Morgul's R1 TK Build Thread

[Morgul702]

Good afternoon everybody! Last Tuesday was my BBB Day!

 

So first things first I did an inspection of all the goods and unfortunately the bucket didn't make it so well.

 

 

so after talking to Jimi, gonna get another one sent this way. I continued on to washing all of the armor.

 

 

After drying I stowed everything.

Thought this would be a good time to test the undersuit.

I feel slightly exposed.

 

 

Had to do some work stuff the last few days. 

But today Is started to work with the armor proper.

and I'm currently plastidipping the inside. to coat the extra fiberglass fibers.

 

I think that's all for now! Can't wait do get this bad boy done!

 

Edit: Fixed pictures.

Uffffff!!!!....Sorry about your bucket, but if everything is solved, no problem...

I am sorry too, that you are missing a piece of your undersuit ...

 

Good luck with your build!!!!

Hi Dane, good luck with your build and sorry for your helmet issue .

Well crap, Jim will make it right. Until then, time to work on all the other stuff. Everyone seems to start with the helmet but there is nothing saying you have to start there. looking forward to your build.

How is this going? I'm acquiring a Jimi R1 kit soon and will be building mine up. Looking for others to check out and follow!

one deployment later, here is a bit of a update on everything!

 

So yes Jimi sent a new bucket and its rad!

 

Everything has has been primed.

 

 

 

 

I have also did a good majority of the sanding that I need to do, (Not really we all know the sanding never stops) and started the fitting processes
 

 

 

As you can see my slim build leaves alot of overlap on the belts and the ab barrel 

 

 

 

 

I have also picked up ukwraths harness

 

 

 

I've marked up the ab barrel to indicate where the breast and back plates will sit, with the connector as well. to determine where I need to trim.

 

 

I've also cut down the back a wee bit.

 

 

Last  but not least I have done a bit of practice sanding/ painting on a few smaller things. these will def be re-sanded and painted. i also filled the back piece and the drop boxes with sign material

 

 

 

 

Still lot to do but at least its some progress. 

 

Oh I almost forgot I did some practice carving on the first bucket so I go that going for me. lol
