TK-4510[TK] Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Make sure that the shoulder webbing under the straps are foreword enough or the bells will ride too far back and have a big gap in the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yeah Ive noticed that I keep having to regroup the shoulder bells to the front. One good thing about going all industrial strength velcro is that you can move it around if needed add some foam & paint the inside of the butt plate black & your ready to roll IMO Youre supposed to paint the inside of the butt black? I didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1[TK] Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Smitty, Hey your right, black butt??? I didnt know this either. Can some one shed light on this.. I have not seen this either and it would be interesting to know. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosch Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Some of us whose butts actually fill out the butt plate and then some don't have to worry about it. It's you skinny little dudes that you can see the inside of your butt plates from and angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosch Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 In fact I don't think there is a piece of my armor that I dont fill out and then some! I'm going back over my entire setup for elite status and there is nothing I dont have to shim. I have shims on the forearms, shims on the biceps, Not even mentioning the 3 inch shims on the thighs. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Ok, well I have to get some flat black for CS3 anyway...2 birds one stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Had the armor party last night. What a Blast! Hal showed up a nice set of FX armor. After seeing an FX bucket in person I dont think it looks nearly as big as some of the pictures show. Kris showed up in republic commando attire that was simply amazing. Kris' daughter had her Boussh (spelling?) helmet. OK about this bounty hunter helmet...not everyone can wear it. I couldnt even get my skinny little head in that thing. She was the only one there that could get it on. I got CS2's stock upgraded. When the pizza guy showed up we pulled a little Mos Eisley road block action. That was fun. I'll post more pics when I recieve them. Oh and one more thing. The ATAT pilot helmet is frikken huge. At one point we had a line up of a TE, TE2, MRUK and FX stormy buckets on the back of the sofa. i hope someone got a picture of that!

drosch Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Great pics! Great armor! What do you mean you need a blaster? Don't you have like 6 or 7 of them laying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ive yet to build my own yet. I think I will be building CSX in parallel with the next couple of blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 That looked awesome, might just have to have a party like that when my friends and I get our suits. Might as well add that I'll probably buy one of your blasters when I get the money... (when they're made that is.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Trooper Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Smitty only is doing a limited run of his blasters. Which sucks for the people who wont get one. They look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 One more pic from the armor party. At one point we had a TE TE2 MRCE and FX lined up side by side but we didnt get a picture of it For the true bobble head effect, wear GF armor with an FX bucket! I'm ready to win coach! Just put me in the game!!! Initiating contact with the pizza guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 My wireless kits came in today and I installed one with my Wal-Mart Voice changer in the chest plate. I'll get pics up as soon as I can. I need to install the mics and transmitters in my helmets still. I've already tested one unit out and it works like a charm. The transmitters are on the same frequency so all I have to do is swap helmets. Then I coiled up the antenna on the reciever and only have a range of about 5 ft away so that means less possibility of the reciever picking up something its not supposed to. I'll get it mounted in the helmets tomorrow. I think I'm gonna call it "Wally Wi-Fi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
