  3. I am building a kids TD for my 5 year old

    Well, here goes!  I have been working on my little guys TD armor that I purchased from Walt.  I have been taking photos along the way while I have been building and just now put them into photo bucket.  I apologize I have so many at once.  I have been trying to build this as accurate as I possibly can with what is available.  I can't use traditional strapping as I want to build it so he can be in it for a few seasons.  This is for all the dads and little dudes out there that want to be on the bad side!

    Welcome aboard brother! Congrats on the new armor and I am sure you are looking forward to your first brown box. Best advice is to shoot for at least EIB right out of the gate. You will find it is not any more work to get the extra accuracy if you do it from the beginning. You will find that everyone on the forum will be more than happy to help you with your build. I think what helped me out the most when I started, was looking at a bunch of builds on the forum. Look at pinned builds and use them as a bit of a template. Make sure it lines up with all of the EIB requirements so you don't have a bunch of redo's. Ask questions often! Just my two pennies!

    Quick note! Build to EIB right out of the box brother. Go the extra mile, it is way worth it! Myself or our Wisconsin attaché Brian Rodgers can help with any questions on making your armor the best it can be without a ton of extra effort. We have both been through it.

    We should inspire all our new troopers to strive for EI! It truly was no more work (other than a bit of research) to reach EI or Centurion. Going into my first build I wish I was prompted to go the extra mile on it. I have converted my first TK to a TD that just was approved for police officer status. I ordered an new set of TM armor and did it the right way from the start. Soooooo much easier to do all the details from the beginning than pulling apart all those parts coated in E-6000. I like the movement! Push all troopers to the best accuracy. Well done on this fellas!

    Hi everyone. After building my last two TK`s I thought I needed a bit of a break. I noticed a few weeks ago that a set of kids armor was available! I have no choice but to start the third set now. I asked my son if he wanted me to build it as a TK or a sandy and he wants it dirty. I received the armor already and began trimming. I also received a move along pack from dirty boy that is so tiny and awesome. I will be posting on the build as I get more stuff together. I do have one question to help get me started. What size cover strips do I use on armor that is for a 5 year old? Any help would sure be appreciated and I can honestly say I have never been more excited to build a set of armor!

     

    Cheers,
