darksideemt Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I remember having to trim more off of one side than the other for the same reason. You want the middle box centered most of all. Edited January 23, 2012 by darksideemt Quote

BananoPower22[TK] Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Looking nice! But my neck kinda hurts now Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 Ya srry bout thesideways pic even if i fix them in photobucket they still post sideways for some reason. lol Quote
Trooperman Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 looks good, but i think your drop boxes might have to be moved slighly Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 looks good, but i think your drop boxes might have to be moved slighly Agreed. Move the drop boxes out so that the outer edges are lined up with the outer edges of the belt. Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Posted February 1, 2012 will do, i hope they slide over enough. I decided to not rivet them on and place them inside of the two outer rivets on the belt. Thanks Quote
darksideemt Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 will do, i hope they slide over enough. I decided to not rivet them on and place them inside of the two outer rivets on the belt. Thanks they actually should have been mounted with the outside rivets, so get it as close as you can. Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I figured i wouldnt rivet them on, so that they could be removable if needed. Oops. Edited February 2, 2012 by dante12721 Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Nice armor, Brother!!! I have my ATA kit on its way. Your armor is getting me STOKED!!! In regards to those drop boxes, they should not be moveable at all. They should be fixed in position lining up with the outside edge of the ammo belt. Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Posted February 4, 2012 Well it is what it is, a little too late to change it. Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Posted February 5, 2012 about 6 hrs later helmet is almost done, just some painting and installing the s neck trim left heres some pics (srry bout pic quality) the only problem i ran into is the bottom not quite linning up, should i trim it even, and glue it together to attach the s-trim? heres the pic it hard to see but the area under the ear doesnt line up, and since everythingelse pretty much lines up right expect theres a slight gap on one ear, im not looking to take it apart and re-esemmble it.

TD-4395[501st] Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 all right helmet is done, so there shall be some full gear pics coming soon... Quote

darksideemt Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Looks great, Congrats! Just a suggestion, you need to clean up the cover strips on the back of the thighs. Quote
TD-4395[501st] Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 What happened was that they are velcroed on, and i didnt notice till afterwards that they were a little off in their placement Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Looking fantastic! Armor look perfect on you. One quick tip though, you can pull the belt up a wee bit more so it aligns with the bottom of the ab button square "control panel" or however it's called. But everything else looks superb. Well done!
