Update on my Daft Punk build: My GM lid IS the wrong tint of gold, gonna be re-done (third time is the charm, right?!) I received a quote for sending my other Daft lid (Thomas) and gloves to Don at Coat of Chrome and a awesome turnaround time. Going to apply vinyl dye to the Adidas Jabbar soles tomo...

Likewise, as beans said. Great kit.

If I was married, I'm sure I would be in divorce court right now over this darn thing! Another good update: I received my lid back from C'n'C today. All the issues were fixed. There is some minor stuff but at this point I need to finish this helmet. I can always sell it and make another one, for my ...

I like the number of 3's in your username.

Another trick I learned for the gloves if you get 3M weatherstrip on the fabric or panels itself. DO NOT SCRATCH IT WITH A KNIFE (or anything else sharp) doing will cut into the film and it will peel off your ABS plastic. I fought the urge to use my fingernails but instead played the waiting game. I...

Also some more good news: After being really let down getting my Sorenzo GM lid back from C'n'C had drips, runs, orange peel and other nastiness the shop agreed to re-do the helmet. I was impressed and my faith restored. My only paranoid concern are that the holes for the LED's and RCA jacks were PR...

Daft Gloves? I had a chance to sit down and assemble my gloves. I need to move the pinky panels back on the right hand, but other than that I was extremely pleased with the complete ease of assembly. The only thing I would add is 3M weatherstrip is some STICKY stuff. I got a tiny bit on a chrome pan...

I would really like to see them step up and set up an charity function of sorts. It's a fun get together, but would like to something like that formulate...

I think the faces tell the story here. I didn't find any one sad, or frowning!

For the chest and ab sticking out. I put snap plates on the inside of my chest plate, and on my suspenders, it holds it in place.

This is where I bought my gloves, that are enroute from the previous post: http://www.welovecolors.com/Shop/MensShoulderGloves.htm# Perfect for HAA. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8308/8007561032_4cf24c8223.jpg tumblr_ll53qo013z1qan3f6o1_500_large by TK9336 , on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8...

Too busy with trooping lately, and my conversion from TK to TD I haven't spent much time on my DP. But- -Gloves ordered to recreate the HAA look of Daft Punk. -V2 HAA jacket going to finished in early July. -RAM Tuxedo to be done early August. -Pendants by Sorenzo. Replaced both chains though with r...

Darn that's a lot OF PICTURES!

I use a Kenner I converted with a kit and bondo/styrene work. When I do make a custom build I am going the APEX kit with a aluminum pipe. Going for it all. I used Gaza's metal E-11 in a California troop. I couldn't holster it. Plastic spaceman armor doesn't hold up metal well. Plus holding it for a ...

I would get PVC pipe and the doopy pipe kit to start off.

This is hands down the best mission report I've ever read. I'm also NSB but that's just minutia. Seriously awesome job!

When I first reg'd on these boards, you set the standard of random acts of kindness, and set the bar for generosity that defines the Legion for me. When I first showed up I needed a Kenner blaster to modify and, put up a thread. Robb sent me a PM that day saying he had one. I asked how much, and he ...

Awesome! Very well done!

That's awesome!!!

The helmet should get back to Cali this coming Wednesday. The other he...
