Ravenwood[TK] Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Looks good, I would try to move your shoulder bells closer to your shoulder strap, but apart from that I think it looks good, nice work trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixotic5891 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ya after trying different things I found my biceps were to tight. I am re gluing them to be larger so they wont pull down as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Can you please show a tape measure against the length of your thermal detonator? It looks very long. Your canvas belt looks as wide as your ammo belt, it is supposed to close to the width of your ammo belt between the tapers. Does your belt have a plastic insert inside of it? I suppose you have to do, what you have to do in order to form fit this armour to your body size, but your shims are the biggest I've ever seen, like to the rear of your thighs and biceps. Your shoulder bells do need bringing in as already mentioned, but I guess they are going to have trouble bring brought in over your widened biceps. Your nearly there, just a few tweaks needed.

FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 The return edge at the bottom of your chest plate also looks rather large. A 6mm return edge is a good guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixotic5891 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) well due to my height and my weight not much I can do about my cover strips. Being short and a little wide makes everything hard to fit in basically my thighs touch my shins all the time which makes it hard to walk in. Here are the pics of the belt. turns out the thermal detonator is a little over half a inch to long so i'll fix that. Cut some of the return edge off on the chest plate.

Quixotic5891 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 here is the shortened TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Your belt looks close enough to clear able limits in that close up. I'm glad you trimmed down the TD and chest plate return edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The end caps on that TD look a little wide. But it works for EIB. Approved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
