I'm also getting a TD sometime this week. And then I need to get my ammo pack on. That's the tricky part. Any ways on how to affix it to the knee? I know there's the split rivet way but, is there any other way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that's exactly what I'm gonna fix! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a little test run yesterday for a friends wedding. I need to glue a strap and make the shoulder connection more reinforced. I was able to sit in my armor with no problem. And I definitely need a baclava
-
PROGRESS!!!!
-
together.
-
right forearm and gloves are done!!!
-
shoulder with bicep. Gotta make the hooks. Anyone know the dimensions the hook should be?
-
Fixed the ears!!! WOOHOO!!!
-
-
I know!! Today's gonna be construction of snap connections. I'll put it on afterwards to see what it looks like on me.
-
so far these are curing.
-
Elastic strips for snaps have been cut and will be install today as well as made.
-
I had to reglue one of my forearms. While they were curing, the sides didn't butt up so there was a gap too big for my liking. It's now fixed and I've also glued the snap plates to my kidney. My legs should be done soon. Any suggestions on how long the straps should be between the snaps?
-
Snap plates have been assembled! Hoping to have them installed by weeks end.
-
Alright, so I got home today and checked my belt. I happened to glue one of my forearm halves backwards. I got a huge laugh at it. I was in a rush to leave the house but wanted to get something curing before getting out. I'll be on the fix this week and reverse the situation.
-
I'll try that once I get home Sunday night.

I bought my mic tips pre built from Keith here and I went to install them in my bucket and pushed on the mesh and it detached from the mic tip. I think it may be too loose to set it inside the tip and just let it sit there. One won't budge and the other won't stay put.
-
Sorry for lack of pictures on my build. I'll be sure to post them on Monday to show my work.
-
One shin is 95% complete. The other needs a cover strip. Both thighs need outer cover strips on front and back. My belt is 100% complete(YES!!!) my arms are curing over the weekend. Anyone have any tips for gluing mesh for mic tips? Also, can I use E6000 for my hand guards?
-
Xbox one here! I mainly R6: siege or destiny. I have a lot of games but rarely play them. Battlefront gets neglected often.
-
that's exactly what I thought as well.
-
I went ahead and redid it. It wasn't very solid. I'll post a pic once it's done curing.
-
I have a very minimal gap in the thigh armor. It's about 2-3mm wide and at the bottom of the thigh armor. Should I reglue it? Or is it passable?
