  1. Hello it was recommended that I get higher access / Status if it is not already done - I have filled out a number of links. TK25998
  2. Yes I am filling out lots of online stuff! Talk to everyone soon!
  3. Yes most definitely! Have a great holiday season everyone!
  4. hi everyone- great new I got my TK number will post on the other forum. Thank you everyone for your help - what amazing group to work with!! right now have to get the fans installed in the helmet. Otherwise armour is fantastic! thank you everyone!!!
  5. Hi there - ok having a bit of trouble. Seems my cybersecurity program is preventing me to use Imgur 101 - coming up as Blocked site - in fact going on this forum I have to use my phone. Is there another website/program available that I can use? (I have looked at resetting preferences, etc. so nothing seems to be working). any suggestions?
  6. ok - it seems my firewall is creating some issues with using this site (imgur 101). I will have to figure this out and see what can be done on my end. thanks..Arvin.
  7. Hi There - I tried a different way to minimize the photos and just wanted to do a test here.... Does it appear as an attachment or can you see it as part of the text - size wise it is small enough. IMG_0010 Small.heic
  8. Yes of course - these were just the fun photos. I have the close ups and side and back views. I also have a cheat sheet that I created that I created based on what I saw on the other forums (especially with photos showing with lines good and bad assemblies). I will be redoing the dress up adjusting a few obvious things I saw. (Ie alignment, straightening out belts, etc.) Should have this done this weekend for the first round submission. by the way - fan is very very important in the helmet! Man it got hot in there! have a great week everyone!
  9. oh Andrea at RS Prop has 2 photos from me so if you know her she could share with you.
  10. Hi everyone sorry about being off the grid for the past week - I got hacked so was in major security protocol lockdown. the good news - got the armour - it is an amazing fit. So I learned the following and I will post photos shortly: 1. Line of sight / visibility is tight so definitely walk around and get a feel for everything. 2. Putting armour on is tricky at first but you can get the hang of it with experience - challenge is are the snaps and trying to do it when you can’t see it. 3. Keeping things straight and perfect - I was not perfect on the first try but you can quickly see where you may need help and extra pair of hands. 4. I want to send photos but I need some time to clean up on the IT side. If someone has an email/text I can send something if you really want to see it…but I need to still do some reconfiguring of my laptop. next steps: second assembly and photos for sending through for comments / approval. I have Halloween and one of my clients is a TV station and we discussed doing the weather report on Halloween (LOL). No pressure! talkto everyone soon.
  11. Oh I like this - this seems nice and sleek.
  12. Etsy and Amazon have a bunch - just check the dimensions - I am still waiting for confirmation. Not sure if anybody had has had bad experiences with them. it's not that expensive so I decided to take a gamble. they look exactly like the images on the reply posts above.
  13. Hi there, Well my first box arrived today (helmet) and the second (armour) is arriving tomorrow. Wow - what a difference seeing it and holding the items in your hand. Immediate thing on the helmet is I want to do the upgrades. *mesh, green lens, fans are on order, etc.- hoping the local folks can help me out with sourcing good products for some items. I am going to start to put the armour on slowly and move around before taking photos - also downloaded photos from the other forums when people submitted to pick up some more tips. Also it's amazing how light the material is - I was very surprised about this one aspect - was expecting the material to be heavier. Once again - can't thank everyone enough to get me to this point with all the sharing of knowledge. I plan to take this one step at a time...basic approval first, then get started on the next level EIB as soon as humanly possible. What else can I do in retirement! Questions for tonight: #1 - is there a good method to upload photos - mine seem to be quite large format. #2 - when I am ready to get feedback should I go directly to the other forum and post. thanks.
  14. Hello there, One question - can't tell from the photos but how did you hold the fan pieces to the inside of the helmet - is it simply velcro? thank you.
