That new face plate didn't come with Macadamia nuts did it?

Also check your email's intercepted spam. I was a few days late getting here because the confirmation email was intercepted by my spam filter.

Whatever it is, its hideously assembled.

My point of view is this. When you deal with a recaster. 90% of the time you are gonna be dissapointed with what shows up in the brown box. That being said, I would be really dissapointed to see the CAP line of armor vanish from the community.

If you try strapping the bottom of the chest plate to the top of the ab plate. Use white strapping. Like this guy, just don't get shot by rebel scum in the process Another thing you might try on the thighs is ditching the FX thighs for some RT mod thighs. I bet you'd be able to get those dialed in just perfectly. The FX thighs are one of my biggest complaints with FX armor.

That's all the convincing I'd need, plus you already have the TE2.

At 185-190 you MIGHT have to shim the ab and kidney plates but not much and it would look great. I an 5-11 and 145 pounds and theres plenty of room in there.

RT for sure! You might even consider a mix and match. Like see if you can get some RT thighs. That would dress that FX up quite a bit and its not gonna break the bank. You also said that you were trimming the waistline a bit, so when you do that reward yourself with RT Lower torso pieces. Also in that regard I recommend the Southbeach diet. My wife used it to shed the baby blubber. It works like a champ and its not the agony of Adkins.

Done? Ive been toying with the idea of completely redoing the webbing in the shoulders and biceps...maybe some swooped shoulder bells... And would you believe me if I told you Saturday was the first time I had ever noticed that my biceps are completely identical?

I call it all "underarmor" it works better in this hobby than in the sports industry with that name. but some may call it a dance leotard...or better yet, a unitard. TK Skivvies is kinda cute.

Hey Bro youre right beside me! Ok I gotta ask. Whose idea was it to have a D ring on the blaster an elite requirement. Got no problem with it at all, it just seems silly. Or better yet, an odd detail to focus on. But going back and reading the blaster requirements now everything else is covered well...I'm rambling.

Never was a big fan of hero helmets for myself. Stunt trooper 4 Life! It's looking really good. You do however have something wierd going on where your right shoulder strap meets the back plate.

Sounds to me like you have the exact same body measurements as me. AP will look really good on you. Unless you have an extra arm growing out of the center of your back, but there's mods for that too.

Yeah, this is gonna turn out nice. Its looking good now, but everyone starts to get all weak in the knees when Mike busts out the Rustoleum.

Youve definitely got all the bases covered that I can see. Maybe a shot of green lens and clear separation of the butt and kidney plate. How tall are you? You may want to think about getting some shins from RT Mod. I believe they are a little longer than the FX shins and would close up the gap more at your knees. Not that it would matter for elite status but I think it would improve the look of your costume.

A perfectly executed FX/TE2 combo!!!

Isnt that an F14 engine exhaust? Nicely done!

thats like 100 posts a year since you were born

I'm glad everyone is impressed with the work I did on this project. As mentioned it was a long road but worth every second (and penny) of it. Now for some REALLY good news. I am hereby officially TK-2052

Believe me its an all day affair. And this is exactly what Im talking about.
