ComradeDave[TK] Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ok So... Garter system. very nice fit. Started on the belt. Very afraid for the snap bit... Right side enclosure with tab system for a glove like fit the 2 sides have literally 0 gap! Having a really hard time placing the shoulder main strap snaps and the Chest piece in general. I have 2 snaps in the front of the ab and 2 in the chest should I connect those first and then find the correct fit for the shoulders? Right now I have them only connected to the back... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 2759[501st] Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 All is looking good... Not sure what you're having problems with re shoulders... Placing of shoulder bells? You may need another set of hands and eyes... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDave[TK] Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 not the bells Dan, I mean connecting the white elastic shoulder straps from the back to the chest plate. I was standing in most of my armour and undersuit for a good 2 hours last night in around 23 -6 degree (75-80ish Fahrenheit), I now know the heat. lol All is looking good...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Managed to get the chest on it's a little tight I already loosened it once butstill kinda tight around the neck might need to extend a bit more. Won't be long now. This weekend is going to be another slow down though. My fiancee's bridal show is Sunday.

ComradeDave[TK] Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks boys, I'll be back at it this week. I'm really trying to cut down my drinking and I know this will be a nice distraction. Everyone has their own vices I want to better myself, being in a group as supportive and understanding as this has really helped me to strive to live happier and healthier. I hope you guys had a great weekend too Despite the terrible events yesterday. All of my American comrades my heart and thoughts are with you. I wish the world was more like the 501st, we need more brotherhood and love today. Best Regards friends, you can count on more progress soon! One last break before the finish line brother - have a stellar weekend! Aaaaaahhhhh another post.

ComradeDave[TK] Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 couple of things left, arm armour needs to be strapped to fit, need a bit of velrco on the ab and belt as well as the tops of my boots and I think I'm going to cut down the back tops of the shins and back bottoms of the thighs for comfort. Other than that I need to do some work on my E-11, some paint on the ejection port, a reticule and I need to get a spring in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
