Also have fixed most of my strapping my back armour sits great butt plate doesn’t move now and sits flush.

 

 

I have also fixed the front but am still going to tighten it more so it sits better on me.

 

 

I’ve got to tighten one of my drop boxes but other then that need to add some strapping to my shins to keep them straight when wearing it especially my sniper knee.

Took off the shims today to stop me from wearing it. Don’t some small modifications current the butt plate into the right shape and removing the return edge around my back plate

Come to a point I’ve decided I’m going to lose weight instead of try shims. I might try shims if I feel motivated to try.

Think this is the best decision for me to make due to me adding level 3 rivets and the snap to my ab armour making me have to hit that quality for my approval. I don’t think I can achieve this at my weight at all.

I have bought rubber gloves and latex hand guards to go for EIB or Centurion after I lose the weight also have a pre-made helmet (AM helmet) coming so I won’t need to worry about my ears anymore.

Great work Nada, don't give up, your armor is looking good, you just need to address those small details you already know, be patient, work on your armor whenever y5pu can, remember, your studies are important.

I am just wanted to get my thighs out of the way so I know I don’t have anything to do on my armour till my HWT backpack comes with the ABS for my new shims. As well as my new helmet both getting them from David Conklin who I got my kit off. Also bought the latex hand guards, rubber gloves and a helmet bag so I have everything just have to wait now

I would trim an arch on the front of each shin, so that the shin sits closer to your boot.
 

This was with my old shins I will see if it’s needed after my reconstruction

Full suit up today (HWT) but the thighs and that look way better.

 

Before the main issue yes these are still my old shims that are falling apart still haven’t got the new abs. 

 

Issues I have found is my sniper knee shin likes to move around a lot, Butt plate separates to much in some places going to fully redo its strapping. Any issues you find please point them out.

Thigh resizing has been done and this is how it looks this is a size compassion between the size of my thighs.

I have moved in back into university. So my build will continue but at a slower rate. I have tried to work on my helmet more but ended up ruining my ears I don't believe I can get my helmet to standards by myself. I am planning to buy a pre-built but keep my original helmet to work on it over time after my build maybe for a present for my dad. Hopefully over the next week or so I will receive my backpack with ABS that matches my Armour. I am also resizing my thighs so they look a lot better they are pretty large after trimming working on this ATM. I have also looked into @husky68 build thread for his ab and kidney plate strapping. It is an amazing way of doing it and this might be the best for me after a hot water bath on my kidney armour.

Putting this build on hold to further notice.

You can use a hot water bath, some have had success with that.

 

For adding tabs behind it could be as simple as adding some rectangles of scrap ABS or plastic sign, add two on one side and two on the other side but stagger those then they will interlock. 

 

 

 

 

 

This might work! Thanks for that. This might make it sit a lot better and keep it from flaring out. Should be the last thing I would need to do for my shim.

A little heat to curve them or some even use tabs behind which hold the sides in. 

 

 

I am a little scared to try to curve any of my armor due to me not having access to stuff to do it and damaging my armor in the processs. What tabs to you suggest?

[ANH TK Stunt AM Build Nada]

Really hating shims atm for my torso just makes so many problems how they naturally sit:



How they sit in tucked in (doesn’t work half the time due to weight lose)

Shins update put the Velcro on today:

[ANH TK Stunt AM Build Nada]

So after today I will have to resize and cut the shins so they fit well around my ankles and shin, work on my helmet more if needed, clean up ab buttons and test my new shoulder strap locations so they sit more in the middle of the back armour.

I feel like so far I have fixed most of the issues that were present in my last approval photos and other suggestions from the last. I will be trying to do another pre-approval photo take after I have fixed my strapping.

Any more suggestions to improve are always welcome

[Story behind your nickname]

So in the wonderful days of my childhood minecraft came out I’m 20 so was when I was young I got suggested Nada469. Really close to my real name Nadas take on letter off easy and completely different meaning and no connection.

If you want a story for my real name being Nadas, a unique one named after a skater name Natas now you see why there is a d there

Did a full armour put on with the shims this is how it looks.

 

Strapping on one side of my chest plate needs to be replaced what is making one side go up more then the other.

We build armor to look best but remember that if you plan to troop it needs to be very functional. Tucking in might not be a working solution.

Although whatever works for you and can be approved for basic is fine too.

I understand that I’m trying to lose weight atm to get rid of this shim but for the moment it looks like that or like this
It makes a huge difference to how it looks and I can walk in it fine it doesn’t pop out easily


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[ANH TK Stunt AM Build Nada]

I have managed to get it to look like this by tucking in the tops of the shims under the ab plate. Does this look good?

New strapping not sure I can get it any better l. Don’t know really how to get the sides to not flare out due to my waist
