Awesome I can not wait until I get my armor. Your armor is turning out great!

[HWT-Radio]

I have ran into this issue before, I signed up on MEPD.net and wanted to sign up here too. The link for the passport site did not work so I ended up making another account with the same information (I think I had to change my email though). Hope this helps.

[helmet paint]

Thanks everyone this helped out big time!

[helmet paint]

I have been looking through different threads on paints and I am going to get decals for most of the helmet but will have to paint the ears and frown and was wondering will any black and gray paint work? (i am looking at lacquer based paints) and is painting with a brush or spraying it on better?

 

Thanks!

[stickers or hand painted decals for helmet]

Thanks for the help. I am going to build a TD and was looking at the move along decals on TK-4510 site.

[stickers or hand painted decals for helmet]

The kit I am looking at does not come with decals for the helmet so I was wondering if I should buy a pack of stickers or hand paint it? stickers would be the easiest but could get worn off over time.

[snaps or velcro]

I have been looking at local stores online lowes, homedepot, etc... and have not found the snaps or pliers used to install them. Anyone know where I could get good quality snaps for a reasonable price? THanks!

[necessary to have rivets]

Do you have to have rivets on your armor, and should they be showing or no if you do have them.

[snaps or velcro]

Better to stay away from velcro to begin with. Yes it's easy to install, but it's also less secure, wears out over time (and usually gives out entirely at the most inconvenient of times), and can make a strange crunching sound when you walk or move.

 

If you're going for balls-on screen accuracy, metal brackets are the way to go. If not, then internal snap plates work well.

 

What kind of kit are you considering?

 

I am looking at an ATA kit.

 

and Thanks for all the help, i am now leaning towards snaps.

[snaps or velcro]

I just wanted to know what is more ideal. I will be eventually doing my first build and have noticed velcro seems easier to install and would get the industrial velcro if i went that route, however snaps look to last longer and maybe hold up better. Correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I just wanted to get a few tips for a newbie on attaching armor pieces. Thanks!
