  1. Hey all! RAIDER (David) here from the Florida Garrison/Tampa Bay Squad. Exploring possibilities of converting my Anovos TK to a TD. Also here to look into the Mimban trooper options as well. My go-to costume is my Shadow Scout...truly a Spec Ops die-hard...but those Mimban capes!!! LOL! Thanks for having me. Looking forward to gathering info, researching, and keeping an eye on the development of the Mimban CRLs.

  4. Short answer: practice. I used a small brush, dipped it in the ABS paste, and carefully brought it to the exact spot I wanted. As the “paint” transfers to the helmet, I dragged the paint brush upwards when it starts to look like the drip is getting too large. The ABS paint sets very quick, so if it looked like it might start to run, I just gently blew on it and tilt the helmet back. The paint forms a skin very quickly so you can use that to keep things in place. Oh, and luck. I actually had no intention of doing this when I did but I was testing the consistency of the ABS paste and it was working on a piece of scrap, so I went for it.

  6. Right now the best option we recommend is Battleship grey Or this Tamiya grey color. Hoping to find something a shade lighter, but for now its the closest commercial paint we can find. For my pack if I cannot find anything I may custom mix a color.

  7. Slate Blue is too blue. Command staff is actually working on settling on a single color. Something closer to battleship grey. I will make a post in my pack build thread tomorrow AM with the options I’ve tried so far. It should be grey in color, with a hint of blue, but it will look grey under most lighting.
