  2. Armor Bin Imperial Cog Wheel Covers File-Name: Wheel_cover_imperial_logo.stl, Wheel_cover_base.stl Designer: GoofTrooper [TK-37423] Last Update: 01/2020 File-URL: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4122064 Description: This is a wheel cover for your Husky brand rolling toolbox used for armor storage. Customize your armor bin by changing the look of the stock wheels to an Imperial Cog. I designed these wheel covers to use on a Husky brand 37 in. toolbox. I'm not sure if they will fit other sizes of Husky toolboxes. Let me know if they do! Terms of Use: This design is licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution license. Image:

  3. TK Helmet Paint (Hero) Much happier with the teeth. Thanks @gmrhodes13! Other than that here’s the paint job in all it’s hand painted glory minus the tube stripes which are the decals that came with the kit. My day job is a design professor, so it bothered me at first to just kind of give in to the raw quality of the original paint. But now that it’s done I kind of love it. It makes it uniquely mine. I do have an Black Series TK helmet from years ago with perfect placement of everything. I’ll go glance at that one when I feel the need to see perfection. But I’ll happily and proudly wear this one to troop! Let me know if anything needs adjusting. And as always thank you for your guidance and feedback! Teeth are better now imho.

  4. Nylon is doable, but as Glen mentioned it has no give. Elastic really helps there in making it easier to stretch and work with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. For me. It was definitely more space and more clamps. I was slower to build because I could only glue and clamp so much at a time due to those limitations and I didn’t have space to lay out all my armor at once to work with so it was piece by piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. I found some people have different calves too, I had to add an extra 15mm to a recruits armor I was building. Always compare how you look to references, here you can see very little gaps between some troopers armor pieces, you don't want to take too much off I would thread the height of the shins the same, with removing small amounts at time, it's easy to take more off but hard to put more back on. A little heat on the base can also help spread the opening allowing the shins to come down over your boots and ankles, may be worth have a look at.

  8. I normally use doubled over elastic and take off 5mm from the desired width. Using nylon will stop it coming apart but the down side is try to get it closed as you won't have any give, still it's worth a try

  9. Some recommendations I have. You may want to trim the upper return edge off your thighs to avoid armor bite. It can be no fun. Depending on your height and such you may also need to trim down the thighs a bit. Again this depends a lot on fittings. I’d also highly recommend against attaching thighs to the inner side of abdomen armor for strapping as this can cause the weight of the thighs and such to tug down on your armor leading to discomfort and potentially even unwanted fitting issues. What I and many have done is get a nylon belt and then use strong elastic loops to slide the belt through and hold thighs up via a belt separate from the armor. Some even add heavy duty suspenders too. Here’s my example. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. Getting closer. This is Stable Diffusion. This is Bing It would be nice if I could say "Using this image as base, make these changes..."
