Snaps[TK] Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I just used glue on the Dropbox elastics. Belt and thigh armor looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Getting closer to the strapping stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Belt almost finished, just need to attach the drop boxes to the elastic straps behind. Is there a verdict on how these should be attached? Glued or rivet etc. Use CAP rivets if you still have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 What is the go for adhering foam inside the helmet? glue, double sided tape, what works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxsteele[TK] Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm using mich pads for my helmet. One side of those pads acts as fuzzy Velcro, so I stuck the hook Velcro inside my helmet and I can adjust the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Good idea, Velcor, so they can be removable for cleaning inside my bucket. Thanks man. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Got a few more things done last night, after a big weekend at our first Comicon.

Sly11[Admin] Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 More progress today, so know the shoulder bells are strapped and only need to be attached to the shoulder bridges when they are done. Also glued the button plates onto the ab, and made a garter belt for the thighs. All going well I should be complete by tomorrow afternoon......Yippy.

Snaps[TK] Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Looks really good buddy!! Only suggestion I have is cutting the strip at the top on your ammo belt thigh just a little to even it up with the armor Feels great to finally be wearing it all doesn't it?
