Penguitrooper Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Posted August 6, 2016 I have a very minimal gap in the thigh armor. It's about 2-3mm wide and at the bottom of the thigh armor. Should I reglue it? Or is it passable? Quote
lucnak[TK] Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 You mean between the two ridge parts? Not the end of the world. You could always fill with ABS sludge. Keep in mind the right thigh front will be hidden by the ammo pack. 1 Quote

Penguitrooper Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Posted August 8, 2016 Could you pop a picture of the area up? I went ahead and redid it. It wasn't very solid. I'll post a pic once it's done curing. 1 Quote

Penguitrooper Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 One shin is 95% complete. The other needs a cover strip. Both thighs need outer cover strips on front and back. My belt is 100% complete(YES!!!) my arms are curing over the weekend. Anyone have any tips for gluing mesh for mic tips? Also, can I use E6000 for my hand guards? Quote
Penguitrooper Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 Sorry for lack of pictures on my build. I'll be sure to post them on Monday to show my work. Quote

Also, can I use E6000 for my hand guards?I'm not sure in terms of the hand guards, but for the mic tips many use CA ( super glue ). Saying that, you may find that once completed they fit really well and dont require any.Hope this helps Marc Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk Quote

Hope this helps Marc Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk I bought my mic tips pre built from Keith here and I went to install them in my bucket and pushed on the mesh and it detached from the mic tip. I think it may be too loose to set it inside the tip and just let it sit there. One won't budge and the other won't stay put. Quote

If that doesnt work, and the mic mesh is beyond repair, then you may want to start from scratch and replace both, which is pretty straight forward. All you will need to do is buy a cheap mesh sieve, cut out the meshing, mold it over a AA battery and then install in the mic. Mine did not come with the mesh fitted in the tips, so this was what i did. They dont have any glue, and theyre not budging It sounds harder to do than it really is, if I can do it, then anyone can! Let me know how you get on. Marc Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk Quote

Penguitrooper Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Posted August 15, 2016 Alright, so I got home today and checked my belt. I happened to glue one of my forearm halves backwards. I got a huge laugh at it. I was in a rush to leave the house but wanted to get something curing before getting out. I'll be on the fix this week and reverse the situation. Quote
Penguitrooper Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Posted September 7, 2016 Snap plates have been assembled! Hoping to have them installed by weeks end. 2 Quote
Penguitrooper Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) I had to reglue one of my forearms. While they were curing, the sides didn't butt up so there was a gap too big for my liking. It's now fixed and I've also glued the snap plates to my kidney. My legs should be done soon. Any suggestions on how long the straps should be between the snaps? Edited September 10, 2016 by Penguitrooper Quote

Everyone will have different measurements Marc My Wips... http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61082 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38021-CTID's-RWA-ANH-Stunt-WIP......-501st-Here-we-go! http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60937 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38731-CTID's-Doopy's-E-11-Build 1 Quote
