Are you using internal covers? If not, putting on in may support it and assist the external cover pulling both sides together. Have you got any more pics of the problem area? Marc

More snap plates completed today, along with the split rivets on the ab, kidney and crotch. I was expecting them to be a lot tougher to install. But, after taking a few mm of each one and by using a cross head screw driver and hammer to split the legs it was done in a few minutes. After much pondering I decided to go with installing snaps on that side using the rivets to hold them in place. Whist the glue was drying on my plates, I moved on to dying my boots. Here's how they were before work began This is the dye I'm using And here's the boots after about FIVE coats! Another couple and I'll be onto the elastic. Any suggestions as to what to use would be fantastic! Marc

Resin bolts and inner barrels... http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/33001-Resin-cast-Sterling-barrel-and-bolt-spring-cup Marc

Thank you mate. Just had it cleared by my Garrison...Happy days! Marc

Either way works. I've gone for the method I suggested [emoji2] Marc

I'm pretty sure that you marry up the top on the right and the bottom on the left. Marc

Maybe hang fire and see what Clive / Ross suggest Marc

Sorry mate, if that's the right thigh then you could line it up from the top as the knee ammo belt would hide the difference Marc

The cover strip should hide it mate Marc

Thanks Jorge,been awol for a bit but now im back!

It took a fair while to plan out . If I can produce a resin kit at a reasonable price I'll offer them up [emoji3] Marc

Boots on the way Marc

The velcro suggestion is a great idea Aaron. I may just give that a go! Marc

I'm in Manchester, I used to play football for Horwich RMI before moved to Leigh, many years ago! Have you tried Mark on the UKG? Marc

Hello there! I've just completed my doopy build, and for the spring cup I cut down a permanent marker.As for the bolt, i was toying with cleaning out the resin on the doopy kit and making my own. I decided against it though, as the internal resin was too thick. I created the spring end of the bolt from abs, but seeing as you're doing a pipe build I reckon you could fashion one from thin aluminium and some styrene. I'm pretty sure someone will direct you where to get a resin one from though mate [emoji2] Where in Lancs are you?

Well finally! Some progress on my TK! The strapping system is well underway now. Theres still some fine trimming to do which I'll box off once I've had a test fit. Now, here's how I'm thinking of completing the set up. My last build was full of the frustration of snaps not quite snapping once installed. This time I am gluing the snap plates down only after checking that the corresponding strap snaps work. I'm not going to glue the opposing snap plates down until the fit is right. Theres nothing more frustrating than having to move a snap plate or replace a strap for a better fit. Instead I'm going to attempt to have magnets hold the un glued snap until fitment is correct, then mark off and glue the plate. Does anyone have any other methods which worked for them? I've also semi completed the garter. The loops of the elastics are slightly smaller than the 50mm webbing. I've done this so as there is some tension, which will hopefully prevent them sliding around the belt. Once I have them where I need them then a dab of glue may hold them where they need to be. There's also a srip of elastic at the rear to add a little tension and flex Marc My Wips... http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61082 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38021-CTID's-RWA-ANH-Stunt-WIP......-501st-Here-we-go! http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60937 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/38731-CTID's-Doopy's-E-11-Build

Cheers mate, appreciate it. I'm just waiting for Mark on UKG now to give it the all clear Marc

Thanks. Believe me, I have had a fair bit of time to do this, and I spent a lot of it building. It did feel like I wasn't making much progress, I think that was because I was bouncing from one thing to another, but it all came together during the last couple of days. Marc

That looks like a nice little kit. Would go with that one [emoji106] Marc

Or ebay [emoji6] Marc

Single capped rivets is the other option mateRegards Marc

Sorry I've not posted on my progress for a while. That's because there's been none. Been spending most of my time on the blaster forums whilst building my Doopy's which is pretty much done, and I'm really proud of the additions that I made to it. As from tomorrow I will be back focusing on completing my tk! Marc

Thank you so much for your kind words Tino. It really means a lot to get that kind of feedback from someone with your experience!I started the build with the intention of just getting it done to an acceptable standard. But, the more I went along, the more I wanted to push myself. Your thread has been priceless in my build, and I would not have been able to complete it without that precious pdf. Little things like where to level the counter, and the detailed information within it is nothing more than awesome. Thanks again T! Marc

And here ( fingers crossed ) is the completed blaster. I still have the original scope on as I have not had the time to build the one I have of Brian's which is a number 5 scope, and a very well produced kit. Marc

Cylinders have been completed. Which, I think is the last part of the build, unless anyone thinks I've missed something. Marc
