as possible near the the bottom lip of the bell - it's an effort to prevent them from going out of place.

Pyrates[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Currently hand sewing my new shin closure system - a lot of sewing left to do but it will be worth it in the end. Lots of pics to share after they are assembled and curing! Edited March 25, 2016 by Pyrates Quote
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Additionally, I've been in touch with my Garrison and bought my 4 day pass for the comic expo so I can "Shadow" and learn the ropes of all areas (table, handler/line control, photo booth, and finally TROOPING Added bonus I'm going to help build the sets - did I mention how much my new Badlands family rocks? Going to be snapping photos as much as possible. Epic and great memories to be made ahead - got me just vibin' Edited March 25, 2016 by Pyrates 3 Quote
