Yee's TM ESB 1.5mm Build

Recommended Posts

A big box of brand spanking new TM armour arrived the other day. Will be going ESB for this one, the world needs more ESB troopers ;) Just got stuck in and trimmed a few parts, finished the cover strips on the left forearm and bicep and just waiting for the e6000 to cure on the right forearm and bicep right now. If anything needs fixing or changing just let me know :)

 

Big ol' box

Didn't come pre-trimmed. I trimmed them  :)

 

Have to say, this set of armour has been an absolute PLEASURE to work with so far! All the pieces just fit together so nicely and am absolutely loving building this. No frustration, no stress and it's all going by quickly too  :D

Not really great with updates :P  

 

Kitted up yesterday and saw a few things that needed to be fixed but did take some pictures. Fixed those things today and will take full body pics later and we'll see if there's anything else that needs to be fixed :)

 

In the meantime here are the pics I took yesterday

Cheers guys  :)

 

Submitted this build for clearance now with the UKG so here's some photos  ;)

 

Still need to reduce the thickness of the leaf padding to bring the helmet down a bit. I'll also add the wee shoulder strap elastics if I go for EIB :)

Was cleared with the UKG yesterday afternoon :duim:

 

Also have gone ahead and closed up that gap at the base of the left thigh and have sorted out the hand guards so they're secure at the front and don't lift.

Overall pretty quick and smooth build, really glad I got a set of the TM armour. Will be trooping with it real soon and I'm sure it'll do me well for a long time  :)

Cheers guys, was a great set of armour to build. Has been on a good number of troops since and has held up extremely well :duim:  Having said that, I seem to have horrible luck...
