After it's white it needs uv protection like your car. Any polymer like abs will eventually yellow unless its protected. Most modern car detailing will do that. If you are outside with you suit on definitely. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk

Thanks for the suggestions I will add to my list and start posting pictures as I attack them.

I am 6'3". Any suggestions would help. I have done very little if any trimming on the body sections (makes me nervous) and thought I would put it all together (with velcro mainly) and start tweaking it.

First pictures of the fitment with it all together and all kinds of gaps and opportunities for improvement. Keep in mind, I have done very little or no trimming except a small amount were need to close some of the parts. As always I welcome the comments and pics are below (my wife still did not listen on how I wanted them to be taken, she will not be fired yet). My quick assessment: - Given my long torso I am getting some gaps between the back, kidney, and butt plates. Seems that I may be able to lower the back to correct. Thankfully I am using the elastic / Velcro that came with the suit so I can adjust before using an alternative. - Butt plate needs to be trimmed and heat formed, it sticks out on the sides. - Butt plate is still linked to the ab plate with elastic but digs in when it pull through. Possible trimming on the sides of the to easy the rubbing / biting. - Shoulder bells need to come forward. - Arms - Need to redo the bell/bicep/forearms with a longer piece of elastic It is not enough to measure when it comes to the elastic when it is connected to the bicep. - Little or no room under the bells. - Re-do the strapping for the front / back to improve the fitment and hopefully eliminate / narrow the gaps - Revisit the thighs measurement, they are just a little too long and can barely bend the knee with everything one. I may trim the inner thigh to improved to fit and mobility. - Thighs currently suspended with velcro front and back, need to build a garter system once the trimming / fitment is improved. - Replace existing rivets on battery pack thigh with cap rivets (splits) - Need some helmet fans, wow. sweaty - Paint inside of helmet black. - Fit the belt and measure for the snaps for attaching the belt. Currently velcro. - Sniper plate came a part on the outer side, so I may need to figure that one out. I read a screw / binding post mounted on the inside will make it more secure. - Kidney rivets need installing for screen accuracy. - Repaint front buttons with French Blue. - Thermal Detonator reconstructed for screen accuracy. - Right shin: Digs into the boots on the right side, need some sanding / or padding to reduce the rubbing. - Left shin rotates inward: I read about a button fix, will do that for both sides.

I used bifurcated have a pretty good hold. I removed the return edge of the bottom rear section of the thighs and that allow me some more movement. Would notching the back of the thigh at the bottom prevent a future application for Centurion status?

The holster rivets I added four split / bifurcated total included a washer on the back for support. I noticed that on the others. I originally used a blind rivet, obviously did not work well. I did not see the photos you reference, but I think I could find them. Regarding the sniper plate, its probably because I put the shins on too high around my calves (large from running / training) and pop. I will try gluing again though; however I may try a binding post if the whole thing comes off!

Butt plate extra material I am not sure I need and also not screen accurate. I will heat shape all three sides first.

My wife took some pics, but they are rather poor quality with her phone and I will need to redo on my own. Regarding the butt plate, I will take a pic of the edge that needs to be trimmed much later today which is similar to kidney plate edge (left side) that I trimmed that was excess. The fine tuning is actually pretty fun.

So I tried everything on last night and I have number of fitment issues below: - Given my long torso I am getting some gaps between the back, kidney, and butt plates. Seems that I may be able to lower the back to correct. Thankfully I am using the elastic / Velcro that came with the suit so I can adjust before using an alternative. - Butt plate needs to be trimmed and heat formed, it sticks out on the sides - Shoulder bells need to come in so I will add a another snap to the elastic to bring it closer. It is not enough to measure when it comes to the elastic when it is connected to the bicep. - Re-do the strapping for the front / back to improve the fitment and hopefully eliminate any gaps - Revisit the thighs measurement, they are just a little too long and can barely bend the knee with everything one. I may trim the inner thigh to improved to fit and mobility. - Need a helmet fan, wow. - Regular rivets on the holster will be replaced with split rivets because the holster came right off. - Fit the belt and measure for the snaps for attaching the belt. - Sniper plate came a part on the outer side, so I may need to figure that one out. I read a screw / binding post mounted on the inside will make it more secure. - Kidney rivets need installing for screen accuracy. - Thermal Detonator reconstructed for screen accuracy.

Do I choose one based personal preference? I am making anh e11 however I already have the m38a2 which a got from my grandfather (he had a box full of scopes). I noticed that the only place that a I saw an a2 was on a sandtrooper screen capture. So a bit of a mis-match since I want to be a tk. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk

Great thread, very helpful. I just tried my full armor on with just four Velcro elastic straps, two on each leg, suspended from the ab and butt plate. Its is a painful to attach but it does work but cannot imagine it long term and I intend to change it. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk

So if I have a deactivated Sterling, a M38A2 scope, proper T-tracks, and the Hengstler 400 counter, how do I decide which one to use for the E-11? Critieria? Preference? Thanks in advance.

Yes that one. I thought that is awkward looking, and it does look like a mistake. The screen captures I have done this morning on a frame by frame certainly show that some of these were rush jobs. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk

Thermal Detonator screen captures that I will be using to do some reconstructive surgery on my TD which may include adding a half inch to the TD to close the gap, move the clip so it does not abut the panel. I did notice in one of the screen captures the holster is held by two rivets and loop up and over instead of straight down. I guess that is another option.
