I got TIRED of the inside screws of my bucket messing with my balaclava....i know NO ONE SEES the inside, but I have had some trouble. I could have cut them but it would make the sharper.... What to do ??? [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m actually taking it easy for right now. Work has me quite busy !!! I’m still IMPROVING my armor [emoji817] satisfaction. I’m finishing my lenses. Then I need to work on improving my thighs, then my shoulder bridges. I finally finished my Husky and I am 95% satisfied with the outcome. We are going to our 1st of many hospital troops tomorrow !

So here is my CENTURION level Husky Bin ... READY FOR TROOPING !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I then decided to keep my Husky drawer so I had to move everything 3” to the left in order for the lid could close. I left the right side empty on purpose: 1). So my lid can close. 2). I want to start putting pix of my troops, or decorative Star Wars stickers...

I decided to go to the dollar store and picked up an all purpose utility box. I can store my gloves, hand plates, & balaclava !!! (Or any small misc items) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Up Next is to screw on the TD holder ... Now to place the TD ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I secure my E-11 with the double sided Velcro. I think it looks AWESOME ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I screwed the main panel to the top of my HUSKY lid with the red screws. I also aligned my blaster holders . What I also installed was the length of 10” double sided Velcro to hold my E-11. I did that on each side. [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I then moved on to spray painting the main panel red I left it for like 2 hours outside in the Texas sun to COMPLETELY dry !!! (Please note I had to “ball park” by eyesight what I wanted my lid to have and make room for it ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I then spray painted the 9/16 hexagon screws red & my 1” aluminum TD & E-11 holders black (I had left over aluminum from making my TD clips ). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let’s start with the lid now.... I went to Lowe’s an got a 2’x4’ piece of paneling for like $6 a good investment to use as the lid panel . I cut and measured..... and cut to length ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I FORGOT to mention.... Im ONLY 1/2 way done with my bin ..... I cannot wait to reveal the finished product !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I put EVERYTHING in its place.... VOILA !!! .... We managed to upgrade our Husky Bin to protect our armor !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I then get 1” foam and cut it 31”x16” ( for the bottom piece ) I cut felt piece 2” lager on each side = 35”x20”. I wrap it on the foam with the red felt, but manage to pin it only. You can glue it or Velcro it... I will just keep it pinned for now. EASY ACCESS for WASHING... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could have just SUPER GLUED the silver snap to the wall of the bin, but I decided to glue it to spare abs piece, that way the abs has MORE SURFACE to be attached to the wall = better SECUREMENT OF SNAP.... I did this 18 evenly spaced times. 6 on the sides (2xs) & 3 on the edges (2xs) around the inside of my bin.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was afraid the Clorox would make abs brittle ? [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make sure u sand cut edges REAL SMOOTH !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tony, is there a Centurion level Legacy TK ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

YES , w/o a doubt !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice STEP BY STEP build THREAD... I’m excited for u . I hope u take ur time and cannot wait to see u troop in it !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I place 3 snaps on the sides & 6 on the longer sides= 18 total snaps (36 total counting male and females) I was going to use Velcro to attach the sides.... but snaps are more secure. You must have a detachable liner on your bin, for EASY ACCESS to snap off and WASH FELT , you don’t want to store your armor and FORGET to unload and ending up smelling like gym shorts & sweat [emoji1417][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I strongly recommend sew the following way: First, Sew Front & side pieces, Second, sew Back & side ... It is now that you can put sides into the bin and measure sections PRIOR to pinning and sewing. Sort of like a TEST RUN . TRUST ME, it will look beautiful once you are done [emoji736] !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
