xeonmainframe[TK] Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 Hey everyone my name is Duane and this is my first venture into armor building and am looking for opinions on the build or ideas for it. I am attending my friends armor party tomorrow so hopefully will get a good start on it then. I have already completed my bucket thanks to pandatrooper's tutorial and will post pics as soon as i can.

armoredguard Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 If I could ask, what maker is that kit? I have yet to start my first build waiting on the kit to be pulled and shipped. Quote
xeonmainframe[TK] Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Posted April 6, 2013 If I could ask, what maker is that kit? I have yet to start my first build waiting on the kit to be pulled and shipped. is ATA and I am Quite Happy with it thus far Quote
armoredguard Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 Cool definitely going to follow this thread ive got an ata kit coming around oct...long story order error communication with wife errors resulted in "accidentally" ordering both an ap kit due in late apr early may and an ata kit around oct...might go incinerator or hwt with it not sure.

pattrooper Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 Welcome Duane, great job on the bucket, looking forward to seeing your progress. Remember don't be to afraid to ask us any questions. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) looks like the lid needs to be adjusted a little. the ears have uneven gaps near the tubes, and the teeth need to be cut out a bit more. the eyes near the center need to be trimmed a little more as well. good luck!

xeonmainframe[TK] Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Posted April 8, 2013 Yep I worked on all of that today as well as trimming all of the parts the only problem I see is that I have large thighs and I will have to make big cover strips for the back side so that I can keep the proper look in the front I will post pics of all the trimmed parts once I get them on the computer Also any advice on the thigh cover strips would be useful Quote
xeonmainframe[TK] Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 ok am having an issue i'm on the heavier side and i need to know what to do with the thigh armor. i know to keep the front as accurate as possible but it leaves a large gap i will have to shim in back. however the shin armor fits perfect any ideas on what would be allowable for the back of the thighs gap is like 4.5in to 6in at the top and 1.5in to 3in on the bottom ridge to ridge Quote
