It's used to keep the nuts from gradually unscrewing and falling off the bolts. But apparently you have to be super careful it doesn't touch plastic.

It did some pretty extensive damage to my armor: Time to start repairs.

Finally got my brown box! So far all I've done is take the stuff out, look it over, and wonder what I've gotten myself into. I guess first up I'll do a breakdown of what I have so far, and what I'm planning on getting. - UPDATED Again! (for a more current list) In my hands now I have: The main armor kit is ATA, with helmet. I have boots from TKBoots Gloves I got from Sonnenshein Belt from TKittell Torso strap kit from MrNoStripes Inner drop boxes from kwdesigns Neck seal and holster from Darman Testors paints in gray, blue, white, and black A box of white industrial strength velcro Novus plastic polish On order I have: A body suit from Renaissance Dancewear E-11 resin kit from Doopydoos (just mailed today) A box of black industrial strength velcro Some pads for the helmet Case fans from Evilboy In the works: Getting parts to convert my E-11 with Sterling machine gun parts from Apex gun parts so it'll have a working stock and such. I'm still undecided on soundsystem (looked at iComm and ROM/FX. Are there other options to consider?) I don't have most of the other straps and such yet. And so my post isn't totally boring, here's a pic of all the armor bits laid out: I've started trimming the helmet and the arm plates. I'm getting to the point I'm going to have done almost everything I can on my own for now. Chris
