ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I did a dry fit, needless to say it's a little big on my wireframe. how do you know where to install the snaps so everything fits ok? and if parts need to be altered how do you bring them in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Looking frosty there Trooper! The webbing/strapping holds it in place - I had the same question when I was testing my dry fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 2759[501st] Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 All is looking well... You can shorten and lengthen the strapping as required... There's a picture around on where to place snap plates. I saved it, but not sure how to post pictures from iPad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 torso progress, the butt, kidney, ab, shoulder straps and ab button plate are cut and sanded. I still need to cut out out the 22mm squared notch but I got it right in the pocket. trimming the ab armor to clamshell perfectly is giving me a hard time though but I'll get it.

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 sanded like a champ, however I left a little extra just in case... like so many of my forefathers have said on this forum it's easier to take off than to add. I see an end in sight my brothers and sisters 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Didn't notice, and not sure others will either... I got the go ahead from Tony, Ukswrath and he said I should be fine! Thanks bud! I made do a little ABS paste work to square things off but I'm definitely happy I can proceed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really don't like the way they look, procure some new ones. Better than messing these ones up ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Against my better judgement I bought new shoulder straps and ab plate... I swear to god this is the last time in a while I'm dropping coin on this thing I'm probably easily aroun 1700 dollars on this thing... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDave[TK] Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I want to get as much up to centurion perfectness off the bat so I don't need to spend the money later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
