Nice work on the updates, almost there

Can't quite see in your image but as long as they are tapered screws they will be fine

Nice work, you may just want to have a look at the spacing for your side rivets, the top ones look a little low Approximate spacing You may also find adding shoulder elastic will keep your rear straps down, sometimes a little heat is also needed

Coming along nicely

Anovos can be accepted for basic approval as well as both EIB and Centurion with some modifications, you could always build this kit and then on-sell once complete, could be a great learning experience. Can't go wrong with RS props for a full commission, but you may still need to do some tweaking on the strapping depending on your frame and what info you send them. You may also find you could save a few $'s and have it build by local garrison members, some take on commission builds so it may be worth asking. If you have decided to sell you could advertise on our sales area or even put it on Ebay, I know a few people who have purchased second hand Anovos kits there. Here is a link to the sales area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/11-for-saletrade-personal-items-only/

It may be a case of loose strapping. But in other cases you need to hold the sides in, I came up with a V tab which can help, some info here With a heat gun you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side (normally kidney) and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate.

Research is the key, if you don't know ask, many are on the forums ready to lend assistance, also check the gallery sections, full of screen references

Thank you all for the kind words, I must also thank our current DL Andrew @Sly11 and our founder Paul @Daetrin who has been a DL on more occasions that I can count, you guys have put up with me and I can be a pain in the neck. Just trying to give back to the forums for all those who have come before me and steered people in the right direction, FISD's mantra is "troopers helping troopers" and that's all I'm trying to do. This past year and a half has been very challenging time for me for medical reasons, I have probably been more active during this time compared to other years but I needed something to keep focus on, sorry if you guys are sick of seeing my flashing profile gif when you click "new content" This is a great community and a family and I hope to be part of it for some time to come

Definitely makes a difference from helmet makes and also armor makes, some seem easy others you just think WHY

Ideally I find using a very sharp drill on low speed while gripping on to the rear of the rivet with pliers the best. You can always use some washers and nuts and bolts now that you have the rivets out

Hello and welcome aboard, very exciting times, here is a bit of info which may be of help Looks like you have left a little of the teeth areas top and bottom, when in doubt check the Gallery section Also a few really helpful helmet builds:

Nice work trooper, a few suggestions before the DO's get here Appears you have quite a lot of excess belt you may want to trim down, also the shoulder bridges appear quite wide, you may want to take of a little more material. Also appears your rear shin cover strips go all the way over the top ridge, should stop just below the top ridge, even if you don't have mobility cuts I would even out the gaps between your elbows and wrists just for a more consistant look Butt plate is overlapping the kidney, you may need to adjust the strapping. Belt corners normally meet the width of the belt You may want to remove a little bit of paint as it appears you have some on the gums, you could also bring the sides of the vocoder paint up a little more Looks like you may have some weathering on the handle/grip, this as well as T-tracks where made from plastic so they would be black with no weathering Nice work on the TD, ideal is to have the screws closer to the panel but you will be ok for approval A few other photo's will be needed Close up front and both sides of your sniper plate Close up on the rivets on thigh ammo strip, outside and inside Close up of side rivets Close up of "Han" snap, (snap in upper corner of ab, right side) Close up of S trim on helmet Good luck with approval

Looking good, I found ears to be the most demanding piece of the whole kit with my first build, get easier the more you build but still a pain

Sounds like you will have your hands full, be looking forward to seeing your progress

Just had a quick look and downloaded fine, we did have someone working on a version of it which you can find here if you are interested in having a look

Yes the fronts look much better

I think you may be right, a touch on the thin side

Much appreciated Sergiu

Nice work, you have something black sticking out on the top side of your ab/kidney You may want to have a look at your drop boxes, not quite aligned with the ends of the plastic belt section. You may also notice the butt plate is pushing backwards, you may be able to tighten the strapping to hold it inwards in alignment with the kidney. Perhaps try some foam behind your sniper plate too which will help keep it away from the bottom of your thigh. You could rotate your shoulder bells inwards a little to close the gap between them and your chest. Also your biceps are hitting the forearms, maybe bring the biceps up a little. Note the drop boxes in this image. A few dressing tweaks with photos and I'm sure we'll see you approved very soon. Good luck

Many thanks, great detail

Thanks for the kind words. I may very well compile all the photos into a new thread and remove this one, will see once I've defeated photobucket
