    I agree with Frank. "Cheap" is not a description you want on your armor purchase unless you are lucking into a situation with used armor or something similar. Most accurate is a minefield as well, but a battle much easier won. Truth be told, the vast majority of us are "on a budget". This hobby is far from a cheap one and I am a firm believer in the old adage, "you get what you pay for". My advice would be to do some research, save your money and use patience. Good luck future trooper!

    Very nice armor! These are all the photos asked for, but I would show a picture of the outside view of the snaps on your butt plate there at the crotch. You have a nice front side picture of the crotch strap and connectors, but it is also important to see the outside of the snaps at the butt plate. (I hope this makes sense). Great eye for detail. That E-11 is a thing of beauty. I see you getting approved very soon!

    Still in the market for one. Looking forward to this.

    Nice job of gathering the required photos. As someone has mentioned, I'd paint those detonator screws. Otherwise, this is a fine set of armor. Good luck!

    I use both. Honestly, I have discovered no difference between the two and white actually matches up with my armor fairly well. I will admit, it was not a conscience choice to start using white as I generally use clear, but in this case accidentally got white and ran with it. Strength-wise, they are both holding quite well after a couple of years.

    Beautiful blaster. I hope to finish one like it soon.

    The build is coming along nicely. Those ear gaps are actually quite screen accurate. Keep up the good work trooper!

    Excellent tutorial. I would like to highlight Josephs comment about not skimping on snaps. USE GOOD SNAPS! I bought some run of the mill snaps at a fabrics store and have had to replace nearly all of them over time with good sturdy snaps (Tandy in my case). Cheap snaps are not well shaped and made of weak/thin materials that WILL give out on you. Having snaps crumble and fail during a troop is not something I would wish on anyone. I cannot stress this enough.

    You will likely need to take your belt off and lay it flat on the floor or table, taking photos of both sides. Maybe not, but I'd consider adding this to your photos. Best of luck trooper!
