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

Next I'll be using bubble gum and chocolate bars to seal a reactor leak in sector seven.

But not as cool as "Airwolf"

Airwolf was good but Macgyver will always be my favorite!

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!

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?

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.

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!

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'
