Just going through my strapping that Mark sent me - just wanted to confirm I'm using them in the right place - the large ones I am ok with - the thinner two with velcro on the end - is this for shoulder bells to attach to shoulder straps?

Is that Stelmax1985?

Put a card holder in your bucket -

Need to tidy up the edges with a little sand but it's done.

Also what glue is used to glue the strapping?

Before I start to glue strapping - does this fit look right? I am just holding the shoulder bell but just getting an idea of fit -

Ha! Yep I'm not going to get rid of that am I! Will probably put my helmet on backwards when it's finished[emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good Luck mate -

That's great news Mark! So many facepalms. I can reglue them and no one will ever know. Except everyone reading this.

Also just checking the rivet size before I put on the ammo pack on the right leg.

Now this one - I'm losing my mind. I glued up my shins yesterday - looked sweet, felt good, and then I looked at them closely and noticed they felt a little weird. It felt like they were on the wrong legs which seems to be my undoing - I'm not sure if there is a left and a right but can I get some input? I have pulled them apart which means I'll have to sand the melted residue and try and get it looking good with fine grade paper, or I could trim them. I don't want to trim them yet until I get some input on them - I feel like I have a bit of room in them, but if I can get the seam looking good without having to trim them. FACEPALM.

So a couple of posts tonight - first a simple one - any tips on bending the shoulder straps? I don't have a heat gun so was putting them in boiling water to soften them. I noticed them starting to crease a little so I backed off and thought I'd check.

I'd be super interested in this if you have a link? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with the thighs - I have skinny legs so it's been alright - I've had to pull my shins apart as I glued them for the wrong legs(what is it with me and wrong legs???) so I need to do some repairs there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm struggling to keep up! Nice work mate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thigh fronts glued - outside edge over inside edge. Does this look ok before I glue the backs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least it's on the right way😳

Correct. What a nerfherder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Biceps pulled apart and re glued with outside overlapping. Some tidying up and buffing needed but relieved the glue didn't kill them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought I'd do a test fit with the legs - I need to trim some return off top and bottom - thoughts?

Yep - I also undid the rivets on the belt - I'm going to rivet the belt and drop boxes to the ab plate as per spec - it's been two steps forward one step back this week - but I feel I needed to get it done right the first time if I'm going to go for EIB or Centurion - patience and slow and steady is not my strong point.
