Lafleur

For anyone following this thread I have gotten basic approval on my suit and at the moment aiming for Expert and Centurion. Also a big thank you to everyone that have contributed with input and good ideas during my build! You and this community are priceless 🤍 A special warm thank you goes to my supporting mentor and fellow Swedish Garrison TK @Nairy

@Doggydoc Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your input. Sadly I have a very long neck. I have zero padding in the top of the helmet so it’s laying directly on my head with just the balaclava. So this is the best I can do I’m afraid 😥 Regarding the position of the belt it’s noted and will be addressed in coming fittings and pictures. I am at the moment preparing everything for Expert and hopefully Centurion. Once more a big thank you!

Quick test fit on the upper body armor. What do you guys think?

Rivets mounted (right side out) also the shoulder straps are glued on:

Update on the knee plate:

Sorry for the lack of updates. Ive been doing som small adjustments and fixing the strappings for the ab and backplate so they position better. now they don’t move that much over my two abs 😂

it’s not fitted, just used it so the boxes would stay in place. The side you see is the back and this is the front. And these are correct right??

Hey guys. Before I press the fittings for the knee boxes. Did my efforts turn out okay? It was super hard getting it where I wanted and I’m a bit off. But what do you think, okay for centurion? 🙂 @Nairy @TKSpartan @gmrhodes13 ** and I know, the press fittings are wrong side out. I’m just using them like that as support to see how it turned out and get your opinion …

Is there a recommended width for the shoulders or anything to keep in mind before gluing them on? Wanting to apply for both Expert and Centurion so would rather do it right the first time.

🙂 work continues and the build is slowly taking shape. Everything goes slower as many steps are small adjustments rather than big pieces. GLOVES: UPPER LEGS: On the right one I’m a bit unsure regarding the knee pack. Before I drill a hole at the wrong place I’ll ask here. Is placement right? Is there anything to keep in mind? Got a suggestion that @TKSpartan may have useful insight? 🙂 Off course all others with helpful thoughts are more than welcome too.

I’m actually following that picture for the strapping. And a few other tips. It’s just so much and a lot of different ideas of doing the same. Somehow need to find the right way for me 🙂

You’re a life saver and great guide through this @Nairy I appreciate it a lot and look forward to rolling up in line with you on troops in shining white 😃 btw, where is your strapping video 😅 got dragged in and suddenly it ended, no more to watch!

Getting great help with adjusting, trimming the ab and kidney plates. What’s your opinion? LEFT SIDE: RIGHT SIDE:

Some work with the belt. Now it got a holster. Need some boxes too…
