Just catching up on this old thread, Justin. You expanding/reviving your RascalSnaps offering? Funny, I still have the ones I got from you waiting for installation in my kit. How has that press ended up working for you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was also about to say “YOU WOULD!” Haha. Fantastic job, Joseph! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know, right?! Joseph keeps adding to my to do-list. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like Lou beat me to mentioning AJ’s AM build thread. I particularly love the imagery AJ documented. The resource compilation thread that Glen mentioned is also a good one. ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve always understood this to be a preference thing, since screen references show the brow trim ends angled and cut in all different ways. Interested to hear what the DOs say. Here’s what I did: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Merry Christmas you filthy animals! =) Seasons greetings to all, and a happy new year! (May 2022 be the year I finally get my TK done) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So very sad about this news of Terrell’s wife. My prayers will be with their son Tyler and the rest of the family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that main plate and the vents are awesome! I could get in on this too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just PMed you and included Justin on the message, Ron! =)

Let me or Justin know if you’d like to get on Hellhounds’ interest list for a DLT. Hopefully those will be back in production (new orders) in the next several months. Justin is more involved than I, so probably a little more efficient to let him know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can vouch for the quality of the Hellhounds E-11, and here is my photo-filled review of his first run from back in 2019. He has since updated a few things, including further minimizing seam lines and adding even more greeblie detail. As Justin mentioned, he's not currently taking new orders, but may again at some point in 2022.

Personally I love seeing old threads from before my time! Interesting to see how things change, such as FX and such. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Resurrection of an ancient thread! Finish that Anovos already, Justin! ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Terrell was certainly very gracious to me in our 48-message email string over the past three years. An icon in the community, he will be missed desperately. Buckets off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well stated by Justin, and props to you man for making contact and getting personally involved at the local level. Troopers helping Troopers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Matthew - Justin (TheRascalKing) and I have been working with Hellhounds and we have your order information in our database. While you are, of course, welcome to reach out, it won’t be necessary to proceed with your order at this time. Everybody should be receiving an email in the coming days.

We’re certainly excited about this update and progress. We tried to recollect as much order info as possible to assist Daniel and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look like it could be rubber, or something similar, due to the flexibility of it. Here's a photo of my plastic solution and link to my post on the topic (you'll need to scroll towards the bottom of the long post).

Rob Kittell explicitly states the following on his TK canvas belt website listing: "STOP! IMPORTANT! The size you select needs to be your exact waist circumference measurement taken with your armor on. DO NOT add length for the Velcro overlap in the back of the belt; I take that into account when I make it." If you don't already have your torso pieces finished you can do what I did and trim the edges of your ab and kidney pieces to a proper fitment for you, and then take your measurement. That would be far more accurate than a generalized +5 inches to your waist.

Daniel has shared with personal cell number with several members who have had conversations with him over the past half year, and members of the SoCal and Imperial Sands Garrisons have also had dealings with him in recent months. Hopefully he comes through for everybody who still has active orders with him; I know he’s has lots of life issues, though that doesn’t excuse the lack of communication.

Hi Brandon! A fellow Georgian here, though I am on the opposite end of the state up north right outside Chattanooga, TN. As for bucket electronics, and ICOMM with Aker amp is another option you may consider, and I have a section on helmet internals in my resource thread below. Though the thread is primarily for ANH builds, it has lots of generalized information that may apply should you need to make alterations to your ESB suit to make it fit you. Or as Glen said, you can very easily use your ESB armor as a base suite and gain approval for an ANH Stunt and Hero, or HWT, with the appropriate mods. Quite a few people have done that, and I know @TheRascalKing has documented his conversions pretty well. EDIT: I think we'd all also love to see your BBB photos!

Very cool, Glen. I saw the 85421 ID (instead of your avatar) on Tapatalk and had to do a double take since I figured you had already maxed out all your kits at L3. Lookin good as always! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In order to maximize coverage of the your black undershirt between your chest plate and bells, as well as bring the outer edge the bells more flush with your biceps, you could trim some off the insides of your bells in a rounded fashion. This is how the original suits were done. Here’s a rough mock on your image, which was just an example done on my phone, and certainly not exact (the marks on the viewers right is probably too exaggerated). I’d recommend trimming little by little. And here is a screen-used reference, on the left. EDIT: I’ll add that your bell on the viewer’s left might already be as flush as you can get it without trimming off more of the bottom return edge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I remembered Shawn saying he was getting out of the business, maybe in the HWT part of the forum, but I didn’t recall who had taken over for him. Good to know it’s in Dave’s hands now. If only I could ever finish my own HWT pack build. Or my TK for that matter. Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Off the top of my head I can’t recall kit makers, but I suspect there are ample resources at the MEPD detachment. Perhaps somebody will come along with more TD info than I. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
