Hey everyone it has been a long time since i have posted on this thread, i have had exams the past couple of weeks so i had to knuckle down...
any way, last night i had a test fit of all the armour i have done so far, here are some photos:
remember that this is just a base coat colour on all the pieces, i will paint all the detail on once the assembly is complete.
you have probably noticed that the toe caps are not on properly (I still need to strap them), i need more padding in my helmet so it sits right, i also need to pad my gauntlets so they sit right. also none of the torso parts are complete yet. i still need to find rivets that work/ an alternative to rivets (bolts).
I had a problem with the calves, the body filler that i used in them was not mixed up enough, there was large warpage in some area's, i had to crack out the body filler and re reinforce the calves.
IF ANYONE IS USING BODY FILLER, MAKE SUREE IT'S MIXED THROUGH COMPLETELY!!!!
exams finish today, i have my last one coming up in 2 hours (Wish me luck). so school holidays will start soon, i have 2 months off so i will be posting updates regularly.
