  1. Hi mate, good timing i am piercing together the chest and back plate today, did you get a definitive answer to the question? Peter
  2. Hi, I did read someone had this problem in a build thread, with so many threads i cannot recall which one. My lid is crooked, how do i rectify and do i do this before trimming the ears to fit? Thank you
  3. Hello, i know there has been comment in threads about the angle of the lid, so many threads to go back and find. okely dokely, the angle on the helmet is not right: * how do i fix? * do i fix before finishing ears? Peter
  4. Okey dokley, normal life stuff out of the way and back onto it, took the day off today to get re-aquainted with the shiny plastic
  5. Brilliant than you, going to keep the return edge at the top for effect, and remove from the bottom without loosing the effect.
  6. Apologies if this is obvious, I didn't see it in recent posts. With the AM thighs, what is the suggestions on the return edges, both the top and the bottom. I haven't cut the back yet so now is the time before i go too far. thanks Peter
  7. Moriar69, this is a good thread you started and the comments are great for reference. well done mate
  8. HI DarthDadio, have you got a picture of your holster and suspenders
  9. I love my Lexan scissors, cut everything and very strong
  10. thanks mate, i am going to cut on the conservative side of things as i love your though on don't loss roundness. i can always cut more when i post for final comments from people before lodging.
  11. NIce looking build mate, looks nice and shiny, you can tell you spent some time with the polish. good luck
  12. Thanks Steve, good timing i hadn't got back to the belt yet, i have been getting my guard cleaned and ready for the Brisbane Supanova coming up.
  13. HI Rick, thanks for that, the forums in Australia are not complimentary to AM back plates, opinion but no assistance. Thanks for your tip. Did you measure a certain distance in, i just don't want to take off too much? And iss there a return edge put on the plate after the cut, as there isn't one now?
  14. HI everyone, I have my Dremel humming in my hand and before i cut the back plate, please give me your thoughts and options. In the reference picture where I labelled "A", the cut is slanted back. Where i referenced "B" it is straight down. Is there a wearing preference for fit and comfort? IS there a deal breaker for approval which one to use? thanks everyone pin advance.
  15. Much appreciated Steve, some very clear points. Going to reduce them from approx 10mm to 5 mm to give the look of thicker armour still.
  16. Hey mate it looks great, can i ask a question, reference did you use to know how much to cut off the side of the back plate, i am just about to gut them back.
  17. The AM kit comes with very generous return edges, looking at build there looks like this is removed or reduced. What is the opinions on removing this for ease of wearing or approvals.
  18. Thanks Eric, that is good to know the frequency you use the Novus
  19. Steve thats a good tip, saves learning by mistakes and fitting flush issues.
  20. a day of getting the many tasks not finished. Copying the build thread of a guy here "Bids" replicated his arm system, his looks great and he troops comfortably.. so reinvent the wheel. Here are my shoulder and biceps, about to attach the arms… perhaps at the end of the Band of Brothers distraction at the moment.
  21. thanks mate for the info, that sounds good to me.
  22. Ron, of all the build comments yours rings true the best regarding symmetrical. sometimes it looks like an illusion
  23. looking good James.. good to follow the diarised build
