Thanks! Well due to the fact that the shown shoes are the only ones I can wear without pain I really hope the slight lean is not a big deal because it's either the slightly sharper angle or a modification on top of the instep so... And in reality the lean is not as heavy as the lines in the picture. Crazy that due to this medical condition the shoes are the most nerve wrecking thing about the whole armor...

As long as it is not seen from the outside you can use anything you like, I just added a dab of glue to mine to keep the loop in place, but no issues with using velcro

A few steps more done in the project. After some thought and looking on reference pictures I opted for black mesh on the hovi as suggested by @gmrhodes13. Got them painted with some tip weathering and mounted, super satisfied. Only thing left is the inside of the helmet and attaching the lens. Here is a side by side picture with my RWA Stunt and TM Hero. Also started working with the belt. Measuring and checking as I’m reusing my armor. This made it kind of hard though as you were stuck with the snap placement on the armor fitting previous belt. Wanted it to just snap on in the right place with no need for adjustments when it’s on. Let’s say even though tripple measuring I needed to change place on the snaps 😆🙈 Good thing it’s on the back. (bad lighting and the phone camera makes the belt look a bit weird, it’s straight and nice though) QUESTION: The drop boxes, are you allowed for Expert and centurion to place Velcro on the white elastic band and the belt instead of doing the standard loop around the belt? 🤔 Would be much easier to adjust them and the snaps in the belt wouldn’t be in the way.

I'm glad you like it!

I made it!!! TK-11257

I had the exact same issue going for EIB. Here's my before and after: There were two things I did to fix it. First I tried just bending out the metal so that the donut faces outward instead of upward. You very well might be able to get away with just doing this. However for me it made the TD stick out from my belt too far so in the end I removed and cut off around an inch of metal down to the second screw hole. Turns out my metal clip were longer than I needed. I had to re drill a new hole since once was cut off on each piece

Don't you love how thick Dave's armor is?

Looking good
