I have begun to cut all the pieces, leaving However an some edge for the measurement, I don't want to find myself with a 'dress Strait, the ABS of the master is really very flexible, but to cut is not soft. now I am following pictures that Paul has shared their Facebook page, the mounting system i'll do it with buttons and the basics of ABS glued but the photos on the mounting are truly exceptional and useful

Right forearm measurements and cutting, with a joint strip used as a reference, to avoid overcoming the return edge (master trick).

I chose a 15mm joint strip for my arms.

Hi Tony!

 

I'm guessing you already know this, but just to make sure: The two parts should not overlap under the strip, but go up against each other.

 

On this part, I think the easiest way is to start with the side that has the raised area for the strip (the one you have the strip taped to in the picture) and measure out 7.5 mm (for a 15 mm strip) on each side from where you want the edge of the strip, and then make two straight cuts. Then tape it up and make all size adjustment on the other side.

unfortunately in the photo you see little, but I used a Paul TM trick to mark the measure on return edge, by leveraging the joint strip, and I didn't post the next photo of the result

Looking good, just make sure you nip the edges of your cover strips with a little sandpaper, helps to stop them catching on things ;).

Wow, this is coming along nicely.  Keep up the great work.  Glad to see another TM suit, he does a great job.

When you are lining up for the joining strips, I find it better to do one side at a time. When you lay your joining strip on the armour, make sure it doesn't go over the edge along the armour. The joining edges are not perfectly straight like on most (inaccurate) kits so you might end up with one end showing more joining edge from under the strip than the other. Also, don't worry if the parts don't line up perfectly. You can cut your joining strip ends to suit the armour.

Thanks Paul of the board, I appreciate it, I tried with my right forearm to overeat, while for the left I measured it separately, and it went better, for alignment I refer to that of the wrist, I am using as reference for the lines of I cut, your hero armor that you posted on facebook recently, I find that there is nothing better than seeing what it should be, to assemble it well, especially for the no return edge part of the forearms.
The biceps line, instead I'm taking it in bottom to align them, I saw that with the joint strip, the part that does not match is covered, now I've to try with the undersuit, to make the size before cut

biceps measured and cut, I have to finish the joint strips above the front of the right biceps, which will be significantly shorter than the others due to the non-coincidence of the pieces

When it comes to joining the biceps with a short side, cut the length to the short piece. This is an original LFL bicep for reference.

Hi Tony,
Good progress. I'll be following this one as I'm liking TM's stuff. :-)

You'll probably be doing this anyway, but, just a little tip if I may: it will be easier to shape/trim the cover strips BEFORE you glue them.

As per TM's reference photo, each cover strip has the corners trimmed a little, as below:



It can be tricky to cut them once they're attached to the armour and risks damaging the armour itself if you slip up. (If you were going to do it anyway, just ignore me ;-)

TM is probably best to confirm the ideal way to finish the cover strips.


On a different note, any luck with your Doopys blaster yet?

Dan :-)

thanks, the strips are just resting with the scotch, I still have to start with the glue, at the moment i'm doing cuts and measurements, i'm using as a reference Paul's photos found on his facebook page Tm hero, it's great to see how I cut the stripes according to the type of piece, however if everything goes as I wish, tonight I cut the strips, hoping my son will go to bed soon LOL

Ps for the blaster of doopy I'm waiting paypal, today is the last day for the response from doopy

thanks for the suggestion, I had already stolen your photos from facebook TM Hero for the shorter strip, but I did not really have the photo of an original biceps, and that's just perfect, thank you, I saw in the picture that the strips are rounded, not trapeze as I see on the armor of all, what do you think?

Hi Tony,

 

Hehe, I know that feeling, waiting for the little ones to go to bed. ;-)

 

Yes, the photos on Paul's Facebook page are superb. Such a shame about the Doopy situation. As you know, it took about a month or so for mine, but it did finally arrive. Do you have an alternative in mind?

For the hasbro unfortunately no, I know that on etsy there is a kit but it costs $ 100 to send it here to Venice, and it is not worth it, it would serve as a secondary blaster for photos with the children, I others ordered two that should arrive shortly, of course to mount a doopy kit with the barrel, sold by T-jay as it did not serve him, and another by propdudes https://www.facebook.com/propdudes/ he is my friend and he is helping me with the armor
