My apologies for the 2 week delay guys! Work has just been crazy not to mention the escalating 100 degree weather ...and now SDCC this coming week. Going to work some more on some long overdue rigging today....should have some updates soon.

Alright guys, back at it... Going to try and get some bits done this weekend. For adjustability, im contemplating using clips vs buttons on the thighs and shoulder bells. Will do some trouble shooting and let you guys know... Need to get this thing done!

[Dynamic1[501st]]

Was able to pick up the clips today...the plan is to rig this similar to my Ironman build. Will update with some pics shortly...

Here is what my clips will look like for the most part. This will allow for some "wriggle room" if adjustment is needed Once I get the thighs rigged, its off to the chest and shoulders...SLOWLY but surely guys...

Ok, These updates are just PITIFUL at best LOL!!! Just picked up some extra webbing. Will be sewing 4 1" straps (2 front, 2 back) to the bottom of the vest for the thighs...then, on to the chest, back and shoulder bells...

Headed to an armor party tomorrow so i can be accelorate this build...my plan is to finish up the thigh and butt rigging followed by the chest and yolk. In the meantime ive painted and gloss coated the TD. Pics to come shortly ; )

[Dynamic1[501st]]

Alright...Ended up completing 1 of the 5 things I had wanted to LMAO!!! Yep, it was one of those frustrating armor sessions. In strapping this up it was obvious the thighs still needed a bit more trimming on the inside. Also, the strapping needs to be moved laterally a couple of inches (See green lines). I guess this is what these armor partys are intended for huh? 

 

 

 

 

[Dynamic1[501st]]

Here are some pics after the trimming. Although its difficult to tell, much better I think. I also plan on bringing the ab section up about an inch or so.

Made yet, a bit of headway once again. Went ahead and adhered the shin blocks with some epoxy, followed by filling the seams. For the filler I just used the same epoxy loctite "concrete" version, (which holds up to 3000 lbs.) along with a tad bit of spot putty.

 

[Dynamic1[501st]]

Ok, quick lunch update...went ahead and did a quick sand and primer throughout the shin block seams....Good enough for me! I also cut the seams on the spats and ill smooth those out later as time permits. Im determined to get this thing completed before X-Mas!

Another quick one...Was able to lay down 3 very light coats of white. That being said, and bc Im always confused myself on what exactly "light" is...here we go......

 

Basically I pull the trigger and hold, walking in a circle around the targeted piece with a back-and-forth/ top-to-bottom lateral movement (of the spray arm), followed by returning to the start position. I repeat this 3 times and for me, this constitutes "3 light coats"...BOOM! Tomorrow I will throw down another coat and see how the color is.
