    I use small computer fans with 1 x 7.2 volt battery pack form model remote cars, last heaps longer than 2 x 9 volt batteries and keeps me cool all day

    Coming along nicely, just watch the gap between the top and faceplate, you don't want it too big, a small gap is good to allow air circulation

    Had a similar problem with a friends armor, didn't matter what we did with the elastic it still popped out. Ended up making a couple of abs strips with a v section in the middle of them with heat which goes over the return edge inside then glue the flat sections to the inside of the butt and back plates.

    Most buckets you can see a ridge from the vacuum pull, best advice is to check out others build threads if you are unsure how far to go, good luck

    A few pics from Telethon held here in Perth on the weekend, Telethon raised $20.7 million this year, they also crossed a milestone for collecting a total of $154 million. We took part in the Kids Carnival, met some of the 7 morning show stars and also channel 7's mascot Fat Cat.

    Looking good, just take your time on the ears, they are the worst part of the build, take off a little at a time, less is more

    Some sharpies react with the thinners in paint and may run, but do try a test piece and just do very light coats with a good wait in between, even standing by with a heat gun or hair dryer may be helpful

    No problems Ruck, thanks for the feedback, will be making binders for a while yet, not sure when the next E-11 build will be, keep you informed

    The screen shown position of the strap on the chest plate is one large ridge and 4 and 1/2 small ridges, as the ATA chest plate is different to most you can only fit one large ridge and 2 and 1/2 ridges on the chest plate.

    Head to the getting started section to find vetted armor suppliers

    Depending on height and fitting some cut out a section on the rear of the thigh and calve, this is screen accurate so it is approvable. AS I have long legs I didn't have an issue and to this date not suffered an armor bite, but I am one of the lucky ones You can see the sections removed in the photo below
