I was able to head to an armor party this past weekend. It was great, I was able to get all my parts sized, it's pretty much just gluing and strapping I need to do...The sort of sad thing is, all of the "extra" material Mark added I ended up trimming off. We were joking about the fact that I didn't need the Kidney piece as the additions to the ab plate could almost wrap around me completely . . .

Don't quote me on this. A differences of 5mm shouldn't make a huge differences for Centurion acceptance (I could be wrong though). Another option that I have heard is to have the front facing cover strips at 15mm, and have the rear strips larger if that makes sense.

Should be able to just pull it apart slowly, that's the beauty of E600. Just go slow, if you can put a small wedge (ie knife blade) to loosen the glue. I just ripped off my cover strips on my arms as I had to re-glue, I just pulled the coverstrip off slowly and no damage.

What not the topknot version where is the dedication. Looks good.

Looking good, following the thread

So, since the kit came pre-trimmed I started to size the biceps. I'm just wondering how much space I should have in the biceps/arms. If I got by the pre cut lines, there will be about a 1.5 inch gap. See pic below. This is what it looks like on my duct tape manikin. I made sure to measure my arms and the biceps on the manikin and they are both the same size. I taped up the other bicep, but this time I reduced the size so it is a much more snug fit. I had worn this one and still had "full" range of movement with no pinching. I'm just wondering if that 1.5 inch gap is too much space.

Thanks Well this happened today! I really have no idea how Mark gets all the pieces to fit. The box wasn't that big.

I'm I misreading that as a star trek reference... PS It looks AWESOME.

Shaky hands or not that paint job on the teardrops (and other bits) looks great!

O_O that was fast....

Well helmet and holster attachment/details

Take a look in the "Getting Started" section of the forum. There is a thread titled "The various types of armor and where to find them." There is info on how to contacted the vetted sellers around here. IIRC most if not all will extra parts. I would link it but for some reason most of the forum functions don't' seem to work on the computer I'm using.

The work you've done on the bucket looks awesome, it puts dangerous ideas for my wallet into my head for future projects...haha.

It's sort of crazy how 1 website going on can cause so many problems (I'm also talking outside of FISD), especially one that isn't really thought of.

Guess who just got his tracking number! I'm interested to see your bucket with all the mods

Congrats man!

Congrats!! How does it feel to finally be done?

That sounds ominous..Everything okay with the bucket after the attempt?

Will need to clear up some space on photobucket.....

I just got a balance request from Mark...that means soon!

Awesome! Still refreshing my email every 5 minutes lol.

First for the ORG right?

Congrats man!!

lol congrats....still waiting, grumbles about getting trimmed kit. SOOOOOOOOON

Oh sweet thanks Mark.
