  1. Armor looks awesome Mark I can see a couple adjustment that may be required but I'll let the DO's make the call outs. Good luck with your application.
  2. Amazon is also an additional source for elastic and nylon webbing.
  3. Looking great. I've never had any luck polishing the green lens material, as you mentioned it just blurs them. If you can't remedy the problem you can pick up replacements relatively cheap on Trooperbay.com
  4. Hey Avery welcome. Most armor here is built to the ANH "Stunt" type. That said, regardless of type all are assembled using the clam style entry (Stunt, Hero, ESB and ROTJ). If you follow any of the pinned build threads you can't go wrong. Hope this helps and please let us know if you have further questions.
  5. Coming along nicely Brit
  6. Looking forward to seeing this finished Shawn
  7. Welcome to the FISD
  8. Indeed Agreed, some type of plastic epoxy
  9. If you use the correct tape you shouldn't have too much bleeding. Worst case scenario you may need to clean up some edge points with a tooth pick.
  10. The only issue I see using E6000 here or any other areas near seams is it will flex and when it flexes it may crack the seam filler and paint. This advice may be a little late however I suggest using plastic welder/epoxy so the area connections and seams are permanent and have minimal flex.
  11. Got Clamps!? Whatever works
  12. Nice work, clean. A little paint to that middle screw and you're set. Keep up the great work.
  13. Getting better. When in doubt purchase a circle radius stencil, lay it over painter's/making tape, select your hole size, cut the hole using an exacto knife, lay painter tape over button and paint. Note: hole circumference should be the same size as the button crown (slightly smaller than what's shown below).
  14. Hey Gretchen looking great. The only area I can see your GML calling out at basic would be the unpainted thigh ammo pack rivet/s, they should be white. Other areas that will need to be resolved if shooting for EIB or above would be the following: 1. Hovi tip mesh incorrect (mesh weave not heavy enough) 2. Over spray on frown teeth 3. Ab plates shouldn't have any return edges 4. Left side Ab to Kidney should have zero gap Beautiful job on your build
  15. Sorry to hear brother. I will say this the Anovos black is much easier to crack then the white for some reason, weird I know but both my shoulder covers have cracked yet the white Anovos are perfectly fine
  16. I have agree with Glen here
  17. News to me, but I guess if you pour Jello mix into a chest plate and let it chill then serve, technically it would be like Tupperware
  18. Welcome Chemi
  19. I looped a section of nylon webbing around my bicep to shoulder connecting strap then attached it to the ammo pack via a single snap. It's all about options
  20. Looking good Brit, a bit more filler and sanding and you should be good to go.
