  1. I did quite a bit to my BS bucket. The beginning of my build thread shows most...getting rid of the battery box and speaker are the most important! My stock lenses do just fine, I blacked out the inside of my bucket...brow lowering and chin extension is a bigger job...up to you...definitely paint to match armor!  Have fun...Good luck!!!

  2. Looking good! I used supa glue,snaps, and velcro to hold my armor together..just trooped Sinulog in Cebu and spent 10 hours in armor...no problems with my suit at all!! With the forearms...I used a belt sander to remove the back side of the cover strips till I was OK with the thickness...the top and bottom edges are pretty much gone....have fun!!!

    Did I refer her to you? I can’t remember, but I bought a Shoretrooper seal from her a couple years ago and it’s great. I try to send people that way as much as possible. Nice selection.

    Found them on my own....not listed in this area...Should be, yes nice selection! Went to them after no communication from Sheev's after 10 weeks.....

  4. Ok I understand now, black ABS from ebay. Used it for the black stripes on the side's of the torso also..the chest and back plate was a trial and error kinda thing...you can see on my build tread how I came to that alignment.  I had to heat and tweak my shoulder straps to get the sides to line up. I made them as wide as the lower back plate sides...glued them to the back plate and used snaps on the front...two per side...good luck and have fun!!!

  5. I had these same questions.   I thought about hiding mine behind the drop boxes. Didn't because of access to the clips.  I went with straight down the side...being an 850 AW kit I attached the top to the abdominal. Easy peasy!  Remember to have fun!  Check out all the build threads....
