Here´s a picupdate!! I guess the only thing I´m missing now is the right gloves, so I cab attach the hand plates, sewing and riveting the holster (doing later today) and adding the moneyclips on the way from Tandy to the TD. Oh, and I guess I´m changing the white elastic for black between the chest and back. Oh, and I think I´m only missing the D-ring on the blaster for "Elite". If you see anything else than the aforementioned things, let me know please. Thanks for looking!

Thanks! As missingpieces said, this is just necessary for elite-status, but on a sidenote, it makes the armor sit really well. Sits a bit tighter than without, so I´d do the mod no matter what.

Right, I really need some feedback and opinions on this before I go ahead and cut. I've filled the sides with white ABS, but here's the issue; the kidneyplate is shorter than the sides of the ab plate. So, do I cut it like this: Or like this: I decided to just do this: Think it turned out kinda nice, if I ask myself!

That's an easy fix. Just fasten some velcro where the elastics cross and another aleastic with velcro from the top to close it all up. On the other hand, I don't plan on doing jumoing jacks either

I used all four belt strips to make snap holders and shims

Definately works for that scene... just need to find explanations for all the others now... :-)

It´s that the edge turns inward towards the body in stead of just just being straight. It simulates thickness of the armor, if you will. And thanks! I´ll be finished next week:)

As for the mic sliding up or down, I guess the neckseal might hold in place.

I know. But I wanted 1mm, which they don´t show having on the web. But after a quick call things changed. So I have two sheets of 1mm arriving in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully the color matches!!

Just remember that if you're going for a throatmic, you usually need to invest some credits. Cheap throatmics tend to not work that well. And if the slide a bit down or up they may not register anything.

That looks like it would work out great!!

Experiment:-) Most parts like the ones needed for something like this are fairly cheap. Get a solderingiron end try out some stuff:)

I'm guessing that if you live in the states, that Radio Shack is a good place to just browse around and see what you find. That's what I've done to find good solutions to things since I don't have any sort of experience with electronics.

Here in Norway a set of Motorola hunting radios don´t set you back more than $100 a pair. They have a range to about 3km. Whatever you buy you´ll have problems because it´s fitted inside the bucket or somewhere else on your armor, which drastically decreases the range when the antenna is covered up.

Thanks for all the tips! I solved the holster problem, at least for a while. Just surfed on and found an old thread, where someone in here mentioned that he inverted the mirrored FX-holster. I did, and ...TADA!!! Holster the right way to fit on the left side! Just need to put some stitches through it and we´re good to go:)

If you could get a hold of a type of slider switch, so you just slide the outer bump of the ear one way to open the comms, and back when the message is sendt, you might be on to something:)

I used white elastic, but I've also seen white nylon webbing as well.

Oh yeah. Can't be walking around looking like a patched rug! Oh, and just a quick question: Is it ok with white elastic between the chest and back? Or do I need to change it to black? Same with the elastic running behind the biceps for that matter.

I also heard that changing/upgrading the molds required making new ones from scratch, since the ones they had where metal and difficult to rework. I was just told this after asking about why they didn't redo/fix up the molds to be more accurate, since it's commonly known that most of the parts are "wrong". I'm not sure about the history of the FX, but what I heard is that two guys parted ways and that one is sitting on these metal molds

Why, thank you good sir! It really halped the shoulders, just trimmed of a few millimeters all around, used a heatgun to make them a little less wide and gave them "the EDGE" :-)

I know some of the guys in the Nordic Garrison are thinking of a mod to the ROM/FX with a PPT button and some sort of radios or something to communicate with each other. Maybe some of the NG-guys on here can elaborate? If I find anything, I'll let you know.

The thought has crossed my mind, and I will if the ABS doesn't fit or is the wrong shade of white. But hopefully the ABS will be sexy as hell.

Ab and kidney, good sir:)

Yeah, I know, read it. Just forgot, but what the hell. I just phoned in an order on some abs sheets now, hopefully they will work. I'm not really a patient human being:-) I'll have them in place this weekend, stay tuned. (Still need a holster though;-)

Yeah, but the ones they have are small and thick. I've considered ordering and trying them (but at the prices over here, it's expensive to screw up).
