Ratchet

I'm a little concerned on the fit with the forearms, the gap at the hand end seems to loose and floppy, but its a small as I can make it and still fit my hand through any suggestions? Moving on....Greaves marking the cut line cut and taped fitting, don't forget the boots as you can see the paint on the boots isn't holding up very well, might have to try something different.

Made a start on my temp boots, this are just to get me through until TK Boots are back up and running again.

This has been copied from my Garrison Thread, so its a little old, I forgot in all the excitement that I have a huge wealth of knowledge and help here Its here....Its here...ITS HERE!!!!!this is how I remember Xmas morning feeling like. I placed my order with Trooper Gear back on the 19th July, didn't expect it to arrive this quick. I decided that NE Armour was my best option for 2 reason, 1st as a Fortified Assault Trooper ,I really only had 2 choices and after receiving this reply "Unfortunately at the present time I am not taking any more new orders for full suits or parts. As well, the wait list for 2013 is full and I am now into the 2014 wait list which you are welcome to join." from Rob at RT-Mod. I was down to 1, and it was my preferred anyway. Well protected Lots of options Even more, flat lenses, bubble lenses, glue, mic tips, even a helmet liner. Pre made straps, not sure how much I'll use of this yet, but I'll work that out as I get closer to that part. Now the best part the entire suit in all its shiny white goodness all the extras, not matter which style of TK you want to be 3 piece bucket with the eyes already cut out...Sad I wanted to do that!!!) oh well moving on. Seems to be a good size with ruffly putting it together and fits comfortably on my head.

my first FISD newsletter, very presice, informatative and profressional.Nice work.

Guys with the NE armour what is the Quality of the buckets like? reading the coments about the old AM "Helmet is a bit larger than scree-derived, and the face is the least accurate acceptable (though the dome is fine)" I was thinking of ordering a lite kit and source a bucket from another supplier. Appreciate the feedback.
