Gio from crow props has just sent me pictures of my boots that he made. These are the first pair but look good to me.

Gio from crow props is currently making me a pair from the limited screenshots that were about.

Paints fine. I used 2k paint so it holds up well and most marks buff out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just checking in. My kit cleared just before Christmas. Good to know that with a few mods, the Anovos kit is clearable. unfortunately, even with the reinforcing of the yoke, it’s got a couple of cracks on the return edge. I’ll strengthen with plastic, fill and flash over. Apart from that, all good. Now if only Anovos would ship these out to everyone else.

Mine is 42, maybe 42.5 so it’s gonna be snug!! The problem is the yoke join. As they are pre trimmed there really is no room for adjustment.

It’s not actually the waist. More the chest. Where the front chest piece (with the pills and sticker on) meets the yoke under the arms. I had help and I can close it, but if I slouch when I stand it will start to undo. I’m going to add elastic and snaps to keep it tight.

They’re super small. As they are pre trimmed you have to work with what you get. I’m 6-1 and 32 waist and I would say that any bigger and the kit will require major work. On top of the painting. But they are clearable.

Thanks guys. Had my first kit up today. There’s a few dressing issues. Left bicep, right thigh and knees, but I’m nearly there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly, Anovos have been too busy sending GE helmets so mine still isn’t here. Never mind. Sanotized Creations sold me one. Fitted a hard hat liner for support. Just need to paint inside the helmet black and tidy up hot glue residue. Helmet is almost finished. Need to paint inside the side vents. I was going to cut them out, but this helmet is temporary until Anovos send my proper one. Also need to neaten up a little on the brow. What a pain that was. Armour wise, everything is ready to go. I need to have a kit up at the weekend when someone is here to help. Belt box 2nd from left needs painting again. Something reacted with the paint. Also, centre belt boxes look positioned badly but it must be the angle. They’re centred. I will add a screw here eventually. But at this late stage, I just painted the pip silver. And until Saturday, that’s it. Next step will be a full kit up, gaskets and all and we can go from there. Also, not sure if I mentioned before. But the templates for the ab boxes and the position of the holes are all over the place. Maybe 3-4 mm out on most. I was meant to take photos of how I fitted them but I forgot.

Insane. So you can buy spares just in case you break your non existent armour!!! Fool me once...............

They’re selling replacement armour parts to replace parts on armour that hasn’t shipped yet?

Thanks. Yeah, acrylic works well. I really suck at clear coating. I don’t have a compressor so had to use cans before. I just couldn’t get a great finish with them. The good thing about the 2k spray is that as it has a hardener and is high gloss, no separate clear coat is needed. It’s touch dry in 30 mins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m only going off what the suppliers told me. It looks great up close once dried and polished though. Paint code is TC10 which I assume is a generic code. Failing that, it’s bought in the uk but I’m sure it’s available stateside. It’s 2k so you have to activate a hardener in the can before use. Shake really well but plan your painting. It goes off in the can after 7-8 hours.
