Should I replace the cover strips??? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I am about to start on rear shin closers, I feel the need to ask if this shin pairing is correct. I have the outer shins are longer at bottom than the inner shins. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Ok, I will proceed with making a return edge for my butt plate, thank you for your guidance Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Question... I am not strapping with bracket system. So I don't need return edge on butt plate for brackets. My question, is it ok to just trim off this flashing??? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Thank you for clarifying Joseph, I will be holding off on any adjustments right now. I will have another look once the arms are attached and chest plate and back plate are attached. I will keep that hot water bath in mind. Again thank you for your time and reply!!!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Thank you Sarah, I will move onto strapping Bells and torso, just wasn't sure, thank you for the assurance!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Question, seems to be to much flashing. How do you know how much to trim off of bells??? This is the right side Bell Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

A friend told me to do this, I haven't got to this point yet in my build, but will be doing this!!!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

This information helped me, so I will pass it on to you. WTF is for smaller people, I'm 5'6 170-175 lbs and it fits just right. TM is better for taller people and that is all I know. Hope this helps, at least a little!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Great eye Justjoseph63, nice catch!!!!! I will switch it this morning when I get home. Thank you for your advice. PM coming. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

On the Cod was my first hole i put in my build. I used a solder iron and made small hole and tried fitting split rivet in. Made hole slightly bigger until rivet fit very snug and NOT loose, I was aware of being very careful not to get hole to big. Worked on more fitting with Ab plate and kidney plate and was 3" short on one side. So I added 1 3/4" shims on each side. Needing to be creative, I had to make a return edge for the shims. I made my measurements and placed extra ABS on that utensil holder and placed block of wood on ABS and used a heat gun to soften and create return edge. Now I am very experienced on heat gun. I use a heat gun every night at my work for the past 3 years. I do spot paint repair for an auto manufacturer using enamel water base paint which i have to use heat to bake on paint, not air dry, that is if it is a small enough paint job. Sorry i squirreled... will update later on kidney shim. I am almost to the point of strapping. I moved on getting brave and started setting snaps and found out by damaging the first snap that the snap setter I purchased was not compatible with Tandyleather 24. I made an order and received the correct setter. This is where I am currently on my build. Still need to do calve closures which I will be going screen accurate #3 bra hooks. My goal is going through the Ranks L1, L2, and finally my overall goal of L3 Centurion. I look forward to your suggestions, help, and guidance so I maybe Trooping with the 501st!!!!! I will give better updates now that I have a build thread, thank you again for your time and help!!!!!

started fitting and getting comfortable and moving forward. Didn't move forward until I reached a comfort and confident level which I gained from FISD members. While armor was curing from E-6000, I decided to tackle the o2 canister TD. This would be my very first completed item and boy oh boy did it feel accomplishing!!!!! My goal if possible is to make a move of progress each day, even if it was rubbing E-6000 glue with fingers off from around cover strips from squeeze out. I decide to install inner cover strips as well because I want reinforcements and support on joints.

Of course I had to get it all out a take photo, notice my meow meow curious about something new in the house Started trimming just cutting the extra flashing off and leaving plenty return edge because i was in fear. I apply here the saying, "Less is best". I don't want to buy replacement parts because I trimmed to much off. At this point in my build, i was and is depending HEAVILY on Ukswrath Anovos Build

Thank you Rat for your kind words and encouragement!!!! I am SOO excited for this build and soon putting big smiles on little children's faces while Trooping!!!!! I know the outreach this community has in FISD in pouring out help for us beginners to build an excellent armor. This thread is being made for that fact, your help!!!!! Please know I am greatly thankful for your input and suggestions/help during my/our build!!!!!

Hello FISD!!!!! Been a member since 2015 and finally am able to make a Build Thread. I reached that most highly anticipated day, The BBB Day on October 23rd 2018 . Being new to this, I brought BBB in the house and didn't touch it for 45 min.. I finally built up the courage..

Before painting I wipe down the surface with alcohol for no contamination. Then blow air to make sure no fabric contamination Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Thank you for your quick response, yeah I have contacted 2 suppliers. Absolutely going for Centurion and got to get bubble now, really disappointed in myself for missing this information during my research before of 3 years before ordering my armour and receiving my BBB. Started trimming a few and ready to dremel bucket and ran across that information and was double checking what I understand that I have received the wrong lenses, sure that was my request for flat, so that is my error. Again thank you for troopers helping troopers !!!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Will someone please confirm my question? So the ANH HERO has to have bubble lens? I ordered ANH HERO from WTF and I received flat lenses. I got a really bed feeling about this... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
