Question about movement..
With the arms I have about 80% movement.
I have roughly one finger gap from Armour to my arms with the biceps and forearms on both sides.
is this correct?
-
Ok first up repainted the tube strips...
I wore my Armour for a bit today walking about on my balcony to get a feel and to make adjustments...
Ad to chest plate left side (Facing me) needs adjusting..,,
next adjustments required thighs... when people say Armour bite I have no idea lol after walking about I now know.. lol
More shaping of the thighs are required. at the moment they are to round. Big thighs from years of service ;-) (edit)
hot bath I think A good 2.5 cm give there, currently they are touching as you can see from this pic my idea was to hot bath them and flatten them a bit (edit)
Fronts they stop just above my knee. adjustment so it all lines up. (edit)
Left shin adjustment to line up, under suit required.. shins molded to my weird calf's..
no hooks attached yet.
with the bra hooks and foam the shins do not move...
left left side picture..
to do the cut out piece on the kidney both sides...
Strap on the side top of the kidney to pull the ad part in more..
Right side
kidney cutout required..
white elastic missing from shoulder straps..
forearm adjustment only have one here cause I clued the poppers on my other arm the wrong way round, do not drink and build.. will have to wait 24 hours torture..
I am not happy with the forearms I think i need to trim more of the wrist and then redo the forearms and allow more elastic from the bicep to the forearm for more moment...
checking movement and and dressing issues that might occur..
lots of walking the thighs are killing me, they are rubbing against each other right side hurts more than the left
happy with the shins not moving once I clip the straps on (Bra hooks)
did some climbing on a step was manageable ..
Things to buy or do...
E11
I have a doodpy doo but that takes time I feel like its a journey to make and tradition..
Neck Seal
the next seal I have is good but it feels like i need to have Velcro on the bottom to make it feel flat for me anyways I cant really see if its flat etc
I am thinking I like one with a bigger bib or part of the under suit itself
Undersuit
I need a decent under suit, I have uniglo and my sports under suit at the moment looking like a mine artist.
Fans / Cooling System
OMG you defo need to have fans unless you live in a cold climate (A camel pack would be good or a drinking system of some kind)
Gloves
I have glued my hand guards to my gloves however I am not 100% satisfied, is there anywhere that sells them already glued?
Need to get cotton undergloves due to the sweat..
will await feedback before making any adjustments tomorrow.
slow progress on the DLT-19..

Hi Sorry for the delay...
the belt is from RWA Ross from Isle of Wight, UK the holster is also from Ross.
@Ukswarth used your Anovos TK build thread to help me with the placements and strapping thank-you !!
Hopefully I got just the belt and some painting touchup to do !! and then I be finished ....
need a E11 now..
but for some reason I started to 3D print a DLT 19 lol maybe Napoleon complex..

Hi
I have this KIT and I am 5"7" I did not need to trim anything I did get a bigger kidney plate as I am a fatty
Be careful trimming the Bells its hard to see the cut lines I trimmed to much from mine so had to get another set..
Ross has videos on you tube how to build his kit etc highly recommend
Dan AKA CableGuy has this kit also.
For me I did not use the popper kit.
I went with MrNoStrips
Flexiable Hand Guards and rivets and TD screws and helmetscrews (Just in case)

https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34902-centurion-level-rivet-sets-for-sale-open/
for other strapping I used ukswrath anovos TK build
https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-uswraths-anovos-tk-build-stunt/
You need plenty of decent strong clamps grips, Magnets , lexan scissors, straight edge, sharp knife and sanding block with papers..
Be careful on the kidney piece mine broke at the crease..
other stupid things I did...
trimmed to much from bell.. trimmed ad sides a bit to much as I am a bit fat needed shims or Ross,s Chunky Kidney piece.
Hovi metal mesh cut them round instead of watching Ross Video how to stamp the out looks neater will make a 3D mode for this once I get replacement Mesh
Messed up the stripes on the helmet.. make sure its aligned and the right way and its stuck down properly..
Messed up the thickness of the Helmet lines easy fix to redo..
make sure your ab buttons are not rounded off they should be square.
Belt placement double double check measure twice cut once stuff..
Hovi Tips when painting dont paint the end rings of the Hovi tips just the outside part black
I was obsessing to make things square and aligned etc... its not meant to be!!
Welcome! enjoy building your Kit!!
Hopefully now I finished my travels, I can finish my kit this weekend!

