Everywhere I go Shopping for anything I’ve been on the lookout for a red acrylic sheet for my chest plate lights. This little piece of plastic has eluded me from the beginning of my build! Today I happened to stop at a Dollar Tree store where everything is a $1 and there it was a little three pack notebook with a red acrylic cover!!! At that moment it felt like.....this is the best dollar for this build I have spent to date lol

I cut the end off and drilled a hole to run a # 8 AWG wire to my right side gauntlet & glued it in place to meet the CRL requirements

Oh, good lead on that red acrylic. Currently getting all my parts together, and I totally forgot about it!
Also, personally, I like the second gloves more.

I picked up another manikin on eBay last week and of course it was too tall! So I cut his legs off and shortened it up to 5‘11”. I also cut the right shoulder and elbow so I can extend the arm to hold the EE3 blaster. I boiled a pot of hot water and put the right and left hand in to mold his fingers to hold the blaster. Next thing is to cut the left arm to position it better. Once I’m happy with the way it is holding the blaster I will fiberglass everything up.
