  1. nothing is set in stone yet all just sitting there, looking for the right cuts, measurements ect.
  2. its not. just checking placement before i punch holes.
  3. I've seen those on Ebay, wasnt sure about them it gets pretty hot in these parts. and NEVER as cold as Minnesota.
  4. working on the belt, this set utp looking alright?
  5. A re your mic tip going to have functional speakers? I have been thinking it would be kind of cool to have your voice come out of the mic tip but havent found speakers small enough.
  6. I think you should be OK, best of luck your lookin good!
  7. Lots of short ones out there! have a look at this thread. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21994-tk-for-5-foot-3-inch-male-possible/page__hl__foot#entry274053
  8. The Ab can come up a little but not much, the chest can come down without much problem. Just worried about to much Black showing under the helmet. and still looking for a good reference for the shoulder bells. They just dont look right to me.
  9. the chest can come down lower right? how much black showing is acceptable. helmet will sit higher when its padded and the thighs should come up when strapped, they kept falling down for the pics. Also is there a close up of the shoulder bells somewhere? im not sure how to trim and shape them.
  10. put it all on tonight nothing is strapped on, so its all just kinda hanging there, and the shoulders are only rough cut and sitting on my shoulders. I will do some clean up and star thinking about the strapping system tomorrow.
  11. The build looks great! I just had to look at a measurment chart because I cant convert Standard to Metric in my head, I saw size 77 jeans, and I thought WoW thats alot of shims...oh metric right.
  12. yeah everything is on hold till I get those right in my mind.
  13. Thanks! would have been easier without the wife telling me the whole time "Your being obsessive! It looked fine. How many times are you gonna keep tearing that apart?" All I could do was grunt and keep sanding. of course it didnt help that I walked into the room covered in sand dust and tracked it through her kitchen.... made my daughter laugh, but she didnt sleep on the couch LOL.
  14. So I made some major cutting errors, and the thighs didnt fit right. So not wanting to have huge shims everywhere, I decided to take on some reshaping the plastic itself. so over about 8 hours I have made a little progress. Starting gap. Didnt like it, and the back was trimmend already so i moved to the front. So. I used a seam iron and started taking the ridge out of the plastic so i would have more curve than ridge in the plastic itself then started to rebuild the ridge with scrap plastic, zap-a-gap, silicone caulk, and fiberglass jelly. Wait for everything to set up then start sanding, and sanding and sanding.. After more sanding, I have managed to get the cover strip dow to 22mm. still a little rough but much closer to what I wanted. getting ready to clean it up a little more and finish the other thigh.. Be gentile. I made some stupid mistakes up to this point but it seems to fit now. So back to the build. Thanks Sam
