Painting my boots

I finally found some white shoe paint today! After rubbing off wax and shoe polish, I added two coats of paint. They will need more coats, so the journey to white boots is to be continued...


After the first coat


After the second coat

Look at my beautiful shin! :D

One shin is done, and the other one is nearly there too! I think it's looking very nice.


The front


The back

One shin glued

Yay! One shin is actually glued! I used ABS weld to connect the two parts before I glued the strip on with E6000, the best glue I've ever used. :)

Trimming the shins

AP shins are funny. They seem so nice and easy, and when you try to put them together you're soon dragged down to earth again. I feel like the whole "try to fit AP shins"-thing is like a whole afternoon with twist and shout. Mostly shouting for a long time before you finally see that you have to twist. I really hope the glue is strong enough. ;)


My right shin, behaving like it should.


My left shin, a different chapter in the book... It wont fit and you have to twist it to make it work if you're not going to cut away some of the upper edge, which doesn't look good.


The shin twisted, let's hope the glue will hold!

Blaster holster on the way!

I'm making a holster for my hasbro blaster, and thought I'd share some pics of it. It still needs a couple more buttons, a seam on the right side and some pop rivets. They are added on the pic, but I have to get some rings to add on the back side before I can pop them on. :)


Still some stuff to do :)


The holster with the blaster in it (well, my lbf's blaster that is) :)

Black helmet interior

I have given my helmet a black interior by adding one coat of primer, one coat of black and one coat of matt satin transparent lacquer. I have to paint the inside of the frown and eyes by hand.



Still have to paint a bit around the frown and eyes :)


Some more painting done, starting to look good :)

Frown cut and painted!

Yay! Finally! I've been afraid of doing this for some time now, and now it's done! I used a dremel and some different needle files for this, and some sanding for a smooth finish. I painted it with Humbrol glossy grey #5. :)

Glueing belt and detonator

Both my belt and detonator is glued! The detonator will need a second date with the E6000, but the belt is nearly done! :)

First strip glued :)

I have started to glue strips to my armour parts, and the first one is done. This will take some time, as I don't have enough clamps and magnets to do them all at the same time. But there's enough to do, I still have to model the return edges on most of my parts as well. :)

I can see the end of the tunnel! :D

Shoes under construction

I have ruined my shoes today! I've ripped off the elastic band to get it replaced by a white one. I will paint my shoes before I do that, but the paint isn't here yet. I hope it'll come soon!
