<br>Maybe a different style of Velcro Captain? Or maybe due to overlap construction. That industrial Velcro is thick stuff.<br><br> I use industrial strength Velcro... No issues... *shrug*

<br><br> <br>Did you use a full 1 inch strip of Velcro on the back or did you cut in down the middle. I am having a hard time visualizing how the Velcro is supposed to go on.<br><br> Not sure how Mesh did it, but when I use Velcro on my calves, 1" strip down length of calf. When the calves close they overlap so the Velcro closes it and does hold. I use sponges inside calves, one for either side, close to top (2" down) to hold calf in place.

As for thigh strapping, I'd go with a garter system, takes the weight off the shoulders.

Have you tried to fit this onto you yet? Are you sure you are the same length as all pieces put together? You may need a bit more strapping between plates, having loose strapping is ok as the back and kidney will fall into place, and strapping will bend...

Back to munching and following lol

Summer one may be way to hot in the summer too lol My sniper plate is riveted if this helps any...

Go for basic approval first, the rest falls into place down the road.

Nice work, not fond of the mesh, but it's your bucket... Remember, filling up bucket,many cutting air space means less air flow, and more fan requirement.

Awesome, and good job Trooper! Welcome to the 501st Legion!

And he said I understated it lol

When you get home, measure it up... See how it looks against the belt, it may not looks as bad as you thought.

Got a belt handy to measure them up against?

Awesome, and pre welcome aboard!

The TD is on an angle and it should be square... Lol

I'm signed up for it

Niagara Falls ComicCon next month

Awesome! Congrats on getting all together! Now for getting approval.

It's not a battle wound when making your armour, only after armour is finished and you're in battle lol

I don't like heights either, but I ain't nutso lol

Sorry to hear about the loss... Hope all works out.

As to thighs don't trim that ledge off... All is looking well, and doing an awesome job, but I fear for your safety and hope there'll be a live trooper in the armour when done. Be safe!

No worries, look back, learn, and move on...

You're supposed to drink it, not spit it... Makes for messy computer screen too...

No, but you can be the only scarred trooper and show off your cuts to everyone else who never got them... The only purple you'll see from the 501st is a bruised ego...

What about trimming magnets down to make them fit? Anyone experiment with this?
