Congratulations and welcome to the ranks! Your armor is looking awesome!!

Hi Stefanie, great job with your armor! Perhaps you should shorten the left thigh armor a little bit. It is looking a bit too long and I guess walking is difficult now. Keep up the great work. Cheers Christian

RS Prop Master Self Build Kit?
Novak Dimon replied to Staffa359's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
Hi, AP and RS are both great kits. Especially the RS helmet is replicating all the bumps and irregularities of the surface the original parts had. If you prefere a more idealized look go for AP. You can build both kits up to Centurion without any problems and about trimming: don’t be afraid. It is much easier than you think. Just do it. Cheers Christian -
Helmet mic set up.

Had the same problem with a cheap one. A squadmate is using this type with voice activation without any problem: LINK It’s quite expensive and you have to solder a new plug because it is coming with a connector for professional radio equipment, but it is working perfectly. Cheers Christian -
Hey, congrats to your BBB day! I’m looking forward to see your build! Is it a TK UK kit? And if you have any questions feel free to ask! We will help as much as possible! Cheers Christian

Ripper_L Requesting Pre Approval Review (Anovos)
Novak Dimon replied to Ripper_L's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Looking much better now! -
Hi, some people in Germany had problems with fake E6000 that came from China. The glue reacts with the plastic, creating bumps and warping. I have one spot on my chest Armor where I can see the snap and it’s plate under the Armor if you have the correct lighting conditions. When I first saw it, I took the snap off and the tiny bump disappeared. After glueing it again with less pressure it was better but still there. It is an Anovos Armor and I believe it is because the armor is so thin. It’s still there because you can only see it if you know that it’s there and are lying under my feet. I think using nylon instead of ABS to hold the snaps eliminate the risk of warping. All other snaps of my armor are held by velcro that is glued with E6000 without any issues.

Hi Benjamin, it means that the contours of the shins ist wrong way. You have to swap them to get the right shape. But then the shins open to the outer side but they are supposed to open at the inside. Here is the tutorial you are looking for: Cheers Christian

Hi Rodney, you got a nice kit there. Let us know if you need any assistance. We are happy to help you! What is also helpful is to have a look into the Advanced Tactics Area. There you find a lot of inspiration to make your armor most accurate. Best Regards! Christian

Moin Hans-Jürgen, ich selber habe ABS-Handguards auf Nomex Handschuhen befestigt. Dafür habe ich einen Druckknopf (Oberseite) in ein Stück Klett (die hakelige Seite) genietet. Das Klett hab ich dann auf den Handschuh genäht. In die Handguards habe ich dann das flauschige Klett mit E6000 geklebt in dem die andere Seite vom Druckknopf genietet ist. Ich will mir nochmal Gummi-Handguards besorgen und an die werde ich das Flauschklett dann mit Loctite für Gummi einkleben. Grüße von der Küste! Christian

Armor size issue/mod please help!
Novak Dimon replied to mcgillicuddy's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Hi Steven, I fear there are only two options for you if you want both sides properly closed. 1: Install shims at both sides of your kidney plate to make it bigger. 2: Reduce your waist 4 inches. While working on solution No 2 you can simply extend the three elastic bands on the left and the one at the right side which are holding the armor together. That should be quite easy because RS used split rivets to install the elastic. It will cause in a gap at both sides but it should ok for basic approval. And once your waist is small enough the gaps disappeare and you are good to go for EIB and Centurion. All the best! Christian -
What about No 9 and 10? They are not part of the poll.

Helmet mic set up.
Novak Dimon replied to Mikeyt's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Hi Mike, I you are looking for a microphone for voice amplification I would recommend a good throat microphone. I have tested various types of microphones but the only one that is absolutely immune against feedback or picking up the sound of the audience behind me is the throat mic. No matter how loud the speaker and where you install it your voice is loud and clear without any feedback. The bad thing with this solution: a professional throat mic is not cheap and you might have to change the plugs because the good microphones are for professional radio devices and don´t fit into an Aker or smartphone. But that doesn´t mean that all the other solutions are crap. I´m still trooping with a wireless microphone transmitter/receiver system from time to time. Some adjustments are needed before I can start trooping but it is comfortable to wear with no wires. And you can get one for under 30$. Cheers Christian -
Hi, the shape of your helmet is looking perfectly accurate.
