After about 3 lightly brushed coats on the stencil. The last coat maybe was 4 hours later I slowly peeled away stencil. came out perfect.

popped stitch out so I can make a new strap to slide on the belt. Also went back and colored in the white stitching black.

Here's how they look now. I just used a black sharpie to color over the white stitching.

Both forearms ready for test fitting and more trimming and sanding. 

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Added straps to the back of pouches. I plan on adding a reinforcement strap also.

If you run into troubles with the elastic peeling away I suggest using nylon webbing and rivet them on.

That was going to be my second option if this just doesn't do well. I already feel little iffy about the stability of it. But am just going to roll with it until it fails I guess.

 I am one happy trooper right now. My skull bucket finally arrived.

[ukswrath[Staff]]

awesome!

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Ok these forearms are ready for tomorrow.

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Put the pouches on my belt just to see how they felt and looked and they look pretty good so far. Still going to do a reinforcement strap on it also.

Painting these clips and TD tube. This is just a flat black primer coat then will go over with a black gloss.

Reinforcements for the back of the belt plate.

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Marked spots on the belt through the holes on the belt plate.

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Cover strip for forearms being done.

Also did the ab buttons

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Little before and after of the sharpie trick @ukswrath mentioned. Does make a difference.

Hoping to have the thermal detonator done tomorrow

Way easier. But still time consuming.
