Ditch

So while I am waiting on my AP armor to get here, I decided to dive into a Doopydoos E-11. I have already built a Hasbro conversion. But decided to sell it to a friend so I can get a more screen accurate E-11. This is what I got today. What did I get myself into? I will update as the build goes on.

So I got my Trooperbay latex guards and my nomex gloves this week. But still am a bit worried on the best way to attach them. Any clues?

I have bought 2 of these. I still am working on my armor so I can't give you a troop report on it. But it seems to be a good one for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Schampa-Coolskin-Balaclava-Black-BLCLV015/dp/B0012TWSSA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I figure I'd test the waters. I ordered a E-11 Hasbro conversion kit 4 or 5 months ago and no issues. But I just placed an order for a full E-11 kit. Got the email today saying dispatched. Lets see how long it takes.

Has anyone tried sewing some industrial Velcro to the nomex glove and then adhering the other side to the hand guard?

Got my TK boot yesterday. LOVIN IT!!! Now I just need to wait for my AP armor to be finished trimmed and sent to me.

I'm waiting for Mark at AP to finish trimming my ANH TK so he can send it off to my. I have been in the process of purchasing other thing such as my boot, compression top and bottoms, building my E-11 blaster and other mics. things while I patiently wait for my armor.

Very impressive and very detailed!!!! Thanks for sharing.

TK products Icomm is the way to go.

I'm not even a member yet and I can see all kinds of fail in those pictures.

I tried to contact them over a month ago and all I got was the canned response. I went with the AP kit instead. I hope I made a good choice.

Trust me, I am jonesing for my TK boots. They were supposed to arrive last week but now UPS delivered them today, and I left town for a couple of weeks for work. So now I have to wait till I get home and get up to the complex office to get them.

After going out on a troop today as a handler I see the point you all are making. There were only 2 TK's but both were completely different in the way they strapped their armor. I have a lot to learn.

Thanks for all the input. This might be something worth looking into . Is there a demand for something like this?

I believe if it's the DoopyDoos kit the you would be safe. But I may be wrong.

Is there a provider out there that can supply the webbing, buckles/snaps, and Velcro in an all in one kit? I'm only asking because I have been having issues trying to find these things at local HD/Lowes or what ever stores. If there was a place that I could get all of these things in a one stop shop I'd rather spend my money once then 10 times. Thanks

Do any of you out there use your detonator as a storage device while trooping? I have seen a few things on the net that people put an elastic band between the caps to help hold them in while you have keys/personal effects in it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

That is perfect. Thanks for the response. I was looking in all the forums and couldn't find what I was looking for.

So, I dont have my armor kit yet. But I have been doing alot or research. I have an older EFX bucket that I wore for Halloween a couple of time and put some small PC fans in it. They do an ok job, but I have seen more and more people using the squirrel fans. Is there a good trustworthy supplier that can be reccomended? Thanks.

Just got an email response and placed my order. Thanks for the info everyone.

I sent them an email tonight. I guess I will have to wait and see.

So I went to try and get a pair of boots today from TKboot.com and they say they are nolonger selling them for now. Does anyone have an alternative supplier that is reputable?

I will have to try it when I get my parts. I ordered my TK armor this morning from AP. I am like a kid at XMas, can't wait. BTW, in the mean time, here is a picture of my E11 that I put togeter a few weeks ago. ---------------
