Dave Gilmore . RWA 2mm Capped ANH STUNT wip ( maidstone )


Recommended Posts

Did you use nylon or elastic for the bell to bell strap? And how do you like it? I tried doing it with some elastic and I was t happy with the look. You seem to have no problems with it so I figured maybe I can get some pointers if I redo mine.

My elastic basicly joins bothe bells together behind the neck area and under the neck seal :)

Size of my shoulders etc and stupid frame lol .
Webbing kept on pulling on the shoulder bridge webbing . So after a few pointers i went with the elastic and works great :)
Feels good to . I may add a snap on each bridge webbing to stop any movement but i dont think its going any where .

Another option was to join both bridge webbing with the elastic then attach the bells on there own using the original popper method .

Follow up question I probably should have included in the original post... what width elastic is it? And is it connected directly in the center of the bells at the top?

35 /38 mm

Its what ive used for the strapping throughout and what i initiall intended to use when joining the bells individually .

Popper base is in the same place to . Just at the top of the shoulder bell

Its at this point both bells are linked together :)

 

Hope that helps mate

It does thank you. Think I used a smaller elastic and maybe that’s why it didn’t go as planned.

Congrats, trooper Dave. :jc_doublethumbup:

 

If you want to update your title on a PC, just hover over the title and you should get an option to amend it. 

 

If you're on Tapatalk, I believe you can go to the first post and you should see "edit post" or "edit title" :duim:

Thanks for the links  . Can anything be seen apart from the kidney that may be an issue

Went back in your thread to peruse some of your photos. Some observations:

  • Your cover strips on the forearm are extending past the edge. You should trim them down.
  • Your thighs are sitting a bit low. You should wear them a bit higher if you can.
  • Your left shin and thigh are not aligning. Just pay attention to that when you suit up
  • Your butt plate is coming up a bit and not sitting directly under the kidney plate.

I think just the cover strips could hold you back from EIB. Didn't go all the way back to hunt for your helmet or blaster photos. Just make sure you read the L2 requirements for the CRL and check out some approved EIB costumes using RWA as well. The DOs will give you official feedback!

Thanks for the reply .

Thighs are at max with out shimming . 

Cover strips have actually been sanded back so that they are all flush with the edge of the armor
