  1. If you run into troubles with the elastic peeling away I suggest using nylon webbing and rivet them on.
  2. Fantastic job on your build Max and welcome to Centurion
  3. Glad to be of assistance and great to have you over today.
  4. When I use velcro I use roughly 1/4 - 3/8" wide strips, any more then that is overkill IMHO. This allows for half the cover strip to be fixed, the other half free floating for the velcro. Note: Use industrial strength velcro. What also worked best for me was taking some 3m Scotch Brite pad to scuff the mounting area, then mineral spirits to remove any remaining dust or body oils.
  5. Glad it helped. After continuous paint chipping off the kidney rivets I finally took a sharpie to those as well however, on aluminum it looks a bit blue so paint is preferred.
  6. Correct, evenly spaced/positioned in the rear is the optimum however, not all movie thigh ammo belts were mounted exactly the same so we should lean towards grace vs perfection. Just my opinion of course
  7. Don't sweat it Daniel, we live and learn brother. Can't tell you how many times I goofed as DO
  8. Not to mention his eyes remind me of the Alien baby offspring of Ripley. Almost there though, keep up the great work Greg
  9. Ever since being a DO I never required nor did I encourage center alignment. What mattered was the rear or mounting placement. Not sure when, or if this has ever changed.
  10. I like that type of paint honestly, kind of gives it that rustic look
  11. Welcome Chris, looks like you been given some great information do far. Looking forward to seeing your armor build and it's completion.
  12. Always wanted to build one of these, inspiring Dan
  13. Yes. From the rear it's recommended you trim the inner elbow side giving you more flexibility. If you still require more room - From the front it's ok to trim up to the first indent but leaving a little of the original edge.
