Congratulations Chris!

I used to use rechargeable Duracell AA but they start to loose their storage and so you end up changing them sooner and sooner. Ended up with about 20-30 of them and just seemed to be carrying/changing/charging batteries all the time. I just use decent quality AA x8 lasts ages [emoji41]

I have trooped with Mark a few times, he is a good friend of mine and a LOT of fun to troop with, glad you got to spend time with him and see him in action with his unique trooping style.

Hi Paul I was typing my reply as you posted! 14" on the front seam. Cheers

Not at all mate, I have thought about it, I have just tried my thighs lower but then find it harder to walk as they interfere with the back of my knee. It's deffo the calfs. I have just tried them on after my mods (dropped ammo pouch and fixed calfs to boots slightly higher than they sit normally) and it's better (I'll post pics after this weekends troop). Still not perfect but I think a lottery win then 'custom made' armor and we'll be there! (or as Gary said surgery!!!) Seriously tho, I think I'll be looking at all the makes of armour and see which one is best for my build (suggestions very welcome) 6'2" and slim, and eventually upgrade. Thanks for all the help guys, 'mucho grassy an impolite person' 2B

Yeah but Gary my helmet covers my face!! Funnily I'm finishing that mod off tonight, so yeah I'm hoping that will help. ......... now, now, play nice! Thanks guys although I was hoping for a lead on longer calfs but no anyhoo I'll see how it looks after my mods and may post new pics 2B

Hi all, I had a look to see if this had been covered already and couldn't find it but if so then appologies for being a blind git! OK, after a few modifications (one under the way for this weekends troop) I've decided the problem with my legs (big black gaps) is my Calfs/Shins are just too short! (I've tried letting the thighs down a bit but then the black just gets moved to the top of my thighs, I've moved the ammo pack down and I've raised the calfs up the boots slightly) I'm 6'2" so not a basketball player by any means but looking at photos (which pains me to do so now as ALL I see is the black gaps) it just looks cr@p. (I have FX) So my question is, can I make them any longer and still look good or does anyone make a longer calf and if so will it reasonably match my FX? Thanks 2B

Hope life gets back on track for you soon mate. Take care 2B

BUM!!! I just sprayed my new lid last night but haven't checked it yet as it at my girlfriends, but i didn't do a white coat first, I hope it's now not grey!!!!!!

LOVIN' those paint jobs! I would have those lids as show pieces in my flat!

I'd be really interested in this, I'm starting to dislike my 'black gaps' at the top and bottom of my FX thighs, especially when I see photo's with shorter troopers. Being 6'2" is good just not for TKing! I would also like to see the comparison pics between the Armors too, to see what is longest. I really like the rest of my FX and I don't have the money to replace my whole armor so could I mix a different make of thigh (and shin?) with it? Colour match issues? Apologies for the hijack BTW Cheers

It wasn't me......honest!!!
