Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

Got another nice day today, so got the chance to put some colour down! Motivation had been waning lately due to the lack of progress I could make, but its amazing how re energising seeing the armour in its crimson beauty has been! Tomorrow is due to be just as dry and sunny, so will get another roun...

Conviced the better half to help me kit up for a quick look to see if the kit and placement was looking ok: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54376886751_b411b68308_k.jpg Ab is sitting a bit lopsided, but that may just be my wonky torso!! Tweaked the suspender on that side to compensate. Overall, ...

Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

Took a break from sanding and spraying, so got t work on the strapping. Hip plates(lower to upper) are done, suspenders and shoulder bells too. Straps for biceps are ready, just need to measure and set the snaps to attach to the shoulders. I decided to copy my FO build and use neodymium magnets to a...

Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

Been a minute since my last update! So, took the plunge and decided I was gunna use the resin detail piece for the chest slot. What.A.Pain! Now I know why I didnt do it for my FOTK!! Still, must admit it does look very,very nice in comparison. Drilled out: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5434058...

Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

Ab boxes trimmed and fitted. Much easier than i remember them being last time round! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54298857454_0bdef08218_k.jpg Plastic bolts I am using to attach them to the ab. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54298622621_818f521ac4_k.jpg They are currently just superglued...

Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

All major cutting,trimming and sanding is done! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54292602963_c70b723a59_k.jpg Although it's technicallly incorrect, I chose to cut off the tabs at the bottom of the ab in favour of wearing the skirt under the armour. Just seems more secure that way,rather than rely...

Re: Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

Wow, I am TERRIBLE at updating this! Almost as bad as I am at taking pics to document the build! Anyways, EVERYTHING has been trimmed and sanded apart from the ab boxes and shin kit kats. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54280666093_bb319ecedb_k.jpg I keep putting them off as they are so time con...

Brown box day!! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54167819066_397b96aea8_k.jpg Couldn't wait to get it ripped open. Had a serious case of deja vu when I pulled out the chest,back plates. Flashbacked to 2015 when i got my anovos alpha kit. Thankfully no horrible rubber car mat gaskets this time rou...

Colin1138's Lobster/Lipstick/Crayon build

My inexperience working with fiberglass was a factor in skipping TLJ, and I have experience building FOTK's , so that was also a big factor. Plus,..that Greco-Roman styled helmet is j...
