viewoptic's ESB Build

[viewoptic]

Aluminum flamethrower arrived.

Climbers helmet arrived. I almost hate to drill the rivets out to remove the harness inside because it’s in such good condition. Since it’s going towards this build it’s worth it though... I just have to figure out the best way to install it inside of my helmet.

That's a very nice example of a harness! Rip it out!

It's coming out very soon! Just gotta drill out the rivets lol.

Took apart the MQ1 to get ready for installation of the circuit board into the helmet. I will cut out and remove the keypad later prior to installing the keypad on the gauntlet.

Always sad to see a dying MQ-1

The whipcord housing from Cantina Dude arrived and is awesome! I look forward to getting this piece painted up and completed.

Nice! I need to finish my print too!

Did the final visor installation today, very pleased with the results. I started on a few more things as well...

Installed MachineCraft newest updated thruster plates in my jetpack thrusters.

Started preparing to install the MQ1, I recently read Ord Mantell used shoe goo for the mysterious goop. I found using roof brown and mud mixed with the shoe goo accomplishes what seems to be the correct color.

Here we go, time to start trimming the new .060 MinuteFett armor. Hopefully I will be able to start priming tonight as well. I plan to start painting as soon as my armor damage stencils arrive from MinuteFett.

Looks great, and the colors of the goop concoction came out nice with the mud and roof brown.
