  1. I also put a very thin square of plastic over the snap. When you want to unsnap them your finger gets under the plastic and the snap pops right off. I only did it in snaps I know I had to undo all the time. It saves from pulling on the elastic which pulls it away from the snap going through it.

    I have also done the same in 90% of my strapping as well.

  2. I should just go sandy then! lol I've still not figured it out, but as soon as I can I'll post it! I'm glad I'm not alone though! I get them in weird places, like the outside of the butt plate. My under suit never touches that part either. Maybe I sat it on top of the suit at some point, but I really don't think I've ever done that. 

     

    Life is better on the dirty side  :duim:  lol.. During my build before the conversion i did find blue marks on the armor in random places too. but a quick polish took them right off.. I don't wear a traditional body suit either im wearing UA Cool Gear compression, so that eliminates the body suit cause...  :smiley-sw013:

  3. I have a thought, when the armor was strapped the bells were kept close to the bridges for centurion. but if we were to modify the length of the biceps / shoulder strapping(minimize overlap) it may alleviate the pull on the bridges.. 

     

    I have also seen some attach the bottom of the bridges to the chest/back strap to solve this issue..   :smiley-sw013:

  4. Good to know, we may well be picking your brains when the time comes if that's ok :)

     

    Absolutely, do a lot of research by looking at other build threads, you will find they are a massive help. Another thing to remember is there is no such thing as a stupid question, so as away members of the FISD & other detachments are awesome and will get you the answer you require  :duim:

     

    A tip.. is to build the armor to the centurion standard, will make the detachment progression a lot easier.

  5. Cheers Chris :) She's only 5'4" but she is... ahem... "fuller chested". I believe she's got an email out to Mark now.

     

    Paul,

     

    I just built a AP kit for a fellow female trooper and the fit is quite good, AP is the way to go at 5'4" for sure. Mark does make a nice armor..
