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?

that's exactly what I'm gonna fix!Looks like your shoulder bells are turning outwards based on that photo. Might need to adjust the attachment to the shoulder strap. Looks like your right shin is rotating too. Almost done!

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 -

I know!! Today's gonna be construction of snap connections. I'll put it on afterwards to see what it looks like on me.Getting closer!
-
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.Try a couple of blobs of superglue. If that doesnt work, and the mic mesh is beyond repair, then you may want to start from scratch and replace both, which is pretty straight forward. All you will need to do is buy a cheap mesh sieve, cut out the meshing, mold it over a AA battery and then install in the mic. Mine did not come with the mesh fitted in the tips, so this was what i did. They dont have any glue, and theyre not budging
It sounds harder to do than it really is, if I can do it, then anyone can!
Let me know how you get on.

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.I'm not sure in terms of the hand guards, but for the mic tips many use CA ( super glue ). Saying that, you may find that once completed they fit really well and dont require any.
Hope this helps

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.You mean between the two ridge parts? Not the end of the world. You could always fill with ABS sludge. Keep in mind the right thigh front will be hidden by the ammo pack.
-
I went ahead and redid it. It wasn't very solid. I'll post a pic once it's done curing.Could you pop a picture of the area up?
