    Welcome Mathew. I am sure some taller troopers wil jump in and provide their thoughts. If not, you may consider starting a thread specific to the "taller trooper" subject. Good luck with your research. You'll find this to be a fantastic and helpful community of troopers!

  13. Q on AP thighs?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    My question is about the butt join for AP: I'm thinking, and from looking at the tutorials on the main page, that you basically trim the natural molded into the armor overlap on bOth sides of the thigh pieces and join them together...as for the back, there's only one overlap, do you trim off all of it or just what's needed and butt join it to the other side, then apply strip?

     

    The reason im asking is the tutorial shows two overlap molds on the back side of the thigh armor.. The AP i have is just one

     

    If I understand the question, on my AP build I trimmed a little off both sides so that the coverstrip lines up with the raised section of the one side.

    Clamps, you need Clamps. A lot of them. You never can have enough Clamps! ;)

    AP was a great first (and only so far) kit for me...another 40+ trooper. I decided from the get go to go for Centurion and built with this goal in mind. It took me about a month to get the kit from box to approved and another couple weeks to get the final Centurion mods completed. Get your build thread primed and ready and there will be tons of support available to you here.

     

    Good luck!!!

  21. Q about snaps?

    Nylon webbing is nice and sturdy (I was able to get about 50 feet of it at a hardware store) but it is a little more difficult to get snaps into.

    If you have a soldering iron, you can poke a nice hole in the nylon webbing, the other easy option is a punch tool (which comes in handy for all your snap/strapping needs ;)

    Got a question: What do people do about the charging handle? It won't sit in the trench correctly, since the barrel is much thicker than an actual Sterling...

     

    I'm thinking of shaving off some of the round part to make it fit (outside the red line in the below picture) and then gluing in/to the end of the trench. I think creating a working bolt is too difficult for me right now, so glued in place will have to do.

     

     

    I removed the same area you have highlighted when attaching the handle to my bolt (see my build in my sig below). I also love dm101's build thread.
