I got asked by a group of teenage girls (13-14 years old) if I had a beard. not sure if they could see in my bucket, but I did have some stuble. I just told them.....maybe....

I have some gap between the back and chest at the shoulder, it's really about what is comfortable, and to make sure it's not choking you. As far as the Chest, what you have marked is correct to cut off. The back can be trimmed up some more, just trace the curvature of the back along the sides that is (this is mainly for comfort and doesn't affect approval) and what you have marked off on the shoulder straps is correct! Looking good!

19601 after my dads 1960 Chevy impala named #1, I was brought home from the hospital when i was born in that car, and i've had so many good memories w/ my family in it.

Thanks Everyone! Steve, It's a great kit. take your time and enjoy it, it goes by faster than you think! Good luck!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!! TK-19601 REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!!

Hello! TK-19601 requesting access http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=19312 Thank you!

LMFAO!!! YOU SIR JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!

What he said!

You can take the return edge off of the shins and the thighs...top and bottom. it will not affect EIB or Centurion status. I took mine off just for mobility sake and to eliminate armor bites. Looking good BTW...once you start getting cover strips on and some parts complete the whole thing comes together. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Greg! I also appreciate all the help along the way!

Thanks Josh, Your armor turned out great! Good for you for goind Hero as well, I hear getting the bucket to have only three teeth on each side is a pain in the butt! Good luck on your EIB!

Jason, Thanks for the comment, the tab to keep the kidney in place slipped out on the right side. when it is in place it helps keep the kidney tucked in a little more and eliminates the gap. I also noticed I forgot to paint the knee ammo rivites white! lol.....oh well....I guess it's true that you are never really DONE w/ the armor.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation and had a hard time finding someone to take the pics. I just sent my submission photos into my GML and I wanted to share them with my FISD buddies! and here they are! on this next one, my tab to keep the kidney from sliping out.......sliped out. lol but at least the ab and kidney are aligned! Action Shot.....I know.....how original! Since these photos, I have fixed my hand gaurds so they don't come up as much and adjusted the thighs to come up and the arms for more mobility. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it (if I had hair to pull out) I'll post again when I get the confirmation. As always, comments are welcome! Also....thanks to everyone who posted comments and provided help along the way!

Hey Drew! Sorry for the delayed response...darn vacations! lol I use some regular black copper wire you can find at almost any electrical store or off of an old apliance that you don't need or is broken. I used the satin black paint, i didn't want gloss or flat, so this is a good inbetween. I did not prime it before hand but it wouldn't hurt, also make sure to sand down the t track before painting (because now i have to repaint mine) Hope this helps!

Thanks Greg! I did test them out by walking around my apartment for about 10 mins. No armor bites. I used webbing because i wanted to make sure they stated up all the way.They are a little stiff but the good thing is i have just enough pudge around my belly to give it enough slack! I just had so much webbing left over and no elastic left and didn't want to waste it. but i used E6000, so i can always change it if need be! I'm so excited to be near the end of this journey, but i know my real journey w/ the Legion is just begining!
