Clamps' Stunt Build Thread [AP]
bigironvault replied to Clamps's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
No not overkill at all. Totally needed as it has t support a lot of motion in your TK. Ps. Theres no such thing as overkill! -
Except today when I found an old in my pants ... mostly due to dancing in my TK I think. Jenny why didn't you tell me I have a tear in my pants! LOL j/k I dont think you can see it from outside, so I think it's just abrasion from the butt plate.

*Highfive*! Sooo... when you going EIB missy? -
Yes, sorry for the delay in response. I started a thread once reviewing eastbay stuff. Check it out if you have time. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19203

I second what Mark said. The effort to make it look good and cost of your time on a per hour basis you might as well get a nice hyperfirm.

Thanks everyone and especially Mathias for pushing me forward to be better. Charles I have NO doubt you will hit EIB/Centurion. From the start the Tantive IV Boarding Party had made it our mission to get all our new TK's EIB/Cent. -

Thanks! I appreciate it and will wear it with pride. This is cool because I think I'm the first Canadian Garrison member to get Centurion I think.... I will spread the knowledge I've learnt so that others can learn from my mistakes and hopefully lots more Canadian EIB/Cents will follow. I will also concede that it does look a hell of a lot better. -
How do you travel with your armor?
bigironvault replied to Dracos's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I can fit all my stuff in a medium sized luggage. Just got to play chinese dolls (is that right?) with your thigh, shins, forearms. That saves a lot of space. -

Thighs getting glued. Nothing to do now but to wait. -

I agree - Centurion should not be "easy". It defeats the purpose and the challenge. Love it actually! -

Do you want me to retake (front/side/rear) photos or photos of finished modifications good enough? By the way biceps are pretty tight on me. Can't get it smaller imho. What can I say I have big tricep muscles. -

Update pictures - E-11 fixed! Forearms gluing as we speak. -

No problem Mathias, I am literally gluing the forearms and thighs as we speak. -

bigironvault replied to bigironvault's topic in Request Centurion Status
I know Mathias, I want to give you a benefit of a doubt. That's why I said I don't think you intended it. I will work on my forearms and limbs today but shins are a tough one Mathias because it's really the best way to get them on for trooping. What do you suggest with the shins? -
TK-6731 Requesting ANH Centurion Status[55][AP*]
bigironvault replied to bigironvault's topic in Request Centurion Status
If you think so, then I will. So just want to be clear that the parts I need to glue are forearms, thighs and shins? (Everything else is glued.) Checklist is then, 1. Reverse cocking handle 2. Reverse off-set 3. Glue thighs, forearms and shins Anything else? By the way doing this because it's a challenge to me, not to "get brass". I actually take a little personal insult Mathias if you consider my application to be Kindergarden I think it's a little uncalled for, especially since other TK's have had been approved with velcro attachments. I thought we had a good relationship, there's no need to call names. I would have appreciated a simple, "Yes I'd like you to glue your limbs down and you'll be approved." Maybe you didn't intend to come across as mean but it reads like it. -

Okay let's see fix list: 1. Reverse cocking handle 2. Reverse off-set ... let's see what Mathias has to say about overlap/velcro. -

LOL, I was so careful with the muzzle flash guard. Ha! I can't believe I glued it on backwards. Those are easy fixes. -

bigironvault replied to bigironvault's topic in Request Centurion Status
To be honest I rather not remove the velcro because it makes trooping and stuff way easier. (If anyone's done the 5 min quick change - ask Chookaboom about it, the velcro is key!) -
TK-6731 Requesting ANH Centurion Status[55][AP*]
bigironvault replied to bigironvault's topic in Request Centurion Status
Cool thanks. That's a simple thing to remove the velcro and E6000 it down - was done for sizing purposes and trooping. Now that I've trooped a few times I know my size much better. Is it going to keep me from Centurion though at this time? -
Hi everyone, thanks for checking out my application for Centurion. I tried my best and I hope that I meet all the requirements. I hope I get this because I think I may be the first TK in the Canadian Garrison to attempt for Centurion (someone else want to check?). Would be very proud to join the ranks.

I'd go for 45 with sanded down edges, cause lord knows there's enough things already to get your undersuit caught on. You definitely don't need more.

There's a top without the mock neck. I suggest you get the EVAPOR without the mock neck because it's going to interfere with your neck-seal. And yes, I love my evapor... it feels so nice....
