Thank you. I was following an advice, from a FX user,but i should have known better.No love lost. I havent cut the side of the ab yet, so I will use the vertical seem on the ab, and cut the kidney to me up and then do the snaps on both section. Thanks again Terry!! So with out the rivets on the Left, would i still make EIB as its "Should haves"?

Hi Guys n Gals Need help again. I am aiming for EIB, but I hit a bump! I have attached 3 pics. Can i still mod this to have 3 rivets / snaps? How do i do it? Also can you send the best rivets or snap to buy? We have ACE Hardware here! but if there is other sites that ship international, i can buy it. Need you help!. I have cut the top of the ab plate! and the site is curving downwards! Need your expert advice .thanks

Hi Terry About to glue the cover strips and the inside shim. I got myself the E6000 glue, any tips before i start? I have got the clamps already, and have some ice cream sticks too! Thanks

Thanks Terry! very valueable advice. Any thing i need to watch out for while building the armour? Maybe something that you would have like done different?

Hi Terry Need your expert advice. When you wear your biceps? Are they glued both front and back or velcro at the back? Also when you wear it, is there room between skin/undersuit and armour? how much? thumb fit? Hope i am making sense here. Also for the forearm are you using velcro at the back? thanks in advance

Just incase mate,I am heading out to buy the tapes u recommended! you are all simply beautiful people!

Excellent skills. I notice that you have glued the front of the thigh seems left and right together. Then added a cover strip. I am going for the same. But can you post some pics on what you did on the back of the thigh and the shin please. I am stuck at that point. I want to use velcro, but do you over lap? or do you add another strip? Thanks

Hi Mate Thanks, any advice on here is always good advice. I found and easy way to remove the residue. Just use a drop of cooking oil and remove it by using a soft cloth to wipe it off. Works fine. The oil can be easily removed as well. thanks

Thanks again Pandatrooper. After i have glued the front of the shin with cover strip and inside strip. When i open the back to put on the shins, would the front hold? thanks.

Thank you tkrestonva. This is an excellent tip!. I will be doing that, in the pic the dont line up for the legs, so i will do that from the top The rest is bottom up. Thanks again. But am i heading the right way mate?

Hi Pandatrooper, I have done the left leg. Any advice? Or am i headed the right way? Nothing is glued yet, the strip is just there for show now.

Excellent post mate! i thank you so much!. Do you have pics on how you made the arm? Can you email me at hawk25m at yahoo.com I made this 400% to view, and i could see the details. Nice job mate, really nice. I have a excellent chap who is helping me with this armour. I seek his advice as well!

Bro thanks so much for the link! this is excellent!!!!! Whats the screen acurate size for the cover strip on thigh and calf? Is it 1.5inch or 2inch? Thanks so much

Hi Guys n Gals I have an FX AM Armour that need to be fit to my size, i am about 5ft 6in For the Shin and the Thigh, once its measured fit, most sites say that a strip in the front is good to add. What do you guys think? Also the thigh part on the top is too big, and rides up. How did you guys cut it correctly according to the original curved grove on the top of the thigh? I need to lose one inch on the top of the thigh. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks
