So I learned the following and I will post photos shortly: 1. Line of sight / visibility is tight so definitely walk around and get a feel for everything. 2. Putting armour on is tricky at first but you can get the hang of it with experience - challenge is are the snaps and trying to do it when you can’t see it. 3. Keeping things straight and perfect - I was not perfect on the first try but you can quickly see where you may need help and extra pair of hands. 4. I want to send photos but I need some time to clean up on the IT side. If someone has an email/text I can send something if you really want to see it…but I need to still do some reconfiguring of my laptop. next steps: second assembly and photos for sending through for comments / approval. I have Halloween and one of my clients is a TV station and we discussed doing the weather report on Halloween (LOL). No pressure! talkto everyone soon. Here's a great thread on how to post images via a free online image host You will often find with custom made armor that you need to adjust strapping or trim some pieces. Having a full length mirror can help when taking your approval photos, especially when your photographer is not aware of what to look out for. We do have a pre approval thread you may wish to post in to get some feedback before reaching out to your GML (garrison membership liaison) https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/191-tk-pre-approvals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the close ups and side and back views. I also have a cheat sheet that I created that I created based on what I saw on the other forums (especially with photos showing with lines good and bad assemblies). I will be redoing the dress up adjusting a few obvious things I saw. (Ie alignment, straightening out belts, etc.) Should have this done this weekend for the first round submission. by the way - fan is very very important in the helmet! Man it got hot in there! have a great week everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it appear as an attachment or can you see it as part of the text - size wise it is small enough. IMG_0010 Small.heic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems my cybersecurity program is preventing me to use Imgur 101 - coming up as Blocked site - in fact going on this forum I have to use my phone. Is there another website/program available that I can use? (I have looked at resetting preferences, etc. so nothing seems to be working). any suggestions?
