  1. Absolutely stellar work. Very clean interior! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  2. Great build, and great pics (which will help me as reference for my own build) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  3. And which itself should be lockable (and locked) with a padlock Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  4. I will go the route of snap-plates made from webbing (as sold by one of the veterans here) because I feel the fact that they're flexible will help them adhere better to the armor if clamped down proberly. I can't imagine ABS plates work well because of the bulge from the back of the snap. Am I on the right track? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  5. I was wondering about the CA glue as well. I suppose most if not all chemical products able to dissolve CA will also attacl the ABS. But iirc freezing will make CA go brittle. I wonder if putting the belt into the freezer over night might make it brittle enough to break easier for prying the caps off. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  6. My kit arrived without tax/VAT invoice so far. Might be it will still come in a few days, but I might just have been lucky. After all, the paper on the box said "plastic toy kit" so maybe that threw them off? When I ordered my boots from Imperial Boots, the vendor accidentaly sent 2 pairs, in 2 boxes, and from China. One slipped past customs and one didn't. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  7. I've been wondering the same thing. I think I'll go with snap plates made from webbing, glued on an additional plate of ABS with a cutout for the head of the snap (so that the "back" of the snap doesn't touch the armor, and the snap-plate lies flat.) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  8. Gotta watch this thread! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  9. I'm also disassembling the helmet to clean it up and plastidip it. I'm striving for a setup like this, eventually, minus the hearing mic setup and with less foam padding, maybe. https://youtu.be/8EBpFHYuv-0 Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  10. Mandatory "YAY! BBB day!" pictures: Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  11. 25% ??? Wow, guess I'm lucky to live in Luxembourg. Max rate is 17% here. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  12. Mine is apparently currently in-flight from Memphis TN to Paris, and since it will ship from there to Luxembourg by Truck (I suppose), it might be delivered tomorrow during the day. Maybe I'll only get a letter from customs a few days later, as I did with my Imperial Boots, where I got the box first and a request to pay import only after the fact.

  13. Yeah, I haven't decided yet, as I don't have my kit yet.The choice of either modifying (covering the holes and strengthening the belt) or replacing (bought on the net or sewn by my mom) is left open until I can actually get to see and feel the one they ship.

  14. Because of these damned 4 Chicago Screws for the holster. If it wasn't for the requirement of there only being 2 (even though there is precedence onscreen for 4 on a Stunt) nobody would complain. I'd just reinforce it on the inside and be happy. But as the CRL is formulated, it's just not approvable, even on lowest level. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  15. Great idea with the molds there! I always preferred the look of the T21 over the DLT. Should I ever want to build one, I'll get back to you. In the meantime, keep us updated with yummy pics please. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  16. Yeah, true. Anyway, I suppose the mold-making process should be straightforward enough, and I'll just get liquid latex like you did. There's actually a sort of wall paint which we call latex-paint over here (though I suppose it's just acrylic) maybe I can add some of that into the mix. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  17. Great idea! I wonder if I can use the handplates from the Anovos kit (which should arrive next month) to make my own molds just like you did, and then cast them in latex as well. I'm thinking of maybe adding white paint to the latex in order to get a better color. Maybe even try casting them in white acrylic sealant (the stuff which comes in a tube which you put into a kind of gun) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  18. It's because they ship from separate locations. I think the armor was shipped from California because it came from China via container ship (I think so, at least) and was boxed right there, whereas the soft parts, which also have to be matched to customer sizing specs (the armor was one size fits all) is packaged and shipped from some other place in the US. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  19. Yes and no. The soft parts are shipped separately in a week or two. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  20. Same. Ordered 17/4. If they shipped earlier than Anovos' previsions (and since some guys in the UShave gottrn theirs already), it should be on the way. If they didn't (which would mean preferential treatment for US customers) it will ship after the 31st. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  21. Yeah, for sanding I'd go with 180-200, maybe even 400 to finish off. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  22. Outstanding videos. Between these ang ukwrath's build, I'll have all the info I'll need to beconfident enough to tackle my Anovos kit. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  23. I was actually thinking about black plastidip as well. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  24. Yeah, I forgot to mention, I'll go with E6000 instead of CA of course. And I'll do some more reading of these boards, as you guys in the US will be further along by the time I will be able to start my build. I've no doubt there will be excellently documented build threads in the next couple of days and weeks. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
  25. Yep, and they're one of the things I'd really like a few opinions from veteran TKs/builders on. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
