Pyrates[TK] Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Congratulations TK-21196 and I believe the first AP graduate in our class this year! 1 Quote
Jinsei[TK] Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Posted March 20, 2016 Haha thanks! I'm actually not the first with the new AP kit. There is a guy in our garrison that got his AP kit at the same time and finished it about a month ago, he just doesn't post up anything. 2 Quote

Jinsei[TK] Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I'm going to post up the photo's I sent in for submission in a bit. There is stuff that I will definitely need to change for trooping. Mainly better securing the shins to prevent side to side movement, how the helmet sits as well as cutting behind the knee area. It may not be as pretty as some of what people have been doing here recently but I'm happy how it turned out, especially since this was the first thing like this I have ever done. The top 4 I sent in with the initial application and the GML wanted me to fix the TD height, screw angle, as well as the angle on the ammo pouch. The bottom 3 are from the 2nd successful attempt. On a side, the 2nd pictures were taken with the assistance of the gf, which was huge help lol. And the 2nd attempt below. and forgot these ones! Edited March 21, 2016 by Jinsei 6 Quote

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Armor looks great but the one thing that is sticking out to me is the hand plates. Why do they look so thick? if they are the ABS ones, I would sand them down a lot. 2 Quote
ComradeDave[TK] Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Nicely done brother. now you can help me with mine! lol. It sucks I can't seem to find more than a few hours at a time to work on this thing... 1 Quote
Jinsei[TK] Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks all for the kind words Yeah the hand plates are the ABS ones, and do look too thick. I'm leaning towards getting my stuff together for EIB then Centurion if I can manage it. The hand plates are in the process of being replaced a set of latex ones. Just because I got the tk accepted doesn't mean I'm finished with it yet! 2 Quote
ABS80 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) FANTASTIC JOB it fits you like a glove! I just rough trim the hand plates off the ABS sheet since most customers upgrade for the rubber ones, you need to remove a lot more material all around.

Awesome job, and congrats again! Edited March 21, 2016 by TK 2759 1 Quote
