  7. I think your brow looks great but if you decide to remove the rivets here is a great walk through: Removing rivets Like you found out already, the drill bit will heat up the rivet, if you spend to much time drilling you will just melt the entire size of the rivet. Use a pair of pliers on the rounded head of the rivet to hold it steady and drill, use a sharp bit and only drill for 2 seconds, then wait 5, then 2 seconds, then wait 5, this way it doesn't heat up to much. It really should only take 2 seconds to cut it back just enough to get it through. You might use a pair of cutters to cut the back off as much as possible, less for the drill to have to get through. I grab the back with pliers and squeeze, then twist, takes the head off and I only have to drill for one second to get it clean past the washer so it can come out. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/20913-Removing-rivets/page__view__findpost__p__258390

  12. Much appreciated Jason - your camaraderie and friendship are absolute gold mate. I look forward to watching and being there for that build when you get the go. Considering you like that hot sand environment you're one of the coolest Sandy's I know [emoji106][emoji6] cheers brother!

  17. Slightly dampen the q-tip before using - I used my tongue on the q-tip before dabbing it into a small amount of paint thinner to remove excess paint - hope that helps mate
  18. Owwwie - not a pleasant feeling indeed and hope you're feeling better again soon.
  19. Awesome work mate!
  20. Music to my ears my friend
  21. Each trooper is different depending on their size - it's recommended to have approximately 1/2" between your body and the armor - then double check reference photos. Here's another thread to help along mate - it's another TonyTV thread that I found priceless during my build (plus it's short too so you can bounce back and forth more easily) ukswrath's AM 1.0, ATA bucket build http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/31920-ukswrath%27s-AM-1%2E0%2C-ATA-bucket-build
  22. That's an amazing story! Many congratulations to you TK - 28401 (fist bump)!
  23. Finally got a chance to caught up on your thread - and now I really can't wait to get my bucket from TM. Following along and pardon the drooling over your new armor - can't wait to watch the rest!
