darthkenny[TK] Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Belt done. Stickers and fabric behind pull boxes added Big question; anyone think of a reason I can’t glue this, rather than rely on Velcro? I glued my ot tk arm’s stepping and have never had an issue taking them on or off or storing them inside the shins.

The Anovos armour is meant to come with pouches and I’m still holding out that it will ship eventually, so there may be another local trooper who could use these more than me? (If the anovos pouches are junk, or delays continue to the point where I eventually feel I have to jUmp suppliers I might try my luck and come back to you...). Thanks again.

darthkenny[TK] Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Velcro addedHad to change the shoulder Velcro to be tabs. Lots of unpicking but it wasn’t quite long enough to use the Velcro on the sleeves. I don’t have little arms but despite looking alright during construction the biceps feel a bit loose. Also have to change the clips on the spats. I went with putting the snaps on top so I didn’t have to risk damaging the paint job but it looks a bit budget for my ocd levels.

Because if you needed to repair something gluing them would make the repair process that much more involved. 2 cents 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Getting closer to the exciting end of the build, and looking very good there Kenton, keep up the great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkenny[TK] Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Done, turns out a couple of snaps are crap and need to upgrade a magnet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Beautiful. Helpful suggestions: The cod could be trimmed down a bit and the leading edge of the thigh should cross the center of the thigh (though not sure there's much you can do about it without major work) Reference photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw how big it was was in these photos. I have actually already chopped some of the top off, so now it will hopefully look better. Haven’t worn the new cod yet as this is harder to put on than ottk, but it looks more like the screen used hanging on a hanger now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkenny[TK] Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Of course now I see the thighs need to rotate in a bit. Just a matter of sliding then on the belt.
