    I'm actually beginning to wonder if it's just the strain of the plate/snaps on the thin Anovos armor after all, if it goes away.
  2. Harbinger
    The hand plates will, you'll need rubber gloves though. Not nomex.

    Hmm. Well, I would check after the bulk update is supposed to occur and if your affiliation still is incorrect then post here and the DO or someone else with access would have to fix it manually. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
  4. Harbinger
    Do you have the exact same email address for here and the Legion forums? If not that could be why the bulk update is missing you.
  5. Harbinger
    Caps closer to the edges is actually more accurate according to Germain, you could leave those caps on if you wanted.

    If I may add, you'll want to make sure to use actual nylon and not the polyester webbing junk they sell at Jo-Ann's/Michaels, some users here have noted a pinkish discoloration/staining of plastic with it.

    Very strange. FWIW my plates were pre-bent and that didn't seem to make much difference, perhaps the extra plate and glue causes some expansion/contraction issues leading to deformation? My working theory based on your latest post, at least...

    I went ahead and started a new thread for this now that it's spilling into multiple build threads:

    All, I started a new thread on the topic here:

    Seems this would do best as its own topic so as not to derail various build threads: (I've quoted most of the relevant posts for posterity and context.)

    The 'correct' pipe is 2" (actually 60.3mm) UK-spec ABS pipe, which is gray. You can find something similar in the US but it will most likely be black... so you have the choice to import or paint. Testors 1138 is a good match.

    Mine does in fact have warping, but I'm like 90% sure it developed slowly as they weren't there before: The bumps are in pretty much every spot I have a snap plate - some have glue on the metal, some don't, some are recessed more than others, so I don't think those variables affect the outcome much.

    Congratulations.

    Not sure what you mean? Like an in-person inspection?

    Every troop I’ve been to its usually handlers or other troopers helping me in/out of armor, FWIW.

    I put a 1/4” strip of white felt in the front. Seems to help a little.

    Thanks for taking the initiative, I was going to put something together. Now I don’t have to. I’ll likely still have some tips to add myself. I assume technician = handler? I suppose what we call them is a regional thing.

    Pros/Cons, the capped is more durable but harder to repair (no ABS paste option to fill in gaps/oopsies when building), should be more resistant to yellowing, but less flexible and harder to cut/drill. Also shinier/whiter as Steve mentioned.

    The DOs have a backlog from the holiday break, they'll be with you in due time. You haven't been forgotten.
  21. Harbinger
    Nope, this is film accurate, nothing to worry about:
  22. Harbinger
    Congratulations. Look forward to your EI and Centurion applications (hopefully)!

    The canister (assume you have end caps and control panel) is just gray sewer pipe. The clips can be bought right here on the forum:

    That would be a great thread, I'll put that in my idea book (TM). Re: shins, I had the same problem. Some people make stirrups, I ended up using velcro ties to keep the shin/boots where I wanted them.

    Hit up your local Garrison would be my recommendation.
