Like everyone is suggesting time/patience is the key believe me it pays off in the long run, check out the centurion submissions there are quite a few for RS including mine, that will give a good overview for strap and bracket placement and help you find other build threads to review. If you haven't already considered it shoot for centurion yourself. When I can get on my laptop will try and number the straps for you. The plastic bits for your gloves you are holding are now not required as centurion level gloves came with the strapping pack from RS

now just have to do final clean, polish, check and pack and wait for next weekend ready to roll out

both sides now stuck down elastics holding well, foam pads giving a bit of support also and cutting down on the little bit of vibration rattle i had just to finish off stuck mic receiver in place with some standard Velcro

Looking good Brian , not submission related mate just passing on a pearl of wisdom pointed out to me. Add some felt or the fluffy stuff from Velcro to the clips on your TD will save marking up your back kidney plate as you suit up

Now doing fitment of Tramp unit, used some leftover helmet adding to help with positioning and stuck in place then checked alignment then made 2 inch elastic strap glued to chest piece with a supporting off cut over the top once this has cured will double check total length of elastic required

First Major troop fast approaching, been working on some minor upgrades re done all the padding in my bucket and finally installed the fans

Nice to see your aiming for centurion from the start, honestly it will make things easier in the long run

i used Humbrol Enamel #5 Admiralty grey, spent quite a while with cotton buds and thinners removing all the Anovos over spray first, then went for the re paint adding the small teeth at the ends they missed

Congratulations

Nice looking armour mate, you will probably get asked for better shots of your TD and close up of riverts on your knee ammo box<br><br> Whoops you already got the knee ammo box in

MY Bin is now ready for action thinking about starting a Garrison logo decal swap thread to help continue the coverage theme ------------

Done

Congrats and well done mate

well done mate, see you at centurion very soon I expect

it looks like you might be taking a bit much off the inner fore arm top return ??, but have a look in the build forum there are quite a few rs builds along with mine to aid you Crickets especially is very well documented and detailed

Hi Ruben, first thing have you got a build thread going yet it would be a more open forum for people to view comment and advise going forward, have you touched base with your local garrison ??

check out the electronics section in the armory most systems and set ups are covered in there, everyone seems to have their own personal preference myself i use TRamp good system and simple set up

Alright Joachim, as always nice set of RS. just handing over a few observations that were also pointed out to me on my journey. looks like your shoulder bell straps could be shortened just to pull them in a bit, white paint needs to come off cod piece rivet and i am very surprised to see what looks like allen head bolts on your TD from a commission build ??, these will probably need to be swapped out for dome head screws again painted black. but i am sure more experienced troopers will clarify these points. Good luck with your application mate

have you followed up again since SWCO i know its a pain but would just keep pushing now

Get yourself down sports direct sandico base layers ----------- They have leggings as well bit of acetone and elbow grease will,take the labels off

nice looking Armour , just one thing i believe your TD screw heads need to be painted black

picked this up last week the above mentioned 113 L fatmax fits in boot of my focus with parcel shelf still in place 91*51*43, I have RS which as stated is riveted also so some clever packing main amour and limbs fits, just sourcing separate bag for my bucket -----------

looking good mate, nothing to do with submission but i would add some felt strips to the metal clips on your TD last thing you want to do is start scratching up your Armour after all the good work

no real issues throughout my build normally quite responsive and helpful, like PBrimer said they may have had a lot on with SWCO have you got a commission or self build ??

can you post some pictures ?? with my shins although a self build i slightly increased the diameter of the holes and just opened out the hook slightly and everything seems to be holding fine
