TK-42775[TK] Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 14 hours ago, gmrhodes13 said: You can also add some elastic to the top of the boots then snaps to the inside of the shin, works well and the elastic allows for some movement when stretching This was my original thought, But If you have seen what I am up to with my build I rarely do anything the "normal way" I was thinking of putting 2 buttons, one on each side of the ankle, and having the boots button to the shin plates.

Well, I have to admit, considering we're building 3 TK's at once, we have actually accomplished a great deal in just two weeks! Helmets - Done Thermal Detonators - Done Biceps & Forearms - Done Gloves - Done At this point, from a high level, we just have to complete the overall body armor, legs and belt. Granted, that includes some serious size trimming we're going to need to do for my brother's armor, and likely some minor adjustments for my son and I, but I'm really thinking we can get this done before the end of September so we can get our TK numbers, and then officially troop with our Everglades Squad brethren at a big event at the Florida Marlins game. If we wind up and missing it, it's OK as we'd rather not sacrifice quality for time (can you tell I'm a Project Manager?), but at least that's our target goal. So now for a few pictures.... Getting our biceps finished... We also added the bicep hooks afterwards (not pictured). My son and I had to go with some inner cover strips so we could extend the width of the biceps - For me because I work out, and for him because he will likely continue to grow! After a little more fit testing, then it's on to the forearms... The finished product... My son modeling his new arms... And today, we set up a trooper glove assembly line... Aiming for Centurion from the get go... Now to see what the next week brings!! Hello, Im not sure if my first message went trough. I just wanted to know what kind of glue you use to attached the hand guards to the gloves. We have the same ones from Mark Harrison but try different ones without success. Thanks for your help! lily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
