Big lesson learned... put the biceps into the shoulder bells FIRST lol. Didn’t do that for the test, so it was uncomfortable and wonky, but everything seems to be coming along nicely. So close...

Realized I messed up as soon as I did it. I’ll fix it after Halloween.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Looks good. Biceps look a bit low when your wearing it, is that cause the issue with putting it on? They look perfect in the shot of them alone. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah... I wasn’t able to fit the bells over them after I had put them on. Doing a Another go when my wife gets home and can help.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not sure about anyone else but I leave mine as one unit. I put them in as if they are one piece if that makes sense.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139[501st] Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Gotta love the wives helping out. I think my wife was done with gearing me up by the time o got approved. I have my bells permanently attached and then attach the biceps. That might be changing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Alright... I’m ready for Halloween! I’ll be standing stationary for sure... but it feels so good and amazing when it all comes together!!!After Halloween issues to fix. Need to add Tony’s hooks to the back of my shins.Need to fix the sniper knee plate. Got that issue where it ticks into the thigh.Cod strap is half the length it needs to be.Also need to paint the back leg cover strips Anovos white.I’m sure there’s more but I’m pleased thus far. Good god it’s hard to see out of. Further critique is welcome.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 You may want to add a little foam behind your sniper plate to hold it away from your thigh, it looks as if it may hit. Go out and have a blast, you definitely will know what will hit and bite once you have worn the suit for a while and interacted with younglings. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Halloween candy hand out was a success. A lot of happy kids and adults. And a lot of lessons learned. I have a newfound respect for all those that troop. After 2.5 hours of standing, I was in pain, lol. Much respect indeed. Granted my armor is still not optimal for movement until I can adjust it after basic approval.Key takeaways...Wow, it’s hard to see. And my left lens was continually fogged. Not fun.My thighs still need work. My rigging system won’t adequately hold them up. Part of the problem is the rear cut in to my butt cheeks. I guess the option is to trim the back top shorter?I put foam behind the knee plate but alas, dropping thighs didn’t help.Not much movement in the arms. Need to figure out how to gain more mobility.Shins and my fat calves still worry me. I plan on using the hook method. This is the last item I need to do. I just don’t know if it will work well. This next armor party I might ask for more expert opinion.My Velcro system throughout the armor held up surprisingly well. Might add some snaps once final fitting is squared away.Overall I can almost taste approval! Last night was a blast. I’m paying for it in my shoulders today though...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's funny how we critique the heck out of our armor and yet all the fans see is a STORMTROOPER! Nice job Sean 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Nice to see you had fun! Just wanted to suggest you secure the dropboxes with glue or velcro to ensure they stay in place aligned with the ends of the ABS belt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
