Tolo

Hello Troops, So I did my second application to get into the 501st Legion and I still have more work to do on my armor. Some tweaks I can fix without any problems, as I have already started. But, my major problem is my belt being too low. It is suppose to arrive over the butt plate, but, my armor is used and when my friend had cut the butt/kidney plate, he had made the cut to be hidden by the belt. So that screws me a bit. How can I fix that? Here are my application pictures and what I was told to fix by the GML; -remove black straps connecting the chest & backplates, under the arms. Connecting the chest to the ab & the back to the kidney on the inside should be sufficient to secure those pieces. DONE - thighs seem to jam into shins and you may want these raised up a bit WORKING ON IT AS I'M TYPING THIS - the whole Ab/Kidney/Cod/Butt/Belt area is hanging too low. Belt should be above butt plate. It probably just needs to be a bit tighter. I can do some of it, but, my belt butt issue is my major problem. (I could have smiled loll) Thanks for your help, Eric

I used some E-6000 and HIPS. Seem to be doing the job Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

And that's the end results. (I know it's dirty, but, I just received my Novus today, so I'm cleaning it now lol)

I've notice that when I put my armor on , my cod piece has a tendency of going towards the rear because of my webbing going from my cod piece to my butt piece. I tried using a longer elastic, but, it's still looks worst.

Hello Troops, When I purchase my armor from my friend, he had cut the cod piece from the ab plate. Today I decided to glue them back together. I used a piece of HIPS and E-6000 to glue them back. My question is very simple; What is the success rate of this modification? Anybody had problems with the pieces un-glueing? Thanks, Eric

I'm a "husky" guy too. Here are some pictures I took. Sorry for the bad quality, I did not feel like taking my camera out, so I used my cell lol. Here is a picture of my shim on my tight And these are pictures of my side shims. I glued them on with E-6000. I use snaps to hold them in place on the ab plate. Ignore the velcro that you see, it's there for method that I tried that did not work.

Your tights looks like they were modified. Almost looks like RT's. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Maybe urethane? The type they use to hold windshields on cars. It's very strong and flexible. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

So I just saw this topic for the first time. I have always been a bigger guy, but, a got a shovel in the face when I went on a scale at the end of 2010 and saw 325 lbs at 5' 11". I got scared, really scared. So it gave me a kick in the you know what to start loosing some weight. But, that kick took some time to work. By the end of 2011, I had only lost 20 lbs. I took a new years resolution to loose some weight and for the first time in my life, I kept the resolution. In june of 2012, I was at 260 lbs. Last saturday (July 6th 2013) I was at my record low since october 2002 of 247 lbs. I was wearing size 48 pants, now I'm down at size 38. I was wearing XXL tight sweaters and now I'm at XL with a comfortable fit. I still have 27 lbs to my goal. 78 lbs gone, my goal is to loose 105 lbs total. I'm getting there, but, the last 27 lbs are so hard to loose lolll. Here is a picture of me in september 2011 And here is a picture of me with the legendary Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart (I'm a former pro wrestler and this is in a lockeroom as I was working in "backstage" duties) June 2012

Cudos to both of you. That's a very heart touching story. All honours to you.
