New CC Jango knee armor

Come on guys... pay up!. The sooner the faster
we get these beauties.

I'll offer to buy the pair that hasn't been paid for so we can get the order out. Then you can throw that person on the next run list for being late to the party.

sent you a pm Cruzer,

I signed up on the list on the "run" thread you made...never recieved a PM about payment. I'm still sitting on the money, so...I await your info =)

Paid back on the 8th, but didn't bother to post! Don't come after me with the pitch forks .. please!

I'll offer to buy a pair, if it hasn' been paid for. If this helps.

i'll ship the stuff Monday, even if i will not recive the last payment.

[AK]Edge i quote what i wrote in the other topic:

i prefer start to work on the new run and after take your money. As i did in the first run. Normally i don't have a lot of time to work on them, so i don't like have people that are waiting and are impatience!

I know someone who will buy the last pair. Send them to me and I will send ANOTHER payment!

package sent to Cruzer!!!

I apologize for my misunderstanding. I thought you were waiting on payment for the run I had signed up for, not the one before it. I was worried I was holding things up =p. Sorry! :o

So guys, the iternational shipping had some problems and the package come back to me the 24 dec. I resent the package and the second shipping was more lucky!

Cruzer, write here the singolar shipping cost, so the buyers can give you back the money.

The lady at the post office said I was so cute that shipping was FREE!

FettOfficer, yours went out USPS Priority mail because I needed a bigger box for your other goodies to fit. So you should probably see it Mon. or Tue.

Daaang Bro! Hook ups at the Federal Post Office....lol
I bet you have unlimited security access at the pentagon as well.



Wow! I feel like a little kid again...waiting for Santa for my xmas gifts..

Hey Fab,
Received the knee armor today and they look freaken awesome.
Thanks so much for doing this run for us.

Question: Probably a silly question but:
What do you recommend using to attach the knee
darts to the knee armor since no screws or bolts are being
used?

You got yours already? Well figures, your practically in each others back yard! In regards to mounting the knee darts, I would use "Metal Fusion", this product is as tough as nails and dries in 5 minutes!

Can't wait for the next run of knees to be made from you Dark-Side this month.

Thanks Eric,
I will give Metal Fusion a try. I was also thinking of CA Glue which dries
practically instantly.

i used CA glue on my knee (also to built them) and work very well!

I got the knee armor today... Wow! They are beautiful. I have decided that all of my armor is going to be CC from now on. I'm in awe of these.

Very cool.
I hadn't realized they weren't tapped for bolt on application.
I'll probably be drilling mine out and tapping them for a more secure installation.

For more security you can add an aluminium piece, as you did with your JD knees

Received my CC knees last night! They are BEAUTIFUL! Dark-Side truly is a master craftsman... the CC looks amazing and the FG-castings are flawless. I couldn't be happier w/ the pieces - it really shows that Dark-Side is taking great pride in offering only the best to his fellow Jango enthusiasts...

A shout-out to Cruzer also for taking care of receiving the order from Italy and then splitting it up and sending it to each of the guys here in the USA... and as if that's not enough of a pain in the rear... Cruzer even paid the domestic postage out of his own pocket... thanks so much, man!

Dealing w/ either Dark-Side or Cruzer always turns out to be a great experience... way above the rest/average... I wish, there were more people like those two in this hobby.

Now - I've only gotta find some time to glue those knees together... and take some photographs...

Cheers - marcus

Amen!!

Thanks guys, i'm really proud to read your comments!:thumbup

Actually, Dark-Side already had them separated, wrapped, marked, etc.
I just threw them in boxes with some rocks and sharp pieces of metal and sent them off!
U.S. Customs did seem to give up from tearing them all apart after one set though.

I use my Oooooold topic to post the tutorial

This is the kit buffed



Use steel wool 000 and after the 0000


Now you need a Dremel with this tool


If you don't have a dremel or similar, you can use a small rasp

So,

Darts





Knee ready

Awesome guide! Just assembled mine about 15 minutes ago.

Loving the knee armor, Dark-Side!

Great guide. What glue do you recommend for the strongest hold? I had an issue with the right knee snapping at the glued joint because it was right on my knee. Also, do you know of any way to make one a bit wider, like with spacers or something

This is what I use:
Amazon.com: Maxi-Cure Extra Thick Glue, 1 oz.: Home Improvement
Amazon.com: Bob Smith 151 Insta-Set 2oz Accelerator: Home Improvement

Amazing stuff.

I have big legs myself, so I was worried about kneeling and them breaking or cracking. With Dark Side's, I haven't had that issue yet. If they were constantly cracking or whatever, I'd take a heat gun to either side and bend it out a bit more.

Just my two cents.

well, I recommend to use cyanoacrylate glue, any brand.
Do not use epoxy glue. It's not the best because the knee are in polyester resin.

About make them wider, you can use this fast tutorial(for both sides):







I suggest you use the second method just because you use the glue only one time.
Btw, when you add the straps, don't glued them on the lateral pieces. Just glue them on the frontal piece.

So, I know the real knee armor are just in 1 piece, but I also saw they were cracked.
In my knee, at the most you can break them where there is the glue. But you can always use the glue again and they are fixed without any evident crack.

Nice Work.

are these still available or have a missed the boat

I'm a seaport, boats depart every day
PM me if you want buy them.
