  1. I saw something on a post somewhere on here with a pic of an M38 that had a 2 on the side and a reply saying that it's a shame it's not a 3 because that's what was used in the film... I've looked through so many posts on here chances of finding it again are slim, sorry... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  2. They're only 5v fans with 600mAh rechargables, will test them and see how they go...I also have the Anker astro pro 2 but I'd like to avoid wires going from my chest into my bucket... It's a fluid build and I'll see what works best... I like to have multiple options... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  3. You should fully charge it and leave it running to see... I'm thinking of running 2 off a 9v battery (x2 as I have 4 (2 front pointing up 2 back pointing down for maximum airflow)) I recommend using the foam behind as it will dampen if not eliminate the vibration... As for your switches you may be able to use these... http://ebay.co.uk/itm/7-x-7mm-PCB-Tactile-Push-Button-Switch-Self-Latching-6-Pin-DIP-UK-SELLER-S23-/111872752292 Mounting may be tricky though... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  4. I'd say it would depend on the particular garrison whether or not it would pass basic, I doubt very much it would pass for the UKG as basic for that is pretty much EIB for any other garrison... I'll be honest, I have one of these kits (still in box) (bought last year before I knew better) I can post detailed pics possibly tomorrow when I get home, it does look pretty nasty tbh... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  5. Nice job on the fans, have you run them constantly to get a run time with that battery? Curious to know... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  6. I'll do a run test at the weekend with rechargeable Panasonic batteries... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  7. Mine is pretty much obvious, I went AWOL (absent without leave for those that don't know) from the army but I had genuine reasons for it, to protect my mum from my off the rails brother... it stuck but I don't mind I've been called a lot worse and I'm glad they never stuck... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  8. Only thing I would say about this apart from outstanding is the 1 on the side, more accurate if it was a 3... I know it's just a but pernickety but I'm like that, sorry [emoji30] the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  9. Great idea and it's made me buy one for my bin but I'm not a fan of the star wars branding, so I went for this one... --------------- the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    At present I couldn't sit down and bend my legs with just the thighs on as the go past my knees that's how long they are (or short my thighs are)... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    Dunno about the boot thing, there is a video showing how to put rs gear on and the boots go last... but then again he can bend his legs... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    The construction quality and the material quality is amazing, all smooth all put together well so I'm pleased overall, just need to sort the thighs and its good to go... Easier to put on than I thought, can do it in less than 10 mins although I had to put the boots on before the shins as bending my legs to put the boots on the way it is currently is just not possible... I've emailed them to inform them of the problem and am awaiting a response... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
  13. OK after spending 3 hrs outside today in my armour I now retract my statement of fans aren't needed I was sweating likens pig... lenses never misted but it was just got... Glad I already have 4 of them, taking my bucket in the truck with me this week and will install them... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    Not sure yet I'll see what they suggest I do, it's a 360 mole round trip to go back again... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    Excuse me? I've not attacked them at all! Just stated that the thighs are too long which is correct... I can't get in touch with them till Monday but people knew I was collecting it today so I posted... Think your accusation of attacking them is unfounded... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    5' 7"... it's definitely the thighs causing the problems, when I picked it up I was told if there were any issues to contact them but that'll have to wait till Monday now I guess... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    You can see here that there's no gap between the thighs shins and but plate, walking was possible but very difficult, the step on the rear shot I had to lift my leg sideways to get up it... I realise the shins were not fastened at the back and the thigh ammo pack is inside the shins but the shins pushes against the thigh if it's on right... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    Nah didn't try it on, I wasn't there long just collected it had a very quick gab and headed to see some friends to show it off... Spent a few hours wandering round with two friends and was very happy with people's reactions but the thighs definitely need fixing, I could barely step up onto a bus with the floor lowered... as I said before they touch the but plate and the top of the shins so it looks like I'm going to have to trim about 2 inches off the top especially the back... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...

    I even gave extra measurements and told them I have short legs for my height... They rub on the shins and the but plate at the same time... the force? oh I'll use the force, bring me a hammer...
