Took some initial fitting pics since it is easier to see what adjustments need to made with the wife unit wearing it. The big things I have noticed is:
* snap plates on the side should be closer for a tighter fit.
* I am going to need to trim down the butt plate to fit her better.
Any other things I can adjust or redo? Any help is appreciated.

Here is what the belt looks like. Did I cut too much off? Sorry the pics are dark.

Brilliant, I was just reading your adventure with TKUK armor today and was going to ask. Thank you. I am building this one for my wife and was going to use the second one for me but alas the chest doesn't even fit around my neck.

Thank you both for the help. I have finally figured out how they go. I also watched the Trooperbay video on the calves. So, I can start assembling those.
I have also made more progress on the wife's armor (test fitting below) and have another question.
What is the best way to attach the ammo belt to the canvas belt? I have been looking through the threads but cannot locate this.

Need some advice on the calves do I not have these matched correctly or do I need to do a lot of trimming?

Made some progress this weekend. The arms and thighs have been assembled and I have started on the chest and abs. Painting the buttons has been a pain, I have tried the times and cannot get to look neat. I will keep trying.

It has been a while since I posted. I have finished bucket number 1 and started on number 2. I am not really happy with the work on the first one but did learn a lot.

So, I have a question on the Mic tips. The directions I have say to use clear silicone to attach to the bucket. That area is a cup so the silicone doesn't work because there is not enough area to attach the Mic. What do you use? I have seen some mics designed to attach with a screw.

Plasti-dip completed. Can said it would take 4 hours to dry, but with a heat gun it took 10 minutes.

Tapped off and ready for plasti-dip.

Thank you that helps a lot.If you will notice on the below image the screw holes end up almost vertically and the angle of the lower half of the ear angles backwards
If looking at the helmet from the back as you wear wearing it, your image the one on the left is the left ear and one on the right is the right ear.\
13 tube stripes is optimal but you can have less or more, from the CRL:
Tube stripes are medium blue, should be 13 per side, but can be 9 and 16 per side with the curve bends extending backwards.

So I have two questions. First, my directions say there is a left and right ear and that they are correct when facing to the back. What does that mean?
Second the crtl says there are to be 13 stripes and I am counting 14 so I would just cut one stripe off correct?

Well my BBB has arrived with my and my wife's armor. This will be our first build. Since we are both very different sizes I am going to have a lot of questions.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I will check out the AP and RT-MOD for armor.

Hi there,
I'm Jason from Northern CA. I am currently a TB and am finishing my TS. So, I was looking to start researching for a new kit soon. I will be scouting around the site and will have lots of questions. I am a big guy (6'2" and 340 lbs). Being big makes it hard to create the correct fit and appearance when it comes to the armor. I also struggle finding shoes/boots. So, I will be searching to see if the armor is adaptable for a larger trooper.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Armor and bucket color not matching.

Hello, I was able to purchase an Anovos HWT armor over the weekend. Which I am super excited about. However my bucket is newer and a brighter white while the armor is an older off white. What is the best process to get them to match?
