Looking good

I like the textured up side but it's all personal taste

Looking good

Looking good, I got mine from Bunnings

I had seen this photo, it shoes the rebel blaster but if you look on the box it is showing a standard E-11 in the top right, don't panic yet -------

Looking good, just one thing, I believe the power cylinders should run inline with the barrel

Congrats and welcome to the ranks

I know it's only a mm but ATA specify 16mm for the front of arms

Have you made sure your ears are high enough up the cheek, do they meet with the top corner of your s trim?

Nice find, why the long face LOL

Very nice

Nice work so far. Just keep an eye on the bolts when you troop, two fellow members who troop hard have been splinting their armor between the bolts, we have just convert one to the snap and elastic method. All depends how much of a hard time you give your armor, if you treat it carefully you should be fine

I use a heat gun, others just sit the abs in boiling water, even the oven method will work, just make sure you keep checking to see if it bends, there's a fine line between softening abs to melting abs, like most things undertaken for the first time, try which ever method with some scrap abs first

Coming along nicely, keep up the good work

Congrats and welcome aboard

NICE

I would stick with the E6000, at least that gives you the ability to remove the straps if needed

Very impressive, takes me back to the 70's, Disco Trooper lol

Looking good, the ears should cover the sides were they join, s trim will meet up with the top of the ear, depending were the ears sit you may end up with a slight gap between the ear and s trim, see how you go

Looking good, not much longer

Congrats and welcome to the ranks

Congrats and welcome to the ranks

That's what I like to see, no panic, just get straight to cutting

Congrats and welcome to the ranks

There's a few different ways to add sound, from the high end it would be an arduino build, down to a $5 toy blaster, both work well it just depends how screen like you want it to sound. For lights the arduino allows quite a nice bank of lights, also a graph for ammunition level, at the cheap and easy end you can just add a high bright LED, one side comes from the battery the other goes to the switch. A nice trick it to fit an output jack to your speaker so you can run a cable to your amp, really pumps out the sound
