ayen_s[TK] Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Try out Anovos velcro strapping method for breast and back plate connection. It is very clumsy and require constant readjustment. I am totally convinced that snap or canon braketing are way better.

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ahmad, just wanted to reassure you that you're on the right track. You may end up wanting to add additional straps towards the end of the butt plate to keep it from sticking out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may end up wanting to add additional straps towards the end of the butt plate to keep it from sticking out. Thank you for the reminder. Bought an inflatable mannequin for me to have third person view of the armor myself. Wear the WIP armor to it. Place order for pair of boot size(42eu/9us/8uk) from imperialboots.com . I waiting for the boots to arrive before I glue the shin plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayen_s[TK] Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thermal Detonator The grey pipe supplied by Anovos is exactly 190mm. I remove 2mm from each end of the pipe. After fit up with end caps, thermal detonator overall length is 186mm. For the screw for metal clips, i cannot find #6 pan head slotted screw. The closest i can find is with a philips head. The screw head will be painted black later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
