I must be doing something wrong,mine are 8 mm in length and they seem way to long.are you meant to hit them with a hammer or what?

So how did it turn out?any photos?

the rivet right on the end of the belt makes sense because it holds the ends of the plastic to the belt.though maybe they were not all made that way.After all RS has an original belt to copy off.

yeah but its taken over my monkey page

hey Stuart,how did you do that.

from the forums main page I just click on anyone of these two and I get the monkeys.ANH (Stunt and Hero) ANH Build Threads

I just thought I'd mention that I got around the monkey problem by logging on using google chrome. So whos laughing now..Wayne 1 monkeys 0 haha..ha

So I trimmed it back to 70mm 3 & 3/4 inches. I ended up using the overlocker as it cuts as it sews and I don't have to worry about it fraying.

that marital doesn't look like canvas either. I'm thinking that if I sow mine like that it will fray back to the stitch in no time.

Is three inches to wide for the belt cause I can trim it back.I just found a better photo of the original belt and it looks like mine could be a bit to wide.Also like there edgers were sewn with an overlocker.

There's three dimples 2 either side and 1 in the middle,I thought the same thing drill marks.I had a quick look on there facebook and it looks like that's how they make there belts. couldn't find a photo of there original.

I just did the same thing .Doh! But you can just move them across 10mm or so right?

I made my belt canvas today.I cut a piece 15 inches wide, folded it 5 times making it 3 inches wide and then sewn along either side.

Thanks again, The parts do fit, I just thought my left thigh looked a bit to slim compered to the right and I proberly will go back and replace the strips like you said,but manly because I like look of the wider strip better.

Thanks for your input Paul. I was never going to shim this armor and is the excuse I need to go on a health kick. I'm trying to make everything slim like the originals but have I made the thighs to slim?I should of researched a bit more I guess. If I was to build another suit I think I would make the joining strips wider on the legs ,mine are 20 mm I do like the look of the wider strip.

and the gap at the side.10 or so kg less should fix that.

So I did the 1st test fit today and was not expecting to fit into the torso,but I did!.. just with a couple of inchers of black on the right hand side.So I'm wrapped, until I noticed in the photo that the left thigh seemed a bit narrow. Then I measured the two (from the highest point inside the thigh)and the left is 650 mm 20 mm smaller at the top then the right . At the bottom not so bad 10 mm the difference. Im thinking of pulling the back apart on the left thigh and widening the top 10 mm or so and leaving the bottom of the thigh where it is.What do you think?

Your suit looks awsome rolf.

I can get it now and then but most of the time I get monkeys . http://www.whitearmor.net/emailus.html?showforum=80

I say you build it If for nothing more then the experience of the build.Then Ebay it, get you money back and buy some legit armor and with your new building skills put together an awesome kit.

anyone

Every time I try and go into the ANH build thread I get nothing but white screen with the word "monkeys" in the top left corner. how can I fix this??

nice fit! What helmet did you get?

looks good on you.The fore arms look to big though and you need tou raise the drop boxes.
