Fantastic armor assembly! Good luck!

Hey Jason! Welcome aboard. Contacting your local Garrison or Squad would be a first step. I recommend you look through the threads and determine the maker(s) that best suit your needs and your body type. Ask questions and read build threads. We will help as much as we can. Good luck!

Nice! I saw my first in person/in hand Praetorian last Sunday. They are nice and the detail is all there.

Looking great trooper. Good luck!

No chance of custom on this? Just curious.

I really like my Anovos kit. I got in on the initial offering and waited about a year for the kit. The version 1 and 2 of the instructions are misleading at best, but with help from folks here, I built a kit that eventually was approved Centurion and I had never built a kit before. The armor is fairly sturdy and from what I can tell by inspecting other armors, is just as well made. The strapping and soft parts are mostly junk aside from gloves. I replaced ALL snaps and velcro with well made stuff and I assure you it is necessary. I blew it off as nit-picking at first and after several failures, replaced it ALL. Tandy snaps, industrial Velcro, well made elastics. The undersuit (if still included) will turn your armor purple even if you wash it first. After a few troops, I learned what areas of the armor take stress and I reinforced them. The fabric part of the belt is junk, but will suffice depending on your expectations. I expect this armor to last me a good while and I troop a lot.

I made support strips for the inside joints out of spare trimmed ABS and they were all fairly similar in width and length to my exterior strips. I'd try that before buying more because color could be an issue. Do make sure to remove the protective film. I made that mistake once...

Looking good trooper!

Very nice detail work. Great job!

Your armor is coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!

Looking good trooper!

You're getting there. Those thighs look a lot like mine. I trimmed a lot of the back top area.

Shooting for Centurion is the way to go. Good luck!

Great news! I am looking forward to seeing your build progress. I am glad you are already aiming for Centurion. Good luck!

Your armor fits you well and that is a great blaster. Good luck!

Going for Centurion? Great news. Good luck pal!

I have both snaps and velcro. The snaps were holding fine by themselves, but adding the velcro makes it easier to put on and quite sturdier.

Woohoo! Congrats and welcome!!

Congrats and welcome to Centurion level.

Mighty fine looking armor. Good job trooper!

You are selling these parts on Ebay?

Welcome and good luck on the build. I don't think I could have done it without the help I found here.

Very nice work! Welcome to Expert Infantry!

Looking good trooper! Congrats and have fun.

Congrats on getting your armor. Good luck on the build!
