Disco[TK] Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 How did you cut the circles so neatly? I see a yellow tool in the background - does it have a blade on it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K@nne[TK] Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, need the help of the experts. The belt normally will be rivet on the abdominal plate on both sides. Please have a look on the following screen cap. I marked the belt of the trooper in the front, correct me if I am wrong but it looks like that the belt was only rivet on the left site but not on the right site? What do you think guys? thx Edited June 26, 2015 by K@nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K@nne[TK] Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) arms are glued and ready for strapping I only have to remove the residual glue before strapping Edited June 26, 2015 by K@nne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Belt is riveted both sides. The screen grab is not clear enough to see it, especially as it's painted white, but it's there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K@nne[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 So after getting back from the SciFi days and talking with some great guys of the German Garrison I assembled my belt and did the strapping for the abdominal, back and chest plate (don´t look at the splashes on the mirror, my son brushed his teeth minutes before ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco[TK] Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Good luck with the thighs - I have skinny legs so it's been alright - I've had to pull my shins apart as I glued them for the wrong legs(what is it with me and wrong legs???) so I need to do some repairs there.

K@nne[TK] Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) I am on the home straight, I only have to do a few things to get the armor ready for approval Stille waiting on my inner drop boxes to attached them correctly onto the belt. Can somebody tell me where these 4 remaining straps have to be added? I suppose the 2 small straps are for connecting the chest with the back and the 2 other for connecting the hand guards with the forearms? And I can´t stop myself try to wear the armor on that extrem hot day What I noticed on wearing the legs, I am to short for the legs. So I think I have to cut the back a bit.
