Pyrates[TK] Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ah so this is a new change. I thought something was different with this diagram. So does this mean the 22x22 doesn't apply anymore? and instead it's whatever it takes for the notch to line up with the front of the butt plate? That's right mate!

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think it looks cleaner to be able to extend the notch to be flush with the butt plate. I'll be doing this on my sandtrooper since I use shims. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troopacoola[TK] Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Sorry. A bit off topic but just had this conversation with the Mrs..... Joanne....."I've moved your books and put them beside mine. The only thing that's doing my head in, is that they're now mixed up" me " what do you mean?" "Well, I need to sort it, you have yours next to my Karin Slaughter books." Me "ok" joanne "well, I've now got fiction mixed up with non fiction." For the record, my books are: The Star Wars vault Star Wars costumes the OGW The ultimate Star Wars guide Star Wars archives Non fiction?.....I have taught you well baby.......unless you view Slaughter as non fiction. In that case I'm screwed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrates[TK] Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Alright mates - time for an update! Firstly, Tony brought up valid information on the kidney notch that I posted earlier so I wanted to ensure everyone is aware: However, as stated in another thread, if you were in the assembly process during the decision process we will not hold this against you, which ever way you made your notch. So if you built your notches in the non- approvable "C" Image during this time it will be allowed through. Here's that diagram again: Edited June 10, 2016 by Pyrates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Progress report on the armor After last weekends troop, I found that my left rivet side gap had opened up so I have tightened things up using 2" black elastic and E-6000. Things are looking good now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Definitely going to need some paint touch ups but that will come after this weekend's troop - then no more troops till I get approval for Centurion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Work to recreate return edges is still ongoing.

Pyrates[TK] Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I have also ordered new s-trim to clean up the bottom side of my bucket.

TK 2759[501st] Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm actually going to try mounting it inside of my back plate May make others who are in front of you harder to hear you... And those in back, easier to hear you... Personally, I haven't mounted it anyplace, just let it hand around my neck under the neckseal, and under chest plate... It's low so that its just between chest and ab. Just some thoughts for you my friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
