Forgot to add at the beginning, the armor is AM.

Finally got things arranged and fitting better. Due to some weight loss I've had to readjust the suspenders and now the ab and kidney parts fit tighter or more snug. The thighs concern me as do the shins. I think I may need to trim one or both. The sniper plate seems to be hitting the bottom of the thigh ridge and the ammo band seems to restrict my right leg movement. Pics to follow.

Here are some more pics after I started. I was following the builds and nobody said start with the core (torso) work outward and do the limbs last so its been a learning curve and became a little more work, but I learned a lot. Here is where I am. The chest and back plates have been taken off the kidney and Ab plate and are stand alone. I left the snaps in place in case I wanted/needed to go back to one whole front and back piece. But I can move better now. The suspender system for the ab and kidney is great and easier to put on.

Howdy. Here is the picture trip of my first adventure into this. The build has been daunting, frustrating and fun all at the same time. So I have posted some of this on my local garrison page in a thread and they have been good support. My GML has been really good. But I wanted to get opinions from a wider audience as I know there are a ton of tricks and tips out there. Some of what I've followed in this group seems to be "old" as I've been told different ways to change a lot of my build based other options such as ease of use or comfort over the years and others experiments. based on the info from others. So there has been some re-configuring and snaps/straps come and go. The tips really worked. So, that said, I'll post the pics and some comments and y'all fire away good, bad or constructive. What I though was going to be the hardest (boots) was really the easiest. I'm building a Stunt kit and shooting for EIB, hopefully Centurion. I'm getting there. Baby steps. LLTE (Long live the Empire).

I knew that…… Thanks I thought there was a separate message board for PM's. Sent him a message .already. Here we go. Jumping in with both feet.

How do I get to the message boards? Trying to contact sSkunky for an armor quote. TIA!
