I have a fan at the top of my helmet to push the hot air out. The Balaclava stops my hair from getting sucked into the fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey there Does anyone else worry having the snaps inside your armor eventually create bumps from repeated use? I thought of the following process after seeing some snap posts Take a piece of ABS and mark up a grid with a ruler: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170117/aa1c68202f7f2dc271c20ac7f771804d.jpg Then mark a hex so you can find the middle of each square: Then scratch up both sides for glue adhesion: Next create a base to hold the marked up ABS: Then using a spade big cut out the holes. I used another piece of wood to hold the ABS still. Eventually you have all the circles cut out: Take it back to your table and cut out the squares. I used score-n-snap but scissors are just as good: Glue to the underside of your snap: Most times I used 1 piece but sometimes I needed more. All in all they turned out well and now the snap has a cushion: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have heard of troopers splitting the ab and adding a shim behind the belt. Gives another 2-3 inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Requesting site access for TK17015. Link below: http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=22722&costumeID=124 Thanks!

Is there a shim on the inside? I normally see the magnets over the exterior shim. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some ppl use a strip of foam to keep the arm centered ( and for comfort). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

Well I messed up and drilled 3 holes on BOTH sides of ab plate Trying ABS Paste.. When there are air pockets it means it's too thick? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

Other than remnants from your trimming I have seen ppl use yard sale signs from Home Depot or similar stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

That'll be a great add for troopers in hot climates. You could add a cooling system in there. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

Practicing my ab buttons before painting. The q-tip idea worked great for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats.. You realize you will never hit target practice again [emoji16] 'pew pew!' Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had a similar issue with my calf and used a large clamp to squeeze the calf into a flat shape that then allowed the clamps to get a tight lock on the seam

So I am wondering how you put these on. Do you attach the clip and slide the shin on or attach after. If after, how do you hook it with ( my fat) calf in the way ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you post pics of the inside of the bucket? I'd like to see how the mask is attached. Looks great![emoji88] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Still in progress but I like how these Duct Tape mannequins help with visualization. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I added some foam cushion and an old pillow to help stuff. I also added additional foam at the shoulders since alot of weight will be there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now on to Shingate! I think Ukwraith is correct with placement. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Won't make this one. Still constructing. Guess I'll get the next run. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
