Yes it does, thank you

Beautiful! Excellent job Walter and Jay

haha that's awesome. I should show you a picture of the hair in my shower. I'm going bald over a costume haha

And now you know why I've been so skeptical and critical haha

So to be clear with 4. The picture I outlined the step appears to be wider and thicker (3 layers) at the side closest to the seem then steps down (2, then 1 in layers) and becomes thinner in width, just the opposite of what you built. Which is correct? Sorry

Sorry to hear that Ty. What you're experiencing is exactly why I went with devcon with mixing tip. It's rumored to be a 99% pure blend when leaving the tip. I haven't had a single issue with the stuff. It may be expensive but well worth the sanity. Keep up the great work soldier

Depends on your expectations.

Thanks Paul. Heck I wish you lived next door also, it would be a honor. On another note I'm currently pimping out my TFA, should be done in a week or so, stay tuned

Exactly!

I used scotch brite pads, scratched up the armor but I didn't care were sandies in a desert where we're being sand blasted right?

Use a pair of needle nose vise grips

I believe this PCB is designed to amplify a phone's or MP3 player's audio. There's no volume control and you have to manually plug in a power supply of some sort (not a huge deal), but then you'll need to add wire for the microphones, not to mention I believe you'll have to purchase those separately. And let's not forget about speakers. I've looked at these before, though a great idea they're not very practical for our application, but hey if you like stuff like this have at it. Tony

Thanks Kev For some reason I can't open the link you provided. If you're interested here's my Stormtrooper Hearing Assist sales thread - http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32487-fs-ukswraths-stormtrooper-hearing-assist-system/ Cheers

I'm actually waiting to see if the retaining tape on the forearms will be added to the CRL....

... wait! what?

Or you can add bondo or something similar to the corners to build them up, then sharpen them. Heck there's filler of some sort being used on a good portion of the armor anyways, what's a few more corners. I sharpened my ab boxes a while ago and I'm pretty certain there's areas that are paper thin.

Don't fret, if you have a Dremel or grinder just cut the posts down prior to installing. I had the same problem.

Awesome! I cold help but crack up on some of your responses lol Sometimes I wonder if screen accurate is worth the frustration with some of these enhancements. I'm still a bit confused regarding the bicep maybe some can draw me a picture, I like pictures Staying tuned for more clarification.....

Thank you Paul, my pleasure THT

So I have a couple questions. I'll number them corresponding to the your numbed list as not to make it any more confusing. 1. What do you suggest in the way of material or does it matter? 2. It's my understanding (as discussed during the CRL build) the ab boxes are to look as if they HAVE a seem between the ab. You mentioned using bondo to fill in the gap which would make the two seem as one. Which is accurate? 3. no question/s 4. The section to cut out near the greeblie (ribbed section), to be clear remove the entire ribbed section and replace it with one solid piece. Looking at the pictures you've provided, the upper shows the ribbed section most of us are familiar with and the lower I'm a bit confused on which way to go. In your image the removed section looks filled in with one solid piece that looks to be flush with the outer layer yet, in the screen shot it looks to be recessed, stepped. Which is correct? 5. The belt is shipped with nylon that is the base for the floor mat material. Is the neoprene to be added between floor mat material and the nylon? Or is it either, or? 6. The bottom section of the boxes is almost 5/8" thick. If were to replace it with a chunk of silicone rubber will it have to be black in color because most likely any well prepped paint you put on it won't last more than a few troops if that. Any suggestions on where to get black silicone rubber that color and thickness. 6b. How did you attach the rubber to the front box and belt? 7. To late for me to be uber accurate with this area lol 8. This area your suggesting to notch out is already prone to cracking. Some of us have already reinforced that are to prevent this from happening. Are you suggesting we glue a adhere a piece of steel to that area? In your opinion with this piece of steel help with the cracking issue or contribute to it? 9. No questions Thank you

Well thank you again. THT

Even after all the flack I've given you the last couple days, I am humbled. Thanks Brian

Enjoy!

My first thought was magnets then I recently wiped my discover card because it got too close a magnet, hinges is a good idea also. Actually all you have to do is pull the top portion of the box open and the lower velcro stays intact 75% of the time anyways, I guess that's a decent hinge. Thanks Q. BTW I need to post my mini gun on your thread. Excellent idea.
