Quick0817 AP TK Stunt armor build thread

[quick0817[TK]]

Hello everyone. I got my kit on Thursday from AP. I am in full excitement mode and yet overwhelmed. The kit was purchased as untrimmed.So i am starting the trimming process while I am still gathering other tools, materials. and ordering other items. I am hoping to get good feedback from you all as this progresses. I will be trying to keep everything I can updated here as this moves along. progressing will be slow as I am super busy in the fall.

 

Anyone with AP that trimmed that can tell me what you used and steps etc would be helpful. I have started on forearms.

 

So I am short guy on the 5'7'' side 170 pounds.

 

Kit is AP untrimmed.

 

Boots ; TK Boots

Blaster: Quest Design

Neck Seal : Trooperbay

S Trim: Trooperbay

Holster: AP Kit holster

Undersuit: BCG brought at Academy

 

 

Box day!

Good luck, man! It's a great kit.. Take your time and enjoy the ride. The forearms are just fine to start with. As you progress through your build, you'll find that you have multiple things going on anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Take a look at several build logs, not just AP, but different ones as well. And take notes! That was very helpful for me.

You'll need to use Photobucket. Once your pics are uploaded, choose a pic, click "share", then click "direct link". Your pic will be copied. Now, go back FISD, when you're in the reply window, click the image icon and paste your pic in the URL.

any updates on your builds?<br>

Thanks.

Things are ramping back up. I do have detonator completed.

Thighs - I messed up on cover strips and shoes them to match unevenness of the inner and outer clam shells. So gonna tear those off and start over. Going to try and make those clamshell parts align at top by doing minor trim and create a new return edge. Then will have a bette cover strip.

Looking good!

[quick0817[TK]]

Does this thigh on right side work or do I need to line up the tops? This is what I am redoing. Trying for centurion and o can only find where right side is expected to see misalignment on AP.

Forearms I have had done awhile. Here are only pics I have from the process and completion.

Same process all use. Trim down. Size a lot. Sand etc. clamps mostly for holding E6000.

Looking good. Your thighs look fine the way you've done them. Good removal of return edge on forearms.

Thigh fronts. I redid the right one by cutting the outside down and using heat iron to bend down a little edge. I'm not very good at that
