steamboatphan Posted May 19, 2016 Report Posted May 19, 2016 That's definitely an extra elbow gasket. Jim must've been packing in a hurry or something. Lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Alright....just finishing up the thighs then ready to rig this up. That being said I've had a slight change of plans once again ; )...the gentleman that was supposed to get this going with auto paint is just not quick enough for me, so to speak. That being said I'm going with steamboats Rustoleum universal and I must say.....not only does it spray well, it's glossy as S__T! What I've done is 1 light coat ...30 minute wait and then I just did 1 medium coat and this seems do be doing the trick....if I compare to the helmet and it's good then......boom! .....my goal is as few coats as possible..

Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Here's a shot of the two pieces for color comparison...as SB claims, about 99%...I would even go as far to boast 99.8% ; ). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 24, 2016 by Dynamic1 1 Quote
steamboatphan Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 Looks great! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk 1 Quote
fn32940[501st] Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 That's great. I have working on the shine to my helmet for what seems like forever. Good job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 This just in...thanks Ukswrath! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 Can someone shoot me a link with a usb attachment that works with this fan system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 Can someone shoot me a link with a usb attachment that works with this fan system? Do you mean a power bank? If so, where are you installing the power bank - body or helmet? Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 Hmmmm...I had figured the helmet. The issue I'm having is the battery pack is a bit too heavy inside the lid....when it's placed in the back, the helmet pulls backwards for example. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 A lot of people seem to like the AUKEY 5000. Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 Ok great....ill look into it...thanks JAFO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 Ok great....ill look into it...thanks JAFO If powering both 5v fans off one power bank make sure the output is 1.5A or over. Here's what I built. Will either run with the very small 10000Mah power bank in the pic, or something similar to the AUKEY 5000 that I have on order. Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks...this is very helpful Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Posted May 28, 2016 It's the little things ......weathers great today...layed down some gloss on the clip greebles as well as the knees and belt piece. Here is where I'm at. Should be rigging this up in the next week or so...really just waiting on a 501st buddy of mine to help me measure and mark placement. Really pleased with the gloss on the Rustoleum Universal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Posted May 29, 2016 Got a bit more completed today....here's a quick look at the helmet interior....ended up going with dark primer, satin black, the xenith pads (suggested by SB) and uks fan kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Posted May 29, 2016 Also did a bit of detail work for the belt. I used 1" think by 3" wide foam from Joanne's fabrics. The other I may want to keep free for keys and wallet...maybe my phone for a bunch of selfies as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
