Well I've wanted one for at least thirty years now, so I just can't give up [emoji6] Yea, I saw that you were aiming for a TD. I really have to check out that thread sometime soon! Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Hehehe... Just nu ligger det väldigt på is. Kan liksom aldrig hitta tiden och friden för att sätta mig och bygga. Men jag har inte gett upp iaf. Den hänger i klädkammaren och bara väntar på rätt tillfälle [emoji6] Aaand the translation: It's very much on hold right now. I can never just find the time, or the peace of mind to sit down and build. But I haven't given up! It hangs in my closet, just waiting for the right moment. Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

No progress I'm afraid. Me and my gf have been moving in to a new and bigger apartment. So between work and trying to get the new place in order, there hasn't been much time to fiddle with the armour.

Congratulations to the approval and a great looking armour. [emoji16] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Thank you kindly Sir. I did the same to my but and kidney, but I used a hair dryer instead [emoji6]It worked pretty good on the PVC, but it was nerve wrecking, to say the least. I will try the hot water bath on the shins soon, but I think I have to test with some scrap pieces first, since I'm not sure how the plastic will react. Nervous moments is coming [emoji29] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Thank you Sir! I will try my very best

You can find measures for the torso and kidney rivets here. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/41016-Billgrams---the-one-stop-shop And I think it was first rivet 20mm from the top, second rivet 52 mms from the first and third 53mm from second. As for the rivet covers on the belt , I made mine about 3mm wider than the round part, on every side. So roughly 26 mm across [emoji4] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Well, you never know [emoji2][emoji6] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Thanks mate Hahahaha... I hear you. It's very hard to go slow. I've been following your build, and when I take a small step, you seem to go forth in giant leaps But I must say, that it's looking extremely good.

Well... The build continues. Veery slowly, and not so steady. But small steps... [emoji16] This time I've been fiddling with the arms and belt. I still need to make the bicep hooks and fix the drop boxes in their final location Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

That looks just sooo nice

I bet you will [emoji16] And I have some new inspiration now [emoji6] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

That looks really, really great

That's awesome! I really appreciate the help [emoji2] Nice armour btw [emoji6] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Hehe... I have already lowered the chest a bit, so I will do as you suggest and trim the neck. I'd rather not go with the Luke look [emoji6] And it feels good to get a confirmation on the brackets. Thanks mate [emoji16] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Well... first trye-out. Don't really know if it fits ok or not. There's a lot of space between me and the armor at the sides, the chest is right up against my throat , plus I think I need to tighten the straps between kidney and butt. Maybe even re- position the brackets... Oh yes, try to get that butt plate to not flare out quite as much [emoji1] If anyone has any suggestions, please chime in.

Yea... I think you are right. I will re check and measure again (and mabey a few times more) . My ultimate dream is centurion, so I don't want to make any stupid mistakes just because I want to finish things to fast. Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Wonderful stuff

Sooo... I'm trying to figure out the placement on the side split rivets and the Han snap. Was looking at the Bilhag "Bilgrams", some reference pics and a Troopermaster hero build on Facebook, and this is my conclusion. Does this seem right to you guys? Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

The requested pics of torso and biceps. I think that I will lower the chest a wee bit... Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Hehe... Okey, I will get some pics as soon as I'm able [emoji106] Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Hahahahaha.... Patience! There will be pics, soon

Yepp. I have glued the biceps, attached the brackets to chest and torso and started on the forearms. But I think I need to make longer loops for the chest. And I need to get more glue

Oh yes. Her sponge stripes looks really good. I think I will try to make some templates of my own first. The shipping rate from the US is not very funny at all
