Hi Thomas, lets try it. I have done something similar days ago, just add the white paint and when dry, try to clean the wire surface with a cloth and a little of mineral spirits or something that remove the paint. cheers

A quick suggestion is about your Ab to kidney rivets, they should be painted white the same for the thigh ammo pack rivets cheers

Hi Nate, As Glenn pointed, it's better to see your photos directly into the post, you can use Imgur , Google Photos as well or any app of your preference. Here a couple of links: Cheers

Go Go Go Trooper !! Do it for You, Do it for the Empire. looking forward for your progress !!

Welcome aboard Ana. !! Good luck with your project

Hi, thank for the photo. From my point of view , What I would do is 2 options: 1 Option - Try to raise up the back plate a little more by shrinking the white strap conecction and trimming the neck section to allow the Back plate to level up ------------- 2 Option : This is the most challenging I think. It's trimming the Kidney's lower section and tray to make an little return edge with and iron ---------- Hope this can help. cheers

Hello Art, Welcome to FISD, best wishes for your daughter's recovery and good luck with your armor.

Hi Thomas, As per the Crl States: OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Back plate shall have no, or minimal overlap of the kidney plate. High level approval will depends on how much overlap your back plate / kidney has. Posting a photo would help us to give you a better response. Cheers

Hi Philip, Great to view your Centurion Application. I would suggest you to add your EIB application Link and a close photo of your ab buttons armor section that I'm sure the D.O. team will surely ask you for. Good luck with your approval !!

I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding , my english skill are not good enough. But, the advantage of using E6000 is that you can remove the piece, clean the dry glue , adjust and reglue again. i'm sure you're going to do it great. cheers

Lokking good, but what about the armor pinching?

Hello, welcome to FISD future Trooper!!!

Amazing Trooper, you did an extraordinary change!! Congratulations, go ahead.

Don't worry, we are here to help. About the hot water bath for your shoulder bridges , I think It could be a good idea to a test with a loose piece of ABS to practice. good luck !!

Hi, The following photo shows an Anovos Armor (centurion approved) so you can take a look to the back of thighs Cheers

Great mate!! My ABC of building an Armor is usually : 1- Trimming and sanding all pieces 2- Taping Biceps, forearms , thighs and shins with painters tape to adjust size. (trimming again where necessary) 3- Cutting and gluing cover strips 4- Snaps 5 -Straps, pre assembly 6- 1st try with inner black clothes 7- Final Adjustment I would suggest to check out the ATA building threads to take and idea of what to expect and see what questions have been answered already and the following return edges post that can be so useful. Here is an ATA building thread that you can check. Good luck and looking forward for your advances. Cheers

Congratulations Paul and to your Wife! I have no an story like yours cause I'm in sports since I was 18's (now 49) . Even I'm not so young, I'm still enjoy going to the Gym and running almost four days a week. This year my youngest son (14) is coming with me to the gym and this make me feel so proud and encourages me to be a better example for him. Everything starts with a decision , one step after another and suddenly you realize how much you have advanced and you don't want to go back. Go go go Trooper, there's no way back !! congratulations again.

Just a suggestion for your thighs: You may try trimming a little more the back section to help minimize the armor bite.

So cool Congratulations !

Congratulations !! We all FISD are happy for you!! looking forward for your unboxing !!!

Hi, it's not, but I would recommend you to put on your chest-back armor to see the complete assemble. cheers

Hi Tina, you're doing a great work, take your time, step by step and keep on posting your advance an get so useful tips here. The first part of an armor build is the most challenging cause everything needs to fit the best as possible . trimming and return edges are always critical i think. I would like to suggest you to check the following forum post, I'm sure it's going to be so useful as it has been to me. Cheers,

Great Mod. looking cool!!

Welcome to FISD Kyle. Be sure to take a look to this additional forum section before you buy your armor. Cheers
