[Weathering from my TD]

Hey, thx guys....the photos are of a guest, which I was allowed to take. I could make own images not yet....

@Terry: I could pick out your threat out of your backpack building good tips

[Weathering from my TD]

You are one crusty TD! Looks great on camera. Your TD must be a very conscientious rifleman to keep his DLT-19 so clean and free of dust!

Kudos on finishing your armor.

Because of the weapon ....such a dirty pig I am not yet

The weapon is cleaned after each battle. There are marks of wear on it.....scratches, etc... Thx for the feedback ^^

Thanks mate.

[Pandatrooper's ATA TD build]

Hey Terry, your build on the sniperplate is very great and idea-rich

That pleases me....

[Sitting in armor?]

You are not to sit .... rather on rebel hunt go

[I modeled this... radio]

The parts were printed using Somos 11122 and cast in Mold Max 40 silicone. I think because of the way the parts are grown, one micro-thin layer at a time, this creates ridges on the vertical surfaces, and if it is not sealed with paint, then the silicone grips onto it.

This past weekend I continued plucking, scraping, and cleaning the little bits off the faceplate. Sanded the edges and valleys with 320 grit sandpaper. Then I hit it with Testors gray primer and sanded with 600 grit between coats. Once the primer was cured, I put on a couple layers of Rustoleum Satin Black.

Warning - Do not put 3D printed parts in your hot car to cure the paint!

Funky warping and craziness will ensue!

So I wrestled to get that straightened out...

I layed on two coats of Mann's Ease Release and used a medium paintbrush to ensure it got into all of the corners. Mixed up the remainder of the Mold Max 40 and de-gassed it on the vac table:

I carefully poured the silicone onto the radio faceplate and started the 24 hour clock, waiting for it to cure.

This evening I was very pleased to find the silicone mold separated from the faceplate with ease, and every detail was captured!

Time to pour some Black Onyx!

Supposedly it has a pot life of 2 1/2 minutes. But at 87 degrees Fahrenheit, it's only 90 seconds!

Fortunately, it came out of the mold very easily. Take two turned out this beauty:

So, the faceplate mold is good to go, and I can ramp up and make a bunch of them. However, the big knob did not survive the sticky silicone extraction, so we have to get that one printed again

Depending on when the big knob arrives, I should have kits ready to go in two weeks!

Oh, the new panel in my kit with it?
