Engineering trooper[TK] Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Ok, so here are the pictures. Thought these were ready for submission, but noticed after getting out of armour that the sniper plate was under the thigh, so that is one issue that will need to be corrected and take new photos. So, take a look, and let me know what you think. Pretty close for submission I hope. Thanks for any input! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewpewpew[TK] Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Awesome! Yup, just a bit of foam behind the shin to push the sniper plate out, or some foam in the back of the thigh to bring it back, and TA-DA! You're golden. Looking like a million bucks.

68Brick[TK] Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Looking Good Jim. It looks like your sniper plate is still leaning back (after looking at other RT-MOD builds, it seems to be a common thing), which is contributing to it getting caught under the thigh. I'd remove it and re-attach it again. Keep the ends where they are, but bring the center bottom of the sniper plate down a few centimeters on the front cover strip. It should help with the angle. The plate should be on the same plane as the front of the shin. That and a little padding and your legs are in good shape. How are the stairs with the adjustments and with carving out the back of your thighs? Your shoulder bells can come in a little bit towards your shoulder straps too. Easy fix.

Engineering trooper[TK] Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Unfortunately having a real hard time with the sniper plate move out, even using the foam. E6000'd the snot out of it, hoping it will hold... More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magni[TK] Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I left mine alone for 2 days to make sure it fully cured before I moved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineering trooper[TK] Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Took Randy's advice and let the sniper plate sit for 2 days, made a big difference! Submitted my pictures today for approval, awaiting the decision... Here's some updated ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
