  1. Here's a few of mine with the Darman neckseal. Also my cloak was made for me by a friend who could actually sew Was lucky to find one at the time. My kit is a first gen MyNock resin kit with 1st gen and 2nd gen MyNock masks...
  2. Thanks LordZedel for clarification - verification. For mine - I use the Etsy neck seal combined with a vest with a v-neck shape to it. Similar look to the bottom pict you reference.
  3. This is the same one I was approved with. Nicely made and very comfortable.
  4. Everything is looking great so far! BIG fan of the Mynock kit. The ABS kit really looks good. Mine was one of his original resin and cold cast aluminum kits. Alittle heavier but amazing detail! Looking forward to seeing this completed!
  5. Great job. What kind of 3D printer do you have? Final came out really good! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  6. Great work so far. Love this kit. We'll worth the wait. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  7. Awesome. That's the best feeling when your kit shows up at the front door. This kit is fantastic and totally worth the wait! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Well done. Looks great! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  9. Nice! I have a MyNock kit as well. Any guidance or advice feel free to ask. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Can't wait to see MyNocks ABS kit. Definitely a great alternative to the cold cast kit which is pretty darn awesome too! We're here for any advice and guidance we can give. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Looking great so far! For the mask I know Mynock spray painted the whole mask black and then rubbed it off on the raised part of the carvings leaving the painted black lower carvings (grooves) intact. I actually painted each line by hand with black acrylic. Took awhile and found out afterward what technique he used to paint it. I'm ordering the version 5 mask and back plate from him in January so I will use that method for the next one. Love how the aluminum polishes up. Nice! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Thanks so much. Yeah I had some fun with those. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. APPROVED!!!! Finally crossed the finish line!
  14. Thanks Keith. Appreciate the encouragement. Here's an update adding the Cod/AB section: I painted the rubber using acrylic paints. I was having a tough time painting the rubber with different spray paints. Finally after cleaning it off and starting over, I lightly sanded the surface of the rubber with fine grit sand paper and then applied the acrylic paint (silver and a black wash over it after drying). Instead of a brush however, I used a cloth soaked with the paint and rubbed it into the rubber. It adhered immediately and dried very quickly. The result was a very robust coating and holds very well. Will it scrape off? Probably but not overly concerned because this area will not get a lot of exposure to bangs/bumps etc..like the hands, forearms, shins and feet will. I also applied a layer of foam to the inside of the chest plate to prevent any additional rubbing. I wore it around the house a bit with the chest plate and nothing happened to the paint so fingers crossed. I attached the buckle/pouches and canister by screwing right through the rubber into the piece from the back. I used two screws for each piece. These are not coming off thats for sure. To prevent stress on the pouches and canister I added a large rivet and washer to each side through the rubber and then another right after it with a nylon webbing strap from the back. This will keep all the stress off these external parts and keep the belt on there nice and solid. The belt was an old thick canvas belt from a consignment shop. Its canvas so acrylics also worked well with it. This was painted gray.
