Pledford[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 VERY nervous but tried it. Took it slow and proud of myself.<br> Posting a pic to get feedback. Quote
Pledford[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 i know its not perfect....gotta get in there to get more sanded out but afraid I will screw it up. Quote
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 I'd use the dremel for the initial removal of teeth plastic then switch to files and or sand paper for the clean up and final touches. Good start though. 1 Quote
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Good start, but I'm not sure if it's okay to have 10 teeth cut out. I just looked at the ANH Stunt CRL and it calls for only 8 cut out. You could definitely fix that with some ABS paste if it's a roadblock to getting approved. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Looking good, Phil! Like Daniel said, I would go to sandpaper or a needle file from this point. If you need any info. on making the ABS paste to fill in those holes, just let me know. Great job on trimming out the eyes! Quote
Pledford[TK] Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 Well crap. I guess we can chalk that one up to dumb rookie miskates. Well for now I will move forward then go back at the end and fix it. Thanks guys. I will be back on here later tonight with another question after my daughter is asleep. Seems like that's going to be be only time I can get to work on it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 It should be an easy fix - I've seen it done well by plenty of people here. Not worth losing any sleep over I was never able to figure out the correct ABS to acetone ratio to make a good paste myself (otherwise I wouldn't have had to take the Death Trooper route), but you could definitely take Joseph up on his offer to help you out. Good luck with the rest of your build man. 1 Quote
Pledford[TK] Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks man. Got my forearms and biceps done today. I am a teacher and today we were out for snow so I spent the afternoon working on my build.<br> I am doing the inner strips now. Turns out that ABS glue that comes with the kit works great for inner strips Quote
