Way to go, Sean! Great job representing Dirty Jersey and the NER with a spectacular clean armor build! Congratulations, brother and I hope to see it soon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. Page one under the original post may be best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tony, seriously between this thread and the helmet interior setup, I'm full. These are the best two I've seen so far. Lots of good stuff but these two are tops. Kudos, brother and thank you for your ingenuity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That'll be like a million times more convenient. I like it already. Looking forward to the final funny papers on this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This sucks and some people have absolutely no shame. Sorry, dude. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Auto body paint? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks fantastic! I may have gone for chroming it versus painting because of the paint chipping or flaking but I would do the paint if it proves to hold up to the repeated abuse of trooping. Please keep us posted as time goes by on how it holds up! Again, this really does look fantastic, man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. Not want. Need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I'm sold. I love those things! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the bag of gummy bears for size reference? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are other ways to ensure safety standards and keeping it two rivets at sale. A simple narrow strip of abs sewn into the belt behind where the holster would hang is a trick lots of people use. Like I said, the people there aren't stupid. It just seems that some things are being overlooked that shouldn't be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ANOVOS should know better. They should've made it with 2 rivets and sent another two with the kit so it can be modified for hero advising the customer of the possibility of ruining the belt with repeated holstering. This is just an asinine issue that should've been caught on the manufacturing level. But that's just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is that reflective paint or chrome plating? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's just cool, dude. Awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Line up a series of pics side by side of lids by various makers with that one and pick it apart. I don't think it looks bad. Maybe because you don't know who the maker is, you're trying to find something wrong with it to justify a dislike of it. I don't know about anyone else here, but I myself look simply for quality and accuracy. I couldn't care less if the helmet came from AP, AM, RS or Fred freaking Flintsone down the road. Quality and accuracy, in the end are all that matters, no? Besides, who cares if you like it? It's something you decide on your own.... Hell, I got caught listening to Tom Jones What's New Pussycat going through the toll plaza a few days ago. I happen to be one of 6 people who listen to it willingly lol. If it's not approvable, put it on a shelf and look at it. I wouldn't bin it. If you do, send it my way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holy crap you're right! Thanks man. I tried the acorn nuts but I didn't like them. I cut them down a little more and put the rubber tips on and it worked. Thanks for the ideas guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I personally started with the shins because the measurements are easy in the front then went to the arms. There are no stupid questions here so ask away and if you ever have a single doubt of what or where to cut, stop and ask first. Could save you a lot of headache. A lot of people here have a lot of experience in builds and they also have a lot of silly sounding but very effective ways of doing things. One thing I can't stress enough is patience. Take your time. Go slowly, trim carefully and measure several times and check repeatedly before cutting. Good luck with your build! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now I'm even more curious about what this hybrid looks like! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I noticed this on my kit. I thought I did something wrong. Not to hijack the thread but is there anything I can do to fix this? Should I trim the front of the cap or drill new holes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a new set of black thermals for the cold weather. They were a bit on the warm side and I ended up sweating a little last night but I'm sure that they'll be better suited for weather that is a bit colder. Aside from some minor bunching in the elbows, they worked out perfectly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you guys! Never thought of the acorn nuts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
