Outta tha box

Let the trimming beguin.
This kit is really nicley done , he marks out where to trim, bond and velcro , this makes it real easy to prepare,
The kit is designed to fit a certain body shape, as to have a snug apearance.

Ok after many hours trimming I gave up on the stanley knife and used a belt sander to do the job, it saved hours, then I glued all the bits together, measuring twice gluing once, I used CA glue to bond this kit, .
I then used autofiller to get that seemless look,
I just relised I hate bogging LOL, and got a carpenter friend to assist me, thank heavens or Id still be filling , and sanding

OK guys heres some more pics
Here is my next bit,
I cut out my visor area, and I was so crapping myy self, I used my pretend dremel from Aldis, with no problems, I am just filling it back to fit the lens, but have been off work sick with a viris for the past few days so I havent been able to do any thing at all,

http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo227/mckaneone/Animated%20WIP/IMG_7542.jpg

So Im just waitng on my Range finder, holsters, a pair of resin blasters, pauldron and Kama to turn up and Im almost done.

Just need to glue a few bits here and there attach my detinator, paint, add straps , it doesnt seem like much but it feels like a heap and time is always an issue for me.
Stay tuned.
