ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hey Dana looking good. If I make a couple suggestions, if shooting for higher levels of accuracy you'll need to move the TD clips around a bit. They should sit just below the control panel and butted up against the end caps. The screws should also be flat head, slotted and painted black as seen here in the reference photo. As for your waist belt if you plan on shooting for Centurion your drop boxes will need to be positioned so that the are aligned with the outer most edge and just below the ammo belt as seen here. The easiest way to keep them there is to simply glue the connecting strap directly to the cloth belt. Note: The drop box should reside just below the ammo belt despite what the photo shows. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Thanks Ukswarth! I may take another crack at the clips, but or I will probably end up having to order some better clips for Centurione. I wondered about the belt box placement. They will be glued to the belt now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46325[TK] Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Massive progress this week. Still some adjustments to be made, but I was able to put the kit on minus the holster (which is in progress of be stained) for a test fitting. I hope to be able to take app pics by next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 It looks like you haven't strapped the forearms and biceps together and the forearms are resting on your hands. If you have, the gap is too big. They should butt up together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if I was going to strap the forearms or add some padding to keep them in place, but I think straps are going to be the better option.

46325[TK] Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wow, when you get down to the end it all just comes together at once. Thursday's shop night was the cherry on the top of this Sunday. I have submitted my pics to the garrison. I have tweaks to make before I even think about Expert Infantryman or Centurion, but I wanted to get done in time to troop at DragonCon this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
