Copper[TK] Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I got my neck seal and holster from Darman (Darman's Props on FB I believe). I had to modify the bib a bit, but the neck part is the tricky part to sew and they did a nice job. Check the threads for ongoing sales.

68Brick[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Looking Good Jeremy. Let's see a pic with your kit on and your belt done up snugly, checking for side seam alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'm hoping to get my shins and TD done in the next couple of days. I'll do some full kit shots with everything on, and I hope to get some feedback. Thanks for taking a look.

Copper[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Gloves are done! E6000 peeled off the rubber as soon as I moved them, and CA glue just soaked into the fabric backing on the back of justjoseph's hand guards (which are excellent, BTW). What worked was this: the E6000 from my first attempt had stuck onto the fabric backing and wouldn't come off. The CA glue stuck to the gloves and that E6000. I accidentally found something that worked!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Shins hiccup. I'm trying to line up the knee plate but the right side doesn't line up. I've PM'ed TM, but does anybody have any suggestions in the meantime?Left side lines up great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Take a look at what others have done in the approved Centurion applications. Looks to me like some have trimmed right at that angle and others have simply glued it on with it and made it work. Personally, I would trim it, which would make the two sides a bit more symmetrical.

Copper[TK] Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I got a message back from TM. It's right as it is. His FB page points out that the right side is longer than the left, so I wanted to check before trimming it down. Thanks TM.

Harbinger[IPM] Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I believe I had to trim mine down for it to look right FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi Jeremy, Looking really good!! Great job :-) Just a couple of really small things I noticed. 1/ it looks like your right arm (left from front in pics) is higher than your left arm, leaving a bigger gap near the glove. 2/ you could possibly rotate your biceps by an inch or so to line up the side detail through shoulder, bicep, forearm. Superb looking armour on you! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper[TK] Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Yeah, I noticed the bicep alignment as I was taking everything off. I'll be sure to fix that for my submission photos. I'll take a look at the right arm spacing as well to even them out. Thanks for the input!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
