tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Hey troopers. My first shadow build. Started with this BBB here. Got some rough trimming out the way All pieces cleaned and rough trimmed 1 Quote
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Posted March 8, 2021 Notice the differences between the bucket that comes with the kit and the one that comes by itself. The one with the kit is a little smaller but doesn't have tube stripes or the appropriate hovi tips. Quote

The one with the kit is a little smaller but doesn't have tube stripes or the appropriate hovi tips. That’s really strange, the differences in size and no tube stripes. What’s the difference between the hovi tips? I don’t think the picture is clear enough. I was looking at an Anovos shadow kit myself, but I’ve been afraid with all the issues with QC lately. It’ll be cool to see how yours goes. 1 Quote

It’ll be cool to see how yours goes. The Anovos bucket has the appropriate mesh on the screens while the kit one has the smaller tighter mesh screen. I have the new ones from @ukswrath I will be adding to the kit helmet. 2 Quote

tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Posted March 10, 2021 And for some people if they get anything at all from them it seems. I seen some people state they been waiting years for there kits they ordered that's just crazy. 1 Quote

The weave is still too small for the higher level of approval. When in doubt you can check with the Spec Ops website. Keep up the great work David 2 Quote

Motogpnut Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Yeah. I can see very clearly the different in the mesh. Really looking forward to seeing you build this. Definitely want to get a shadow myself. Plus the Spec ops are just a great bunch of people. 1 Quote
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Posted March 12, 2021 Received some new s trim earlier I will be adding to my TX & TK. Thanks @ThayNerd 1 Quote
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Posted March 12, 2021 Slapped the new trim in and looks good. Be careful around the teeth area of your bucket because its pretty thin there and can crack easily. 2 Quote
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Posted March 18, 2021 Today I got some trimming done. Hand guards and the chest plate. Here's tools I used. 1 Quote
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Posted March 18, 2021 I will do the same strapping as I did for my TK. 2 Quote
