Ravenwood[TK] Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I have all of mine connected together and it clamshells around me and just rests on my shoulders, then the belt cinches everything in (for me) very comfortable, fast and easy to get on and off. This is the best pic I have that shows the strapping for both back and front on mine. Quote

This is the best pic I have that shows the strapping for both back and front on mine. Yeah, that's pretty much how mine is,for the most part. Only exceptions are the back isn't connected to anything, and the sides connect with strapping to keep the ab/kidney close. Will have to look into that. Thanks for the pic! Quote
Ravenwood[TK] Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I have strapping connecting the kidney and ab plats also, In this picture I the clamps are holding the snap plates for them in place while the glues cures. I have two on each side. Quote
MxPxRobbie[TK] Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 Pics from last night's troop. Got my back plate to sit a little closer, but adding a strap will make it a lot better. Quote
MxPxRobbie[TK] Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Posted April 19, 2013 aaaaand it's been approved - I think this is the first approved NE suit, if I'm not mistaken! Going to finish the EIB stuff and get that submitted shortly! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted April 19, 2013 Report Posted April 19, 2013 Nice build and it fits you well. But the hand guards look very thin; did you trim them so? Quote

Yes, I overtrimmed a little... meant to leave an edge on there. Makes little difference as I will be getting your hand guards (among other things) before I submit for Centurion. Quote
Ravenwood[TK] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 looks great nice work and congrats on the approval trooper Quote
Obey Wann[501st] Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Congrats on the quick approval! I can't wait to get my kit! Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 Congrats on being the first NE approved. Say hi to Mr. and Mrs. Femtrooper for me. We miss them here in Hawaii Aloha, -Eric Quote
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Awesome build. I just ordered my NE kit this week. Can't want to get started on it. Quote
