Billhag replied to tkrestonva's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Brian looking good mate Have you tried fixing straps to the inside of the abb / chest and kidney / back like this it might help to keep it in place better;- I have it on mine and it works perfect, worth a try mate -
Pat I'm not an electrician but all you will be doing is connecting wires with the solder so any soldering iron will be OK

TK-1650 Requesting Elite Status.[37][TM]
Billhag replied to Billhag's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Sorry Paul, Its those naughty new boys from the MEPD coming over here and causing havoc Aaron Thanks mate ...arrh, now my secret identity as been revealed,.....darn those pesky kids!! -
A good little trick that a plumber showed me while working with silicone (not on an MRCE that sprang a leak by the way ) was to run a tiny amout along the seam / join that you want to seal, then dampen a finger with 'White Spirit' ang run it over the top of it.This smooths it out and also makes the line consistent throughout. I've used 'White Spirit' on ABS with no problems, but I would always recommend that you try it on a blind spot / inside piece to test for possible reactions

Requesting ANH Elite Status - TK8847 DSG
Billhag replied to ::TK8847::'s topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Todd Looking good mate I think Scott, Terrell and Paul will ask you to post or link the pictures on here so everyone can see them. Here's a couple of things that I noticed. 2 x Additional T-Track needed on blaster Also just noticed no 'D' ring Belt details The only rivets showing on the belt should be for the holster attachment. The Ammo section should really be attatched on to the belt with no rivets showing. (and not the other way around) with one cap cover at either end and one in the center heres an example Helmet details You should have some shots showing details of front, sides & back so that the correct paint details can be seen in the traps,the Aerators,and that all screw heads are painted white. Also, not forgetting a shot of the green lenses. Butt / Kidney section split You might want to take a clear shot of this as you can only see it a little bit on your side shots Other then those little bits, its looking bloody good mate Hopefully have you joining the Elite in no time -

TK-8224 requesting ANH elite status!.[46][ap]
Billhag replied to TK-8224's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Lisa Brilliant set up, it looks fantastic The only things that I can see are as follows The only other thing that I would say is your drop boxes, but because of your height I don't think you can do to much about them. Well done matey, it looks the bizzo -
Aaron Marcel had the same thing with his SDS and eventually decided to cut it down Its not an Elite requirement but it does make it look more screen accurate Here's my post to his question I couldn't find the photo of his one that he shortened, but it looks rather spiffin Hope this helps matey Oh and Congratulations Mark for your 1000th, every one a bloody gem mate

Nathan Well done Sir, fantastic set up, Elite all the way Congratulations mate -
how about these boots?
Billhag replied to Daric LaRone's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
They don't look too bad, but as the others have said, you may have problems with your shins riding over the top but they're cheaper than a lot out there ------- If you haven't got a photo hosting account and you want to paste a picture. Right click on the picture, select 'properties' In the Properties window go down to 'Address (URL)' and you'll see something like this which ends with 'jpg' ========== copy this. In your post reply, click on the 'Insert Image' icon (2nd one , next to the smileys) and then paste the --------- in the window. If you've done it correctly you should have these either side off the address I personally think they look good painted, and if they get scuffed up you can just touch up with sneaker whitener or just leave them like the originals -------- If you don't like the elastic to be patchy you don't have to replace them you can lighten them with a diluted bleech soloution prior to dying / painting them. I've done it and it works really well Hope this helps -

clarification - ABS-80 AP helmet story
Billhag replied to Heatshock's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Nate Nice helmet mate It definitely leans more towards the GF look with the bulgy side tubes Heres a quick shot of a GF Hero and when you put it next to a TE2 or AP you really do notice the difference ------------ -
Minimum Number of Stripes for AP Helmet
Billhag replied to mgraeme's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
....in my opinion, 14, 15 and 16 is just plain showing off Anything over 12-13 and it starts to look like the 'kill count' on the side of a P-51 Mustang Keep 'em chunky, keep 'em 12-13's -
