TK Armour Project Part II

All the holes from the removed rivets have been filled with milliput (two part filler) and left 24 hours to harden. Before applying the filler the rear of the section being worked on had thin pieces of card glued to allow the filler to adhere to the holes.

 Once dry the filler is sanded to a flush finish with the orignal profile.

Extra attention should be given to the shoulder braces as these will be clearly visible.






I have also experimented on one of the smaller pieces of the armour (glove plate) with different spray paints. You would be surprised how many shades of white there are, a quick google search will throw up an enourmous amount of chat around this subject. Luckily for me I have a friend who is already 501st approved and has made modifications and repair to his own RT armour. So off to Halfords for 7 - 8 cans of Halfords own brand appliance white spray paint.

Stay tuned for the results.
