  1. I’ve been working on this on and off now for about a year. I’ve tested it at several troops and it’s working well. So now it’s time to show you what I've got! ‬It’s basically a soundboard on your iPhone controlled by unlimited bluetooth buttons. I've created a video below showing how you might use it as a sound board.

     

    I'm using the MiCom template which I bought along with the MiCom sound rig, which is a great product in itself! Please note you would have to buy the template from them directly or make your own template. This is an example of my App using it only.

     

     

    I've left the details of how to set up the app on your phone off this post for now, as you only really need to see it if you want to take part in beta testing it. In which I can send them on to you.

     

    If you are interested in testing it and you have an iPhone 5 or later, PM your name and email and I’ll send you a link to install the app on your phone. The App comes empty and you'd have to add your own SFX from your music library.

     

    You’ll also need a flic v1 which I can sell you at a discount while my stocks last or you can order via this link. (FYI It's an affiliate link any support much appreciated.) I'll have support for flic v2 some point next year.

     

    I have 8 spots left right now.

    I'll add more updates on this thread once I get some feedback, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

  2. Your trim lines are all wrong. You do not want to mark off an equal amount all the way around the armour. You just want to take off the length/height - not the girth/sides which makes you lose the original shape, eventually. I have seen it done here a thousand times when people trim down parts. To make it easy to explain, imagine you wanted to trim down a simple box shape, you would just trim the top to make it shorter. You would not trim the sides as well. Does that make sense? That is why you would lose the notch by trimming the sides.

    Anyone reading this and hoping to trim their thighs watch out. I completely ruined the shape of mine by trimming an equal amount off all the way around the top. I ended up getting some new ones. I’m not sure the best way to do it although troop master’s technique seems a better approach than what I did but I can’t say for sure. Just be careful whatever approach you take.

     

    Good luck with your build! I’m surprised you need to trim them with your height. Maybe you have a long torso?

     

     

  3. Just wanted to get your opinion on strapping material as I have heard two different approaches. Should the material that holds the armour together (the back plate and kidney for example) be nylon webbing or black elastic? I thought nylon webbing but I have heard people say elastic for flexibility. The worry I have is elastic my have too much give and leave extra space between the armour.

  4. The pipe is 7" long but with the caps on it's a bit over 8" as it doesn't fit into the recess of the caps. But it's overall length that matters.

     

    Here's my plan. Gonna trim 5mm off each cap (by sanding?) then 10mm off the control panel to bring it down to 120mm.

     

    That increases the gap by 10mm on each side. So I trim the pipe by 20mm. Brings the overall length to 190mm with caps on. Gaps will be back to about 15mm each side.

     

    Sound good?

  5. Neck seal arrived from Darman. Very nice. Have bought under suit from Amazon. Not sure if it's correct material but it's black so should be ok.

    Still coating helmet with plasti dip. This is going to be a slow build! Difficult to find time with a full time job and kids.

     

    Hope to attend local armor party in April. That should speed things up a bit.
