70th Explorers Garrison: Forums

well, a garrison member asked me to change a phase 1 hasbro lid into commander cody phase 1 for his son. this is a suprise gift, so i cant mention the member's name since his son reads the forums once in a while. here i will document all progress, and add photos. i have untill the 11th of sptember... (i set the deadline) can i do it? stay tuned kids.


P.S., vader is on the back burner for this one.

Good I could use some one to tell me what I should be doing from time to time

not much done tonight, pics tomarrow. basicly DTR1 and i cut everything hasbro-like off the lid. no more speakers, no buttons, no wierd goggle thingy. its bare bones. tomarrow i start filling in the lense area and filling all the 10,000 seams on this thing.

Don't spread yourself to thin, I need you in good health for the 25th .
Bondo is your friend!

thats glued up. more pics soon!

bondo time!!!!!!






its going alot faster than i thought. thanks again to DTR1 for his help. without that, i would just be watching glue dry!

Looking good, keep posting your progress. I am interested in the final product.

Me too, awesome so far

Lookin' good, I would say snazzy, but it's still in the rough phase for that! *l*

thanks guys and gals! i have a nice four day weekend comming up, and i know i can get this lid done. i also have been playing around with the idea of making a commander cody phase II helmet out of my MR casting, using a similar process as what EVO3 did. so i did it! 3 cuts, above the brow, below the brow, and above the teeth. i will glue it together and split it side to side and make it longer. as for the other, visor is mocked up and glued together, more filling has been done to the lid. i will document both here at the same time!

and movie cody

Your building space looks like ours. A little project going on here and there and everywhere. It fills up quickly, doesn't it? I'm loving these projects and can't wait to see these all finished up. Your doing a good job. Keep up the good work, bro.

thanks chris! means alot coming from you.... i need to finish vader when im done with phase 1 cody, then phase 2 cody, and back to war machine.... just not enough hours in the day.

i noticed in the first post that you had oil and a filter on your table, do you do oil changes in your kitchen as well? i will need one soon it does look good
