  6. New NE build Tampa Fl

    Posted · Edited by Pencap510

    Just sitting here on the couch watching playoff hockey, and can only think of my build lol. (Is that normal??). 2 questions-

    1) how does one secure the 2 male snaps to the cod to hold up the canvas belt, and 2) how thick should the drop boxes be. Think I'm gonna get my belt finished next ;)

    I'm in progress on the shins. Researching som threads. I'm good with cutting to the 10mm spacing per side for a 20mm cover strip in the front then fitting the back- but height is gonna be an issue right now because I haven't purchased boots yet. It's the 1 piece I don't have to complete my kit. <br /><br />So I'm stuck in 2 parts - <br /><br />1) how much return did you cut off the top of the thighs <br /><br />And 2). Based on my ammo pack pictures above, should I rotate the pack left to help with the overlap on the back of the right thigh? Where it joins? I was originally trying to line up the center ammo pack- but did notice it doesn't have to be centered <br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I started by added a new row of snaps to the shoulder straps to let the cod hang just a little bit lower. I also tightened up the shoulder bell strap to bring the bells in a little closer. I'm happy with the way it's hanging, but I'm going to have to use some sturdier connection between the ab plate and be kidney because the elastic I'm using now isn't holding he two halves close enough together. <br /><br />I'm not really pleased with my thighs to this point yet, but I think that lowering the cod helped a little with the gap between the cod and the thighs. <br /><br />(I've finished my shins yet, cuz I don't have boots- but this IS the first time I've put it all on, including arms. )<br /><br />GMmEilc.jpg<br />sh3y2qe.jpg<br />uW0PlKi.jpg<br />t8IyoBr.jpg<br />hLHLS6Q.jpg<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And I'm certainly no expert but from my opinion we are in exact opposite spots.. We're around the same height 5'10" - and I think I might have taken off TOO MUCH. From my thighs- we're you're trying to keep the original sizing..the NE thighs are HUGE. your fronts look like they sit well, but when hiked up that high, the backs look like their going to be a problem, both with how the butt plate sits, and when you try to walk..
