Requesting Active status - Census board states I have expired - did not have FISD on the voting page Many thanks Micheal May MAYHEM75 62946 Great Lakes Garrison TK/TS/TA

I would hope you have someone out of custome going with you as NCS. First outing, by yourself, little kids, and did I mention your first outing? As you know your vision is compromised and hearing is too. Be careful I know I lose sight of little ones within a 3 foot radius and you never know who is behind you. So if you don't have NCS coming with you I recommend that one of the school staff help you. Congrats on the first troop I know you must be excited! But remember trooper safety is most important! And I know that no matter how careful I am I always step on or bump a youngling during a troop - it happens. Good luck, be safe, have fun! MAYHEM TK/TS-62946

I concur with HYPER 100%

Remember the plastic bridge only permanently glue to the chest and free floats over the back. Place them following the angle of the chest plate (upper part going to the shoulder). As for placement for length it will depend on your size. I know on mine I placed mine as far up as I could due to me having a large chest and shoulders.

I totally agree I love my RT! Rob does a great job. The wait may be long and painful but you will be very happy with the kit.

WOW this is impressive makes me want to get my shiny white dirty!

Good for you Tony! I love my RT! Good luck on your build and have fun!

Very Cool!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Jesse! I understand the feelings the first step is the scariest. Once you jump in it is a roller coaster but so much fun! Good luck and don't worry to much about the little scratches they polish out real easy. Have FUN Mike

Hello all: Well my RT-Mod build is almost complete. I have very minimal movement of the helmet but am playing with it. My bigger question to all is..... When out in the field do you help each other suit up? I have only put everything on a couple times now but there is no way I can do it all by myself to save my life. I am hoping the Troopers helping Trooper covers suiting up in the field. Let me know if I need to start practicing, I would hate to be that TK with the butt plate open LOL Thanks, Mike

Congrats!!!!!! I am just finishing up my RT-Mod. I hope to submit for approval next month. Congrats again and have fun with your build!

Well Isaac you are correct I do have a barrel for a chest. I have had a couple people suggest placing more padding in the top of the bucket. I am going to give that a try. I am a abit worried on that because the helmet fits fine current. Darn I wish I had a smaller chest or longer neck. Thanks for all the suggestions I will let you all know how it goes. As for posting pics I am having issues. I posted pics on a build tread and now every time I try to add pics to any post I is telling me I do not have enough file space. It looks like I have only a finite amount of space to post pics. Am I doing something wrong??

Hello all: I am building a RT-Mod TK currently. As I am coming to the end the excitement grows. My question: Is it common to have very limited helmet movement? I have very little side to side and even less up and down. I believe I ultimately need my neck to be about two inches longer, but I don't think I can fix that. lol I have been thinking of enlarging the openning of the helmet a bit. The Helmet with my RT came assembled. I am thinking of removing the trim and cutting off about half an inch all the way around. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what kind of things have been done. Thanks for all your help so far. Mike
