Help! My armour is too small
TrooperD replied to TrooperD's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Brilliant thanks very much -
Hi guys and gals. Been hitting the gym for time now and last troop out showed my armour no longer fits to well. I'm looking to price a new set of thighs and biceps for my ATA armour. Can anyone point to me in the right direction?<br><br> Cheers.

An excellent read and very inspiring, well done to all involved. -
Here's my Doopy's build if your interested. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25102-my-doopys-build/?p=315869

Hi all, final adjustments made and we should be good to go. Added elastics to the cuffs and ankles on the under suit, to help stop bunching at the elbows and knees. Must say this works a treat, so much better now. Holster blind rivets changed to pop rivets, and tan straps in the correct place too. Had to double pop the shoulder bells top and bottom, changed the elastic link to the bicep for a canvas one and changed the canvas link from the bell to the shoulder strap to elastic. Had problems with the bell coming detached a couple of times but this was mainly due to the bell rising and sitting on top of the bicep. Then when I moved a certain way the bicep would then push the bell upwards and become detached. Problem seems to have been solved by basically swapping the links around, stopping the bell from moving above the bicep and allowing a bit of stretch in the top of the bell.

Holster adjusted and E11 finished. All ready to try out and no better way than getting out there with it on. Went along to Collectormania at Braehead Arena, Glasgow UK and bumped into some of the UKG I'm on the right.... Had an absolute blast, speaking to the guys and interacting with the public. It was a great experience and also let me know how the suit was holding up. Just a couple of adjustments to make to the shoulder bells and biceps and we are all good. I will post up some pics of the adjustments and submit my clearance photos. Cheers to everyone at Braehead, it was awesome.

TM Junior and ESB Boba Junior , go trooping
TrooperD replied to SW1's topic in Field Training Exercises
Truly amazing, great job. -
Hi LePaul. Here is the guide I used but I have to say that it didn't quite work out for my left bicep, take another look at page1 for this. Luckily this guide worked just and only just for the left forearm. Take your time and try on your forearms plenty of times with tape to get the right size. The two halves don't match up perfectly but that's ok as you cut the cuffs off anyway.

Dummy run pics for viewing prior to the clearance submission, let me hav' it, warts 'n' all. Thanks for all the help and advice guys. Almost there, almost there... Oh by the way, Mr Haggis has already pointed out that the holster straps to the belt a re riveted incorrectly and this has now been rectified.

Cheers Glen, working away on the blaster right now and whitening the canvas belt. Photos coming soon!

Doopys E11 kit arrived, so Im going to throw myself into building this so I can submit for clearance and get trooping. And will get some pre-submition pics taken this weekend for critique and see where I need to make adjustments.

Had to try it on and get some pics, super excited and can see the end in sight. So here are the pics I used for my signature (had to play around there too)... ...and not forgetting my amazing wife who had put up with all those lonely nights, sat in while I was in the shed and then saw fit to destroy her kitchen, living room, hallway, bedroom and just about everywhere in the house with bits of TK and plastic cuttings.

Couldn't go without thanking Kit Summerfield in the UKG and Hero Workshops International for the excellent job on the holster, well worth it and super fast service.

Hand guards finally glued and sticking, phew. Big thanks to Karin Sonnenschein here on the FISD, for these and her help that proved spot on.
