  1. Some references for you
  2. looking good to me.
  3. Browsing the FO Armors section I found a couple of threads for you, take a read mainly in the first section where they explain the materials and tools needed. Both mention the Epoxy they used.
  4. Additional to Glen's be sure to place the Ab section first. 10mm from edge and aprox 20mm (from center of the rivet) from top and from bottom
  5. No problem. and nice job with the handguards
  6. Welcome to FISD. good luck and looking forward for some photos !
  7. Welcome to FISD. Good luck and looking forward for your advances !!
  8. It looks good for a starting cut. Once you make a test fit you will see if you need additional trimming references
  9. Awesome!! Great work, Congratulations Trooper! Keep it up.
  10. Once you test the shoulder bridges you could try to let them longer to allow the chest and back to get lower.
  11. Hi Matt, Overall you look great. It seems to me that you could try suiting up again an raise a little the back plate (AM kit have the back plate corners a little lower than other kits) . The plan B would be to apply some heat to bend them (hot water bath or heat gun). If you check your photos from October 30 -2022 , you will see that the back plate is sitting flush.
  12. In my builds I have used a plier or a rubber hammer on a hard surface. Or you can use a tool like below https://www.amazon.com/Leather-LANMOK-Replacement-Repairing-Decoration/dp/B07F9S7YP4/ref=sr_1_14?crid=11TZYF9H8D9WP&keywords=single%2Bcap%2Brivets%2Binstall%2Btool&qid=1689892613&sprefix=single%2Bcap%2Brivets%2Binstall%2Btool%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-14&th=1
  13. Hi, 1. I bought the sew on snaps for the shoulder bell/shoulder bridge connection to copy what my original RS suit has. Am I able to use the line 24 snaps for this instead? YES you can 2. Attaching the knee ammo belt. Am I correct in assuming that I should drill the holes into the ammo belt first (see pic for where I intend to put these) then, using these holes, mark the drill spots on the thigh armour when lined up? This chart would help you to check the ammo pack location and then make the holes. And this references for the accurate position of the rivets
  14. Enjoy the experience and in a future you can upgrade it , step by step we are here to help when you're ready.

  16. It's always refreshing to read such enthusiastic you are. As you rightly say " one step at a time" once you finish your armor , as many of us have done, another costume comes to mind ! It's a never ending story. Keep up the enthusiasm and great work !
  17. What you would need to change for higher levels is the AB buttons plate, your Has no return edge Reference images Original screen used RS prop Master Armor Plan B would be to add an ABS plastic piece behind it, fill the seams with ABS paste and sand it. Here's a tutorial on how to make the ABS paste.
  18. Hi Alex, and thank you for your Centurion application!

  20. No worry, you can open a building thread here or into the German Garrison forum or Here to receive tips and feedback. You can change the helmet and Ab plates in the future to be more accurate and to apply for higher levels badges. We are here to help.
