I have not tried but I used truck boot liner from Halfords (UK) worked great.
I believe they are similar products.

FYI, the sniper knee rivet has been fixed in the CRLs.

Photobucket broke the internet, its not something wrong with the forum. If you are using Chrome there are some third party extensions that can work around the problem. I'm trying to get images replaced but it is proceeding slowly.

I used nylon for:
- shoulders
- kindey/posterior - with elastic the sides of the posterior kept flaring out and giving me wings
- ab/kidney, left (rivet) side - to keep it cinched tight
- thighs (w/ garter system)
Elastic was used everywhere else for range of motion reasons, and so I can actually get IN my armor.

Welcome future trooper. Have a look at the getting started forum, there are various threads of interested there you may want to read up on.

Anyone tried using Flex Seal instead of Plastidip on lining a helmet? Seems like it might be more durable.
There's also Rustoleum's version:

And yeah it's expensive, the things that make it expensive is all the other stuff: gaskets, boots, gloves, belt, pouches, blaster, neckseal, undersuit, nylon webbing, elastic, velcro, magnets, glues, tools etc etc etc.
PSA: This applies to all costumes, not just FOTK's. Keep it in mind when comparison shopping/pricing things out. An IOC uniform or TB may look cheaper but when you add it all up, it's always twice what you expect.

Congrats Glen! You're well on your way to six-time Centurion, thanks for making all of us look bad.

Coming together nicely. Good job on countersinking those bracket screws... looks even better than the film suits.

Added some stunt/hero clarification, additional contact info, and link to the approved vendor thread.

Good luck buddy. Not that you’ll need it.

So true, 3 costumes in planning stages right now and I was pretty sure I was only ever going to have one (ironically enough a FOTK that still hasn’t shipped!).

Hi Michael, good job getting your build completed.
TD is held in place via friction. If it moves around, either your belt is too loose or the alumin clips beed to be bent tighter to hold it on, or both.
Belt should be level horizontally so where it lays is where it lays, don’t worry about whether it covers the gap or not IMO.
A couple things to keep in mind should you choose to apply for EI/Centurion (and you should, you’re almost there!):
- You’ll need to shim to close up the ab/kidney gap on your sides, there ideally should be little to no gap, Centurion you’ll need no gap
- Top of belt should come up to bottom of lowest button on ab plate
- Drop boxes should be aligned with ends of belt
I’m on my phone so its difficult to post reference images, hope this makes sense without. Good luck on pre-approval but I think you are on the right track!
-
Sounds like you are in good hands, good luck on your TK build and we are more than happy to help. Welcome aboard.

Congratulations. Now time for EIB.

Either should do for Centurion.
