Legs & Center Ankle almost done

Una vez terminado de secar la pintura blanca comencé a colocar las partes correspondientes a las piernas como los Booster covers, Leg Struts, Ankles, Ankle details, Cylinder ankles, Ankle cylinder holders, Under shoulder details, Outer ankle sides, Shoulder horseshoes, Shoulder Hydraulics, Shoulder buttons, Ankle bracelet (me falta completarlo), Ankle cylinder wedges. Todos están pegados con pegamento de poxiran.

Con tornillo auto perforantes coloqué los Shoulder buttons y Shoulder hydraulics que van agarrados en los Horseshoes.

El tobillo central va atornillado a la base del frame con unas "L" de metal y cuatro tornillos, por lo tanto los Outer ankle sides no los pude pegar. Para ello utilicé velcro para colocarlos una vez que se coloca el mismo. Aunque no queda muy bien ya que hay un espacio es una solución temporaria ya que muchos no los colocan porque no se ven muy bien.

Acá las piernas con los tobillos, cilindros, booster cover, shoulders horseshoes, shoulder buttons y shoulder hydraulics.

Aquí pegué los Ankle details y con unas capas de madera mdf hice una base para poder pegar los Leg Struts que tienen que ir sobresaliendo un poco de los booster covers. También pegué los Anke cylinder holders y cylinder wedges. Todavía me queda pegar los Shoulder Hubs ya que tengo que bajarles un poco la altura porque quedan muy sobresalidos.

Second Booster Cover

Ok, today I decided to make the second Booster Cover, but this time I glued with the correct liquid and I finished really faster and easy. Despite I made one before, I made a little mistake when I cut the upper layer thinking that it was too wide, but when I glued all parts I realized that it was wider to fit all parts together (it can be seen in the inner medium part), but I will fix it later with filler before painting.

Leg Struts

At the same time that I've been working on Booster Covers I started to build the Leg Struts. I bought PVC Pipes of 21mm diameter, cut it in 2 pieces, glued 1mm styrene around them to obtain the shapes and for thicker parts I glued 2 or 3 layers. To join the two pipes I bend a 0.5mm styrene strip to simulate a thinner pipe.
For the upper box I glued 9 squares of 3mm of styrene and for the circle I cut a 3mm of styrene as well. You will see how it will fit with the Booster Cover. A handcraft piece :-O

Booster Covers

I didn't post anything last week because I've been working on Booster Covers and it was little bit complicated and took me more time than expected. Anyway, I printed the Styrene plans, imported to Illustrator, draw outlines and printed out the first BC. I used 0.5mm, 1mm and 3mm styrene and Mc D's straws ;-).
