Alrighty then! Erick you have done a nice job with your build. I did receive your PM on the ECG forum but I like to do my TK responding here at my real TK home. So listen, I know Glen has been giving you advice all along during your build. Well here he is giving you amazing advice again. I can tell you he is certainly pushing you towards the higher levels of approval and you should no doubt go all of the way. However, I would like to touch on a couple of his points that he made that I would like to see done before you submit to us. Could you address the excess paint on the ab buttons, the excess plastic on the cod and finally the bend in the plastic cover of the belt. For the ab buttons you should be able to put some paint thinner on a q-tip and take some off pretty easily. On the cod just take some sandpaper and sand that off a little more. Finally the belt cover maybe you could use a heat gun or hair dryer to try and bend it a little more on the ends? Specifically the left side. These shouldn't take too much time and then you should be ready to go for our eyes! Honestly have worse looking sets of armor been approved for basic then yours? Absolutely. But you have done such a nice job building yours that I don't to do a disservice to you on these minor fixes that will make your armor really look amazing for basic approval. So that is why I am going to ask you to do them. Finally, I highly encourage you to work on all of Glen's recommendations because after basic approval you should be able to go EIB very shortly soon after with a few tweaks. When you submit, please include Photos of all sides of your helmet, all sides of your E-11, all sides of you dressed in your armor, an "action shot", and then a bucket off photo. I can't wait to see your submission. Thank you for making the GML job easy.

Hi Jason. I'm trying to look into this for you. It looks like you should have all of the permissions. I'll research more and let you know.

Just to go back a minute to the armor white. I just so happened to take my MTK out of my helmet bag earlier today and here is a current photo of it next to my troopermaster helmet which is actually older then the MTK. Now mind you I've done the armor white on this helmet now 3 times and it keeps coming back. The last time I did it was before the last troop and then I put it right back into this bag. So what does this all tell me? I certainly believe it comes down to the type of plastic used. I'm not sure what type of plastic MTK uses. And also I think that once it yellows then the armor white is only a temporary fix. Unless @TK-4510 says differently.

Couldn't agree more with all of this. This buy 1 get 1 offer always makes people want to jump on this armor but it really is no where near as good as our approved armor list and even a good handful of non approved armor sets out there. I'm sorry you spent your money on this junk.

Brian how tall are you? You will need to have some go under for sure in order for it to look right. But of course you have to make it work with your height.

If you wanted to you could just sand down those shoulder bridges a tad. Nothing crazy. What kit are those bridges from? And for the cod, I would round it off some. Just make sure it’s comfortable no matter what you do.

Honestly I think the only long term fix would be to paint the armor. I've done the whitening job about 4 times on my backup ESB helmet and it comes back every time. It's okay because I don't really use it. But my armor is the same plastic as that helmet and I've done the whole suit twice now. So I'm almost to the point that I will just be upgrading my armor this fall. My armor is already 5 years old. I will also say it certainly comes down the type of plastic that was used. I got my first helmet from troopermaster which is over 5 years old and it has not yellowed at all. My ESB helmet and my everyday armor is MTK. If I stand next to a newer set of armor you can really tell how yellow I am.
