SWAMPTHING[TK] Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 howdy folks, I just picked up a really old set of armor, its yellowed, cracked, broken, missing the thermal det, only one hand plate, missing the drop boxes, the helmet is missing a couple things so this is perfect armor for this build, my buddy was going to toss it if I didnt ask for it, the thighs are too small but I will make it work. I will start posting pics soon, the best part it was free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWAMPTHING[TK] Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 putting it all together, I noticed the chest needs more green compared to the rest, I am not completely done yet, the abplate needs a little more work and I have to pick up the prop boxes yet and work on them, then it is down to putting it all together, and I want to pick up a zombie mask, for the face plus the holes need it behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAMPTHING[TK] Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 not finished yet... still need boots and drop boxes... but it is wearable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAMPTHING[TK] Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 this was a trial run for the Zombiewalk... due to being too cold, wet and windy I decided to just stay for the first couple hours before the walk and then went home, I had the following problems that I will solve or have already solved: 1: left shoulder bell came right off, had to duck tape it back on for the time being 2: straps holding up the abplate and back plate slid down limiting arm mobility, I have made joining straps front and back to hold them up. 3: due to the straps I had a hard time taking off the armor and both bridges across the shoulders that are attached to the chest and back pieces broke in two, I have duck taped them but I will most likely glue in PVC strips under 4: due to not having found good enough boots, I used an old pair of white runners, painted to match 5: I am not happy with the open section on the front of the helmet, I will be making this bigger in the coming months. I was happy with the reactions I got, everyone wanted photos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWAMPTHING[TK] Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I opened the front part of the helmet more.... since it is an FX helmet, it was upsetting that the hole looked good but when I put it on.... the hole looked way too small....
