Sorry for the long stretch between posts. I had finals for Grad school last week so I was so busy I hadn't touched my armor. However, over this week I have gotten my limbs all done and I am ready to go back to work on the bucket. I actually didn't do any trimming, but a lot of awkward angled wedging using my hands, knee, and stomache, but the darn would pop itself right out, so I taped it in place from the inside using painters tape. Then I used a flat piece of very thing plastic to put the abs glue in the gaps and then clamped that section until dry. Then I would move onto another section with a gap and do the same things. The only gaps I am still showing are in spots I can't clamp, so I am trying to figure out how I am going to do them. The earpieces are my big crux and I think I am going to have to pull them out and redo them. They just sit way too high, but I am not sure I can do much about it. Where the curve of the cap piece ends is butted against the tube and I can only sand that down so much. I am going to try and work with it, but I am sure I will have gaps to fill and paint, I just want to limit how much of them I have to do. Oh, on a side note, messing up on one piece of limb armor is not fun. Like an idiot, I placed the velcro on the outside of both pieces. Hard to stick them together that way, huh? So I had to pull it off, use some goo-gone to try and get rid of the residue (I was gluing the velcro in place with welders as opposed to just using the sticky back), and then do some serious sanding. Not a fun process. |
