From what I have seen on the t-visor.com site try 5 minute epoxy all the way around where the t-visor will be joined. Should work out. That is what I am planning on using if I do ever get a t-visor LOL!

Great paint job also vod! Love the overall design and colors!

 

[Alpha 02]

That is insane! I love it

Looks awesome vod!!!

And on the visor, Tal's correct; 5 minute epoxy works well.

well i got the T visor in...... i should have went with the 1 minute epoxy!!! B^P my arms are killing me and after about 5 attempts and also a mild heart attack when i thought i ruined my visor i finally got it in and sticking! and it dont look to bad, not as good as i really wanted though. THAT was the hardest part so far it took me about a good 2 hours to finally get it in and set. i ended up trimming about quarter of an inch off the two ends and that helped out a lot.

anyone know of a good place to get a RF stalk?? preferably hallowed out?? there was a guy on here that was selling aluminum ones but he never returned my PM.. that really sucks kuz he dont live to far from me

You know I was thinking about the stem for the range finder but I figured why not and use something else. Go get yourself a Captain Rex helmet; it has the stem and the finder; and you can see through it too LOL! It is up to you. I am planing not going with the range finder rather I am going to do what the clones do when they enter dark places. Put on two lights. That will look good for my helmet. LOL!

thanks!!! i had a few problems but it all turned out quite well... a bit better than i had first thought

 

[Commander720]

Just think what Vader would say: "Most impressive!"

welp i had a bit of a small heart attack today while working on finishing up my armor... all i really needed to do to it was seal it all up with a mat clear coat sealer i had... all went well out in the garage till i came back out to check on it and see if it was dry...when i went out there i saw all my armor looked powdery and smoky looking.... I freaked picked it all up and brought it inside under a good light and my heart just sank!!! it all looked ruined again!! i was thinking i was going to have to sand it all down AGAIN and start all over AGAIN! well i thought i would try a couple of things first i got a paper towel damp with rubbing alcohol.. that worked till it died B^P but then i thought i wonder if i try spraying more of the sealer on there if that would work so i tested a small spot and it worked!! i think it messed up because of the humidity here right now... its been raining all dang day! so after getting a lil high on fumes (kuz i sprayed it inside!! he he) the armor was saved but im out of the sealer and still have cod, chest diamond, and back plate to seal up. B^) but that was my adventure for the day!! B^P

a couple of quick questions for you masters out there B^)

first duz the Kama go over or under the butt plate???

Second should the color armor go over or under the back plate armor??

there was a third but i forget what it was B^( any ways any help would be awesome!! thanks guys and gals! B^)

 

[Lifeburn]

Kama goes over the butt plate and collar goes over the back.

 

[L3g3ndQ]

Kama goes over the butt plate and collar goes over the back.
