Hi Matt, In order to continue with your review, I would need you to do me a favor. Please add the following additional photos. 1- Left side of your Ab/kidney section to see the 3 rivets location (no need to suit up). 2- Complete Ab belt 3- Thermal Detonator showing the clips both screws 4- Interior side of your thigh ammo pack to see the correct rivet type. both sides - Something like bellow examples with better resolution of course. . Thank you sir.

Hi Matt, great to see your EIB submission. I'm the DO that will be doing your review. I'm working on it from now.

Well done !! Keep it up

Hi Jeffrey, welcome aboard and hope you receive your armor soon. Take a look to this threads for F11-D Looking forward for your BBB day. Good luck

This thread could be useful, take a read please.

Hi Maria, Welcome to FISD. According to the CRL for ANH HERO TK, for basic level you can use flat or bubble lenses., for higher levels, of course, we would like you to aim for higher level of certification CRL BAsic Level Lenses may be flat or bubble, green or smoke, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. CRL EIB AND CENTURION LEVEL Lenses are green bubble or smoke bubble only. When you buy a kit (for helmet only or complete armor), the armorer usually include the lenses . Another option I have used is to buy an acrylic sheet and trim to give the shape for the lenses. https://www.trooperbay.com/collections/lens-material or buy the bubble lenses https://www.ebay.com/itm/144455574816?hash=item21a2392520:g:EsoAAOSwjjpbGBy- Bellow a couple of methods for mounting lenses good luck with your project.

hi Jennifer , you're going the right path with your build keep it up . As you told, trim the inner lien and make the necessary adjustments later . cutting less is better than adding plastic later One tip, I always do with my builds is, before trimming, to mark the cut line with a pencil. Remember, measure twice, cut and glue just once.

Welcome aboard Russ. Good luck with your build. ! We are here to help.

Congratulations Jonathan, well done!!

Awesome.

ah ok, language barrier issue here. I have seen this Ab/kidney connection mod, perhaps could be useful to you. and this one

Hi Steve, that straps/ buckle system looks fantastic. Regarding your snaping issue, if I understood correctly, it looks like your right thigh is out a bit. If you rotate it in a bit and move the strap too (if it's not sew in) this could do the trick. In my case, I use a leather belt to have more support and the straps are attached making a loop so I can move them as needed. Something like the image bellow.

Welcome Aboard Chris, looking forward for your BBB day !

Don't be disappointed Chris, this is a learning process . I had the same issue with my first build. Extreme problems, extreme solutions. What I did, not only for biceps but for forearms and thighs as well , was to use a wood piece to ensure a firm and plain surface inside and outside like a sandwich and clamps, clamps . see bellow let dry for 48 hours.

In my case I use fans inside my helmet and this allow me to troop for more time, but generally avoiding the direct sunlight . The heat haven't afecte the shape or melted the plastic , but continuous sunlight expose would affect the color (yellowing the armor)

Thank you Sir!

Thank you Arthur!

looking good!

Hi Gerald, What I would suggest is to add an internal wide ( 30-35 mm) covers trip to hide that gap and next glue the 25-30 mm external cover strip to have a better look form outside.

This point is not specifically noted in the crl . for high level we just take it as a suggested fix.

Looking Good Chris. If you haven't glued the covers yet, I would suggest to trim the edges a little to flat them more. Reference Images

Thank you Sir.

Thank you Sha Sha.

Congratulations!! Well done!
