TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 VERY VERY AWESOME!!!!! well done!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 nice one Peter! Thanks for that! I'm sure R2 is good at making coffee - I can't tell for sure though, as I don't drink any coffee The whole armour is non acrylic capped abs, yep. Looks pretty good though, I like it - and it flexes quite nicely yet feels very firm at 1,5mm only... quality stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Great job on the armor Dan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just put a strip of thin foam on the back of the thighs. it keeps the front close to your leg and reduces the problem. I was going to try that exactly Way to go! I have no mesh too Just use a balaclava to cover the face inside the helmet (and which can also help in taming your heavy-metal hair!!! ) I have a balaclava for troops, didn't put it on for the pics though... my hair is not that much of a problem actually... as you can see on the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Oh, by the way - will my EIB picture get upgraded now? I have all the pics in a higher resolution as well, if that helps at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitartrooper[501st] Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sure looked like a shoo-in for EIB, mate. Great job, and welcome to the elite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Finally managed to get some new pics taken at the children's birthday troop yesterday. They show how the armour looks now that the chest and backplate are connected to the abdomen and kidney. sits even better now I'd say (had to take the detonator off cause them kids wouldn't leave it alone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
