TD42115[501st] Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Bicep hooks - 22mm wide bent using the heat gun - now glued and clamped I did this as well, find it helps keep the biceps strait. i do have them snap strapped to the bells too.

That is an excellent idea! If those ever come apart I will add snaps to them as well - cheers and thank-you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernaut11[TK] Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Great idea for the velcro. Is that the cover strip plastic that you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyder918 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Awesome progress! Per your hard hat liner, I was looking at one of those too but wasn't sure about the tension adjustment knob. That clears just fine inside the helmet? I'm stuck between this or pads..meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never seemed to have that problem with my last armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the hooks are for the elastics and were used in ANH - you can see them when Han is sitting in the control room with Chewy and the Boss's kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The only issue with the ones with the adjustment knob opposed to the snap back ones is you won't have as much free space to stuff electronics if you go that route. No way I could fit my icomm, SHA, and their respective amps/battery packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jason - very valid point and performed a dry fit first to make sure it didn't take up too much space - I will have lots of room for Tony's goodies once I can afford them. How's your system by the way you lucky Sandy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Everything worked great but I was unable to use the SHA system because the fans I have now cause a lot of vibration on the bucket which the mics pick up on. I could hear decent enough at my troop without them but they will definitely help. Once Echo gets caught up and I can get his fan system I plan on doing Tony's conversion and using the battery source in my chest plate too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well mates, my Hero build lies in the hands of Troopermaster. I have PM'd him to inquire about getting a hero helmet kit as my ears do not fit properly on my bucket. So my helmet build is on hold till I hear back. Keep calm and FISD on Still lots to do on the armor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Why don't you just make your AP stunt and get approved while you're waiting for the TM helmet? You can get another belt so you can do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well we can't really get mad at that but you might as well order a new set! What are you going to do with an ear less bucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undo the teeth I filled in and make a HWT bucket when I have funds again then it will be easier to switch to a Sandy later when the armor wears down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm starting to think you're dragging your feet. How long until you can get a TM bucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
