sskunky Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Posted January 25, 2010 Well, I've managed to separate most of the parts but I am now left with loads of residue. I think Matt used super glue to put the whole thing together. Does anyone know if I can use superglue remover on ABS? Or would it be better to sand the residue off? Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 I believe superglue remover will also eat away the ABS. Unless you can find something that says it's safe for plastics, it's probably best to sand off the residue. Quote
sskunky Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Posted January 25, 2010 Thanks Brian...... I've just been soaking the parts in a hot bath for a couple of hours as I have been told it softens the glue . Superglue hates water apparently. I'll let you know how I get on. Quote
sskunky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Well, I have separated all the parts and removed most of the superglue by picking and sanding. I think Matt had shares in Superglue, he used so much! I think I'm nearly ready to sand it all and repaint. I'll have to wait for some nice weather as I don't have a workshop or garage. Quote
sskunky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 OK, a couple of days later and I have separated and sanded of all the Superglue off and am ready to sand the parts ready for painting. I haven't bothered separating the arms as I think Matt must have done these first and don't look too bad! Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hey Mark, Looks like you have been hard at work mate! Excellent job! How long did you have to soak the armor? Quote
sskunky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hi Tom, I soaked it for a few hours but to be honest if I were to do it again I wouldn't bother and go straight in with the sanding. I have to prep it all for painting now but I'm not gonna rush as I have to do it outside and the weather is pants ere at the mo! Quote
sskunky Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Looking at the pictures that Butt plate needs trimming! Should I fold the edge over to or just trim it? Quote
Nassik Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 How's this kit coming along? Any progress or is it carefully edging forward? Quote
sskunky Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Posted February 4, 2010 Hi Shawn, I am ready to paint but the weather here is crap and wet and cold so as I have to do it outside I have to wait for the weather to improve. It's a waiting game now...... Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 If it was my kit, I would fold the edge over . Looking at the pictures that Butt plate needs trimming! Should I fold the edge over to or just trim it? Quote

sskunky Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Posted February 4, 2010 Good shout Tom. I'll do that! Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Mark, Just intrigued as to whether you ever finished putting this armour back together and how it turned out. Quote
sskunky Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 It's still in a box! I may get round to finishing it as it's piece of TK history but to be honest I've just bought the CO TK moulds and am releasing my own set of accurate armour with JoeR soon. So the need to finish this hasn't been so important. I plan on making ANH, ESB and ROTJ. We have a few never before released helmets and a suit of armour. I'm just working on the bucks for the former at the mo. Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Of course ... I've been following the thread but didn't really put two and two together for some reasons. Good luck with the project. Looks really promising. Quote
