So I've been remiss on updating this wip and I'm sorry, been kinda focused on getting my first kit revamped
But I'm back on Jodo with a bit of an update but unfortunately a few steps back, I recently unpacked my kit to find the paint has cracked across the chest plates, I've surmised that its due to storage and the temperature of where I kept it, so looking like I will need to repaint them all.
Additionally will be doing the back plate as it doesn't sit right as well as also paint issues.
Gauntlets were fine if not a little bulky, but a friend of mine has offered to replace them with lighter 3D printed ones, so how could I refuse
Here is what we have done so far:
Left Gauntlet minus missiles that will be transferred from old gauntlet
Right gauntlet
Source material for the change to right gauntlet

As well as the ones for the change of connectors

And the connectors with piping

I'm planning on using that locate on the nodes protruding from the back of gauntlets, the pipes are silicone lighter and more flexible than braided so shouldn't hinder movement.
Hope everything looks satisfactory and hope to bring progress in next post.
