  9. helmet padding ?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    WHAT I am using now is pretty much the same as the knee padding and while i love how guys helmets look with the knee pads i think it would get uncomfortable after an hour or so, 12 batting helmet is that the padding only or the whole helmet? I looked at some sports helmets but was unsure if the padding came out without tearing it, i also saw pics of the nonskid wrapped foam but is it able to be removed so you can clean the foam from all the sweat it soaks up?

    ok i must have a smallllll head since i seem to have a hard time finding something i can use to pad my mrce bucket, the stuff it came with left the helmet loose and almost sitting on my shoulders, while i was staring at the inside of the brow, i am 5'9"+ so i am an average size person, for now I bought a big neopreene kneeling pad for gardening and cut it up and shoved it in the helmet but it needs alot of refinement

     

    so heres the question what have you used and WHERE CAN YOU BUY IT, since i see lots of pics but no idea what it is or where purchased, pics are good too ;)

  12. modded rubies supream tk armor

    i was unable to login here for a while but bro I want to thank you and the other guys for helping me some with my armor, hopefuly we can all get together again soon and i can get some more done, for the $400 I paid for this new in box i am not sure i could have bought and assembled a fan made for the same and still would have had to do all the mods and fitting, this armor is thick heavy gauge abs not thin like some of the fan mades i have seen not that that makes a difference just wanted guys to know it is a rigid material that they used ;) i was given a pair of calves and eventualy may start to fase out the rubies pats in lou of fan made so I match everyone else depending on how well we can make this set fit :)

  13. REQUEST FOR: customizing the "Supreme"

    i also have the rubies, first thing is dump the helmet and get the mrce it is well worth the $100, next is start trimming back the openings on the pieces so they don't cut into your skin when you are trying to mov, you will need to cut off elastic and addvelcro, webbing, and snaps in places, worst part about this set is there is no left right on the arms you get 2 rights, the chest and back look small, and the legs are huge, it is like they didn't copy 1 sized set of armor they just grabbed a bunch of pieces from a pile and copied em, legs are for a big person chest for a small person abs and arms for an average person, i took mine to a ner build and we worked on it some but i still need to do more they took pics for comparison but don't know if they ever got posted, i might end up having to buy another armor eventualy :angry:

  18. left handed BAH!

    in General Weapons Discussion

    Posted

    the whole problem is due to the fact that they used a real sub machine gun as a starter point and it was never intended(the real sterling gun) to be in a holster but carried from a sling, pistols can be right or left handed because the mag loads from the bottom, or like the mauser pistol that han solo carried which feeds ammo from the top off stripper clips because the mag is a permanant part of the gun

    i am building this but how did you get the ends to thread together nicely i tried the pvc threaded ends and the abs threaded ends and none seem to want to thread in smooth and completly, tried lube and workin em back and forth, or do you not worry about the one end threading all the way on since the seam is covered by the control pannel? :huh:

    Here´s mine:

     

     

    I used kneepads that I cut pieces of and hotglued them to the interior. Works like a charm.

     

    I used one set of fans I bought here on the forum (they are 80mm CPU-fans), I also installed two more fans (40mm) which I connected to a small switch then to a 9 volt battery (one battery for each fan). Fans are from a local computer store, and the switches are available in most stores selling electrical gadgets (Radioshack etc.)

     

     

    what kind of knee pads did you use i like the look

    For the TD you can go for Humbrol No.5 Admiral Grey or Testors - 1138 Gray

    Most seem to be going for the Testers now for their helmets as Humbrol appear to be making their

    grey much lighter then it used to be

    Here's a quick reference for the rest of the colours

     

     

     

     

    I think the 'Testers' are as follows;

     

    Ab Buttons

    1772 Model Master - Blue Angel Blue FS15050

     

    Ab Buttons, Frown & traps

    1138 Testors - Gray

     

    Black

    Testor No.1747 = Humbrol No.21

    Model Master - Gloss Black FS17038 1/2 Oz.

     

    Blue

    Testor No.1511 = Humbrol No.15

    Testor No.2715 = Humbrol No.14

    (Model Master French Blue)

     

    I hope this helps mate :)

     

    THANKS FOR THE INFO :)
