Haso[TK] Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 New plan - if it doesn't hold I'm going to remove the cover strip behind the plate so it sits more flush to the shin - don't get mad, get even Hey mate I got the plate and inner side secured. Just got to glue the outer side. I'll get some pics and comments up on my thread soon, but I put the outer side in some hot water and twisted it inwards slightly before putting it all on. I also put some scrap abs either side of the cover strip so as to give the plate a bigger area to glue to.

I'll be looking forward to seeing it.I pulled the plate off tonight unintentionally removing the outer cover strip (thank Vader I put an inner cover strip already) - got everything cleaned up while drinking some beer to prevent from doing something silly Edited March 17, 2016 by Pyrates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haso[TK] Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Repeated reply....arch. just had some connection issues. Forgot to say I've been referring to previous centurion submissions, particularly a guy on FISD, goes by the name The 5thhorseman. Or something like that. Using them as a visual for the sniper plate.

Haso[TK] Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 That's him. Seeing his, the ridges of his shin armour at the sides aren't parallel to the angle of the sniper plate sides, so I'm happy to just try to emulate his - considering he be a centurion!

Rubber floor mat from a liquidation store, and just be cautious if you're using my thread mate remember I'm a bigger guy and I'm still a green horn too and can make mistakes. Really useful threads that have helped me are on Page 7 of my thread. I highly recommend using Tony's ATA thread as it is more similar to our AP than the A..something. It's the same thread Sentry put up: ukswrath's AM 1.0, ATA bucket build http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/31920-ukswrath%27s-AM-1%2E0%2C-ATA-bucket-build 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry71[TK] Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Yep, I've been following the ATA thread as well as the Anovos one, and taking bits and techniques from each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
