Congratulations and welcome to the rank.

Welcome aboard sir and looking good.

Truly amazing work, I would love to know the total weight of the armour once completed.

Agreed, this is very cool indeed. Great job.

Hey Dawn, thank you for the detailed update and your teams Bio's. We know Mr Brager well Looking forward to seeing your CRL improvements and guides over the next few months.

I had some clean up to do on mine, and used Turps and toothpicks as Glen mentioned .

Congratulations and welcome to the rank .

I will add, the beauty of using Plasti dip Spray is you can actually and quite easily peel it off if you did manage to get a slight over spray.

Definitely easier to do this while the helmet is in pieces, plus it will take time for the paint or plasti dip to de-gas and the odor to reduce and fade away, so best to do this when you know you wont be trooping for a while.

Helmets and armour might be the same but new weapons are a 100% certainty, plus quite a number of special forces forces TK's in scenes

Congratulations and welcome aboard.

Congratulations AJ, well done.

Thank you Rob for all you have done over the years, same goes for Terry. Great to know RT-Mod armour will continue on and in it's new more refined state. Awesome work fellas.

Congratulations and welcome to the rank.

Welcome aboard Warren.

Excellent, I have a very similar gap. You don't want them too tight so you can move freely. Stairs are a challenge in a TK and that little bit of room may well allow you enough movement to negotiate them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That troop looked like a lot of fun, cool photos, thanks for sharing Teresa.

I feel your pain here Greg, as a fellow skinny chicken leg trooper lol. I trimmed the front haves first so the cover strip covered the front ridge on the two halves. My cover strips are 20mm wide so left 10mm of the ridge on each half at the front. I then tape them together and while wearing my under suit put my leg through each thigh and slid it all the way up as high as it would go. The next step is easy if you have a second person helping. Overlap the two halves at the back and mark a center point of the overlapping halves, both at the top and bottom of the thigh. Tape them with those pencil marks aligned and have a look from the front to see if you have a nice taper in the thigh shape. What you want is a taper in the shape (wider at the top and narrower at the knee end. Take the thighs off and have a look, if you are happy with the shape draw a line from the top pencil mark to the bottom on each half and that is your trim line. What I did from there was add an extra 10mm plus per side out towards the edge and create a new trim line and cut the excess material away. I did this so if something went wrong the cut the thighs were slightly larger and I could re adjust and re trim if needed. Hope that makes sense, usually I have a set of armour here I am building for someone and I would quickly mock it up and take some example photos, but currently I dont sorry.

Well this is going over and above. Already approved but fully prepared to move with the CRL changes and be truly happy abut it. Good on you Arthur and keep up the great work sir.

Outstanding work Dino.

Congratulations Kris!
