ctankep Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 ( HAHA upgrading http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUH3JQjcweM&sns=em Anyway... So I received my TD abdomen buttons and sniper kneeplate from TM last week (and E6000 is on the way). I already have the pauldron, I have a DLT19 (thanks to the hero TD5592) and I have an beaten up armour. So to buy list: Pouches. Anyone got any? Oh and here is pics on the destruction process: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctankep Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Noel: Cheers mate! Ok so, i have started trimming down the two parts that i need to fixate on my armour. The Kneeplate is done i think. Or what do you guys say? But what i really need help with is the abdomen buttons... i have started trimming and i am afraid i took to much or that i have a lot to cut away before i am done... as it is now it sits weird on the armour... :/ Any input?

ctankep Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Anyone? Also the humbrol gloss gray nr 5 was to light and did not match the grey on my lid :/ what do you use for gray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The kneeplate looks fine! As for the final trimming on the buttons, I generally go for a fine grade sandpaper for the final adjustments, making the edges smooth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 As for the humbrol color, I think you may find the info here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Now trim that brow and get a new avatar so you won't be taken for a rebel scum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctankep Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Now trim that brow and get a new avatar so you won't be taken for a rebel scum! The humbrol paint i use is the same as on the chart... So maybe with more layers it will be darker? :/ Change my Lando "to cool for school" clarissian? Never! No but seriously i am too scared to mess it up how do i go about trimming it? :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 No but seriously i am too scared to mess it up how do i go about trimming it? :0 Not all TD's had a high brow so you really don't need to do it. It just looks more laidback and cool imo Or you can do it a bit more modest than the road block captain who had the highest brow. I used a scalpel when I trimmed mine, and some fine sandpaper to even out the edge. Take a little at a time until you like what you see.

ctankep Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ok, so an update is in place i recon! Painted helmet, will do the second coat tonight. Also, will fix the black outline after the gray has dried. All in all i am pretty happy with the result. The belt is finished and i am happy with the weight loss after losing my holster. One thought: The abdomen buttons, shouldn't they look like my old ones: It feels like i have ALOT to trim on those buttons to be honest? Or am i wrong? :D:D Oh, and yes, getting dirty soon as well, i am really looking forward to THAT part /Cheers Varg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctankep Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ok, helmet has been painted. I am fairly happy with it. What do you think? Now I am waiting for the E6000 glue and then it is time to glue on the sniper kneeplate and then i have to put on the abdomen buttons. I would like to know if my assumptions are right about having to cut a conciderable bit more of the buttons before gluing. I am guessing i am right (see pictures in previous post.)

FIVE Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 One thought: The abdomen buttons, shouldn't they look like my old ones: It feels like i have ALOT to trim on those buttons to be honest? Yes, you should trim off a lot. Look at Rolf's armor in the example SWAT thread. It's a really great example. That 3 button plate should be flat.