Yeah I actually messed up one bell and trimmed to much left side so i have a spare bell.. i was thinking if I could shim it for ABS practice unless anyone wants it..
-
thanks gmrhodes13 I am going to test tape it on and upload the pics just to make sure.
I had to repair my butt plate and kidney plate so that is all reinforced now and dry so time for another test fitting. Like my Dad said measure twice cut once... so annoying he is right so in my case now... measure multiple times, tape etc and then cut.

Good eye their TheSwede with the trooperbay template...
Will set to stun and paint tonight
-
Frank,
I actually think this was a great idea for you to do this..
With your Money Sacrifice you have tried and tested this (Scammer? Company?)
I hope this gets indexed as hell so no one needs to waste their money on this.
maybe you helped them to close down with your excellent reviews!

Small update
Got my Gloves from trooper bay they are literally thinner Chemical Warfare gloves. how I miss my charcoal lined smock... and doing press ups in the Gas chamber lol
Out comes the rice measure approx same as my hand in a fist..
tape up ready so i can use the rice again
Glued.. used e6000 will see how it goes..
Netx up redoing my tube strips..
Right side i am not sure to paint 16 strips or 15 ...
Left side 15 strips...
Both sides strips will clear the ears so no problem there..
Tube strips are medium Blue, numbering between 9 and 16 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. as per the CRL
do I have to have even amount of tubes either side? or can i go for 15 left and 16 right?
Next up test fitting..
Still working on my Kidney Plate left side made the return edge up the top a bit with the heat gun scary...
made sure my rivets will line up nice and tight, currently tie wraps, the belt is also not positioned to its final location
I wanted to make sure the belt would fit me right will measure ten times and check check check before I do the AB poppers.
wanted to make sure my drop boxes where aligned properly etc
ran around the house a bit to make sure no elastic on the left side ad yet, I want to shape it a bit more so that gap is closed and it fits me without out me trying to force it.
After shaping I am going to reinforce the all around as there are certain areas that want to flex.....
-
Nicec price..
The shins , one looks bigger than the other...
Maybe message the seller and ask if he is a member here?
-
redid the TD..
think the left end cap needs to be shrunk a bit more..

Ok some updates...
Done the Shins..
Shaped and trimmed....
The sniper knee was a bit of a pain I do have another one just in case....
Will glue in the elastic and hooks 3x per shin shaped to fit my weird shins measured with my imperial boots on.
next up shoulder bells..
x4....
I have two sets, I messed up on bell by trimming to much.. so I got a replacement set but the plastic is a bit different color.....
Elastic and popper attached as per Ukswrath tutorial
As you can see the colour is slightly different I got some novus so I hope it will buff up any tips??
Did the forearms and biceps..
return edge removed and shaped and sized for my arms
Thighs..
I also wanted to tidy up the helmet so frown repainted..
I am waiting for masking template and paint from trooperbay before I do the tubes
Belt was a pain to do but after a clean up and polish I hope is ok.
My Chicago screws arrived today not sure to use these or the rivets thru the poppers
Kidney part..
had to shape this quite a bit to bit me. pan of hot water did the trick.
need to do final shaping and then some repair on some thin parts and clean and polish.
shaped the top part to fit me better with the hot water in the pan trick.
Bottom..
only one popper so far measured the second ready
TD..
Used hyper X glue from japan which was horrible...
Cooked the ends for a bit and sanded the edges of the tube so it fits very tight to the tube. needs really good clean and polish.
chest and ab started..
will do the belt fitting and holster fit next.
