Per Tony's comment, no value added in this post.

Thanks for the links, Q. I hadn't thought to look over there but that makes sense. They deal with pouches much more frequently. I may try that RIT dye in the second thread. The results looked good and it didn't sound too complicated. Joseph, I thought I read somewhere that you wished you hadn't spray painted them. Maybe that was some else but as I remember it they were in a rush to get everything complete and decided to spray and weren't completely happy with the results. I just spray painted a bunch of clothes green for son's Toy Story plastic army man Halloween costume and the end result was pretty crusty and splotchy. Still, the pouches don't need to be as flexible so it seems like a viable option. Thanks for the recommendations.

I've been accumulating parts for my conversion of my TK to an HWT over the course of the last several weeks. I recently received my third Hyperfirm in the form of this DLT-19. I plan to mostly follow the ukswrath pack build so I found a really good deal on the oil drain pan and the Popit! containers. Acting on justjoseph's advice, I bought my pouches and pauldron from eBay sources. I actually have another pair of pouches on their way from the same seller so I can have two on my belt. I also went directly to the source and got a new belt, ammo belt and shoulder bridges from AP so I can keep my TK belt intact. I have a biker scout build in front of this one so I'll need to finish that up while I get the rest of the parts but I figured I'd post this here to ask for a recommendation. Obviously my pouches aren't the right color yet. Can anyone provide me with info on how they dyed their pouches? I've heard spray paint works in a pinch but I'd prefer to dye them if possible. What have people done that worked best. Thanks for any info you can provide. ----------

I know that that was a suggestion in my EIB feedback but I've seen several Centurion approvals where they're visible including two within the last month or so. I'm hoping that it's just a "nice to have" and not a requirement. It seems like it will be much more difficult to trim them and ensure they're square and round the corners and all of that now that they're put together. Seeing the recent approvals was actually what gave me the confidence to move forward with an approval. I was already looking at shortening my thighs, which fixed one of my EIB suggestions so that only left the paint on the right-side snap to fix.

To Tony's point, you can disregard this request. The thread can be closed or whatever. Nothing further required. Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the internal dimensions are something like 35x18x11. It's certainly pushed to the limit but I'm able to fit everything. There's no key like the big one but there are provisions to use a couple of padlocks. I've been contemplating building my TK into an HWT and that might be tough with the pauldron and pouches. Hopefully it'll all fit.<br><br> Allan, I definitely like the plaque. I'd like vet to get something like that.<br><br> Thanks all for the kind words. Now I gotta figure out the next project to work on.

Since I'm just sitting around waiting for my first-ever troop tonight, I figured I'd post some pictures of the TK storage/transport bin I've been working on for the last few days. I STRONGLY considered the large bin but wasn't sure it would fit through the door of my 300S and with the weight and size of it I wasn't sure I wanted to try to wrangle it in there. I "settled" on the smaller one once I assured that everything would fit and then I set out to outfit it. I bought a twin mattress topper on the recommendation of someone here and got three yards of a cool, thick fleece. Pretty much used every square inch of it, too. What do you think? ---------------

Thanks.

I love your thoroughness and I appreciate you taking the time. I had seen the RPF thread and that Jim mentions people as "small" as 5'6". I know his stuff is more flexible so maybe that includes it's ability to be sized for a wider range. I imagine with the relative rigidity of ABS, KB and Anovos don't have as much ability to accommodate that range--KB's on the larger side and Anovos more up the middle. I've already looked into KB on mitcheg1's recommendation (to go with my new helmet--yay!). Might need to take a closer look at Jim's stuff, too. Thanks for your info.

Is this confirmed? Only reason I ask is because Daetrin kind of said the opposite about Jim's in this thread (at the bottom of the first post): http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11377-where-to-buy-armor/?p=141730 I'm not questioning your information--just trying to clarify as I'm also a bit smaller and am in the market for a FOTK kit. If Jim's is indeed larger, that's probably troublesome for me. Although I don't have much interest in waiting a year for the Anovos kits.

Thanks.
