Sounds good, except the trimming part, three days on my own armor and all I got done is the leg parts and arm parts and very sore fingers :D
-
More Trimming, there are a lot of parts to the ARC:

The Armor is living the the original BBB so I don't lose parts. I also will be adding boots, A Kama, A backpack and 2 pistols. I'm probably going to need a bigger bin.

what you using for gap filling? I am getting close to that point also.
-
ABS cement, takes longer than bondo because it’s not a paste but is more flexible from what I was told when I built my 212th.
Usually a bead of ABS, let dry, sand, repeat until seamless(bigger areas just use the brush in the can).

hmmm interesting.. well we shall see how mine holds up with bondo.. i went super thin so it should be ok.. cant wait to get the ARCs out!!

I'd say you got 6 hours a day to work on this between now and next week :P have fun with that.

Most of the sanding is done, (cod/butt and chest/back and a few pouches left), then prime, a layer or two of white, and then the blue stuff. Hardest part will be the Rishi Eel on the bucket.

So I'm curious. Do you always have to paint clone kits or is it just a preference?
Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk
-
The clones have to to be seamless for most of the parts, so you have to fill the gaps. After which you have to paint either the whole thing white or colored to match the various squadrons (like 212th, 501st, etc.).

Looking great Scott. What do you need the padding for? The armor bite or better comfort in general?
Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

I put padding in the shins, arms, under shoulders straps, bucket, or anywhere else for added comfort and prevent armor from moving around.
