Over 9 years later, but still wanted to give this thread some love. Just built three of these for my HWT (simply left off the last half-size pouch). Simple, effective, and brilliant tutorial!
Yaahh!! So excited to see how it turns out!!
Unfortunately, you're way ahead of me on the armor building path. I haven't settled on a kit to buy yet. So I won't have much tips or tricks to contribute :-/
