  1. Wow. Quite a difference! I need to jump on a set of boots asap. These look very nice. The one thing I wish they did was to get a closer matching elastic, but what can you do?
  2. I've only ever used the tandy line 24 snaps. I get mine on ebay in hundred packs. I bought two hundred for less than thirty dollars last time. Solution to the long shank: HULK SMASH!
  3. If the fingeprint is from heat, try reheating them and rubbing them down to remove the lines. I did that when i got a bunch of scratches on a set once.
  4. I used that same foam when i was modding a Nerf gun into a Fifth Element gun. Be careful not to get it on anything you don't want ruined.
  5. I keep any returns on my armor around 1/8 inch. Helps to minimize armor bite. There are certain areas though that it looks better a little larger. Use your best judgement. Also, remember you can always go back and trim away more if you feel it's necessary.
  6. Very cool. Seems a little spendy, though, especially considering that Tito's vodka is considered one of the best around and it's around 25-30 bucks for a handle.
  7. Real nice video. Thanks for posting this. Got any high def pics of the finished product?
  8. Hmm... I see. Maybe I'm able to do it because of the group I'm in. Never mind, I guess.
  9. Any user can modify titles. You have to hit Edit, then click on Use Full Editor. Once you've done this you'll be able to change the title.
  10. I fully agree with everything stated in the first post! Now, I just have to decide which version I'm going to make. They are super thin. See JoeR's post.
  11. Yep, they're Marks. And they're spectacular.
  12. ATA is perfect for your size and should look great on you!
  13. Armor looks warped in a bunch of spots. Sides of chest and on the left thigh as well.
  14. Condolences going out from us.
  15. Wow. That helmet is hideous.
  16. Finally! What took you so long?! Looking good man. I will say that you can drop your biceps down a bit to even out the look of the armor.
  17. Biceps need to go up more. I have the same problem and since my arms are pretty big I still have trouble getting them to go as high as i want. Use some shims and redo the outer strips. That'll let you move the biceps up. Once you do that, you'll have a lot of freedom to move.
  18. WOW! Very reasonable. I might have to ask Santa for one of these!!!!
  19. I also want to say that trying on someone else's helmet shouldn't be your basis for sizing. Remember, everyone is different and not everyone uses the same style padding in the inside of the buckets. This can all be customized to fit YOU once you do one for yourself.
  20. They're already taking orders? Got a link?
  21. Not a bad idea. I may be doing this myself with my next two builds. I'll probably do it permanently though.
  22. Nope. Just goes over your shoulders/back.
  23. If you can find a CAP it might be good. Our squad XO has a self proclaimed giant head and he says the CAP fits him perfectly. Also, a buddy of mine, Redcoat, solved the glasses problem by actually attaching some lenses to the inside of his bucket. Maybe you can send him a PM or he can post some pics.
