Welcome to the AM family. I love my armor.

Yeah, I noticed the Amazon prices were pretty high. But a used one on eBay worked for me considering I wasn't using all the pieces anyway.

I found a couple on eBay US, used. Didn't seem too expensive. Good luck.

I recessed the magnets so everything sits flush.

Sorry, the picture wouldn't load.

Thank you for this thread, it was very helpful to my own poor man's DLT-19. The build-your-own blaster are great. Here's a picture of my recent build.

I just wanted to share what I did with the counter. I glued magnets to a DD counter and the blaster "counter" and it works nicely. I can easily change batteries or toggle between "stun" and "regular" modes

Great advice, thanks for sharing.

Looking great. Nice work.

Looks nice. I'm getting ready to start the same build, thanks for sharing your progress.

I just finished an AM 2.0 build and got approved in March. I'm basically the same size (5' 11", 215 lbs.), and the armor is great. I'm learning the reality of maintaining armor for regular use (they're right, you never really "finish" your build). I wore it at Wonder Con and Celebration non-stop, and it held up pretty well. I did get some cracking on the chest plate, but I heard that's not uncommon. I've learned not to wear it for extended periods (like 7 hours) any more :-). I'd recommend this armor to get you approved and trooping. My first official troop is this Saturday, and I can't wait.

I'm working on an AM 2.0 build now, and there a number of small oddities. I was also at an armor party recently with folks with NE armor, and their kits were very similar to mine.

Everything looks great, I'm sure you'll get final approval. Thanks again.

Mutter, thanks for the great thread. I'm just starting work on an AM 2.0 build (first ever armor), and am running into many of the same issues you are. Your posts are very educational. Thanks again for sharing.
