Helotech[TK] Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 Hey! This is the left forearm I'm working on. SDS armor and I'm adding cover strips. This is the front view. Any recommendations on how to trim the cover strips with regards to the main armor angle? Should I keep the cover strip edge at 90 degrees or do you think it should be cut at an angle. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Posted July 8, 2019 Hey Dave great question. Here's a photo of armor used in the movie, note how the strip is trimmed. Hope this helps Quote
Helotech[TK] Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks. Not sure how I missed that. A trimming I will go... Quote

Mognathal Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Hey! I've been having some issues with the back of the thighs, the issue being the angle it comes in causing it to not lay flat against the connecting strip. How could i fix this? Edited September 9, 2019 by Mognathal Quote

Sn4k3 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 Very nice thread. Anyone here knows how to effectively tell the difference between the real and counterfeit E6000? I buy from amazon.es Quote

I buy from amazon.es The genuine product is clearly marked Made in the USA, and has a batch number on each tube. They do not sell to distributors in Asia, so if you try to save a few bucks by ordering from a seller there it is not the real stuff. If you have any doubts, you can contact the manufacturer at www.eclecticproducts.com, and they will let you know where to get it. Amazon should be a safe bet. If you use PayPal at least you have some recourse if it's not the real deal. The fake stuff really is garbage. Quote

Great, thanks for the link to the site, it helps, it is recommended buy the plus version or the regular enough? Or better? Quote

Frank75139[501st] Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 Is it just me or are none of the photos showing up? This is an extremely useful thread that was going to be forwarded to someone but it was brought to my attention the pics are gone. Do we have an updated thread?

The problem is that when the thread was created Photobucket was used as the image hosting site. Since then they have changed their policies and whatnot. Thus pictures linked from there are now missing or blurred if you do not pay their fees. Quote

For me the linked pictures would work if I payed their fees, but they are blurred because I don't: But it looks like in this thread the pictures are not linked at all. The best bet would to redo this thread with updated pictures–which would be a lot of work. I loved this thread when I started here; it was the main guide I used to build my kit. 1 Quote
