ComradeDave[TK] Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Who's tips are they? I ended up ordering the Vaj 3D printed ones yesterday Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk I made the mistake of ordering them on ebay... Lesson learned. They look fine but I need to DIY them to look more authentic. So inevitable they will be my mic tips.... sigh. They look like casts from Mark from CFO so if anyone deserves props it's him, I saw the bs he was getting on the RPF forums after I bought them and now I feel like a real goof. Live and Learn. I'm going to order from Keith, Sskunky or Vaj for the real deal in due time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 My Tkittell belt looks amazing. I can see why he's been making them for almost everyone on here now lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I was going to order Darmans but now someone local may make it for me and the more that I look I'm thinking if she doesn't I may just try myself.<br><br> And I'm just going to ask Mark from AP is I can use the ones he's sending to make just myself an identical set of foam rubber hand guards. I'm scared of the latex. If he isn't I'll buy but I'd rather just pop out my own. Or even better try my hand at mold making and carve my own out. That actually sounds like so much more fun to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 In my life time there is not only going to be one build I can count on that. I still would love to do a Scout, Shadow and Snowtrooper eventually. Plenty of time to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
