"I really don't have the background to navigate those, so any help or pointing in the right direction for microphones that are compatible with simple speaker systems would be great. I'd rather not have to buy a brand new speaker for this, but if I have to I will." Head on over to my Etsy shop and have a look at my audio systems. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UkswrathsSpeciality?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

That ^^^ Key word here is "cut resistant", that said, if the gloves are too thick you'll have difficulty holding essential tools like your knife, ruler or pencil. It's best if you go to a hardware store in your area and try on different versions. Go grab a ruler and knife and hold them with the gloves on. The gloves are there to prevent you from performing unwanted surgery on yourself but if you can't hold items comfortably then you might be asking for trouble there also. Here's a set from Home Depot for example - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Large-Red-Nitrile-Level-3-Cut-Resistant-Dipped-Work-Gloves-48-22-8932/303635936

Except for the sniper knee, return edges are not required. Return edge gives the armor the illusion of thickness that's all, remove as necessary. Also, if it comes done to it you can even cut out the back as seen here in this reference photo. Regarding the back (opening), I would only remove the flare in the plastic and leave the rest. The muscles in that portion of your leg tend to flex the most so trust me when I say you'll want room to move around in. You can always add fabric foam to stabilize the interior if needed.

Beautiful news Justin

Hey Bill yes ATA is legit. I have a set myself and love it. I also have an ATA (rebuild thread) that has some good information specifically for the ATA. Click the "GO TO" link in my signature below and find my ATA build. Cheers

Now if we only had a SW Celebration to go to

Looks awesome

You should. TRON meets Star Wars

Have I ever mentioned I'm totally envious you having an arcade as a workshop?

Fantastic job David

Hey Chris welcome to the FISD. Look forward to your build thread.

Great job Greg, if I had any advice it would be to remove as much of the return edge around the lower Ab/cod (groin) and posterior plates. These areas will chafe heavily when trooping, as well as it looks more accurate thinned out. That said, if you're very thin in stature then letting it remain will give the armor the illusion of thickness which isn't bad for thinner folks. Keep up the good work

Awesome!
