A little bit more for today.
I was not happy with the progress i was making with the gauntlets (practically nothing today) and the RF. So I shifted my focus to the rest of the armor.
I attached the RF stalk, and had to carve a small hole out of the back of the RF ear, haven't stuck that on yet. Gonna still try to use earth magnets, but need a countersink bit first.
I trimmed the back armor a bunch so it isn't as big anymore. Didn't bother to take pics; it looks basically the same, just with a bit taken off the edges to make it fit me better.
I dented the armor using a lighter and a Sharpie. Then put a coat of primer on all the pieces except the left chest. Going to wait until I get my Fettronics light display and trim the slots.
Anyway, heres some pics, not much to really show tho. Forgot to take pictures of the helmet, but just imagine a shoddy looking ESB with no visor and an ugly bolt to hold the stalk on.
The bottom left of the chest piece isn't bent, thats just my shadow.
Can't really see the collar dent, but it's there.
Thinking the ab dent needs to be a little bigger, but with weathered and layered paint, it will look more pronounced. And the little dent by the tri-holes is not supposed to be there. Came like that; could use bondo or body filler to fix it, I guess, but I'm too rushed right now to really care.
Did I miss a dent on the bottom edge of the ab? My memory may just be bad right now cuz I'm tired.
For tomorrow I want to get the vest attachment done on the armor and then maybe put a coat of paint on the armor, get some greeblies put on the gauntlets, like the left gaunt hose connector, then maybe go shopping for some elastic straps for the knees and the thong, as well as pick up some foam padding for the inside of the the gauntlets and helmet.
Horrible run on sentence, ;alskdjf;laskdjf.
