Rolf Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Get it done! Belief it or not, i got the right arm and bicep all done Glued the front of the leg, most of the shins etc: The ANH screen used RS armor, are a pure beauty if you ask me. But it do not have the same flat platforms, as the fan made suits like the TE line body suits. Plus some of the RS parts do not line up perfect, but i guess thats the beauty of it as well, being screen used full of history. So i have taken a longer road, trying to get the joining strips on as good as i can. 1. Glue one side at the time on all parts: 2. Then one side of the strip are add on perfect, then i can more easy force the other side one perfect whit the magnets: 3. And then close them up all sides E6000 solid glued together: Also see in the first pic above, the left leg are open in the back. I will then force it together, now i have adding the front solid together. I guess this progress of assemble way don´t mean much, to other suit assembles out there, but it works good on the RS kit here.

Rolf Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Very Cool! watching in anticipation. Thanks bro. Its sure my longest build, but also a very special and long waited kit for me in this hobby. Many of the parts, are not what i have seen before, so it takes time to study them, and get them add together right... But working each day, and after there... be there for my small son alone all most full time, is a time killer, taken me away from this hobby. But now i only need to: 1. Hand paint the helmet details. 2. Make the accurate strapping system in the suit. 3. Get dirty. New pics up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
