Dr.Senf Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) So here it is, my AP Armor 99 percent finished. It started with a big brown box. After checking all pieces and discovering some missing Parts i went shopping for tools and goodies. There are lists what you need so i dont list them here again.

MartinSivertsen[501st] Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 Looking real good, you certainly have an eye for detail, and Centurion is the way to go! Quote
OsotheBear Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 That's really cool, I ordered an AP too, can't wait for it to arrive! Quote
Dr.Senf Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Posted February 2, 2012 I like the set. Its my first build and i think due to all those minor and some huge issues with parts not lining up or fitting you ll get good practice for upcoming projects. but first you have to have the balls to make your first scoring or cut. Took me 2 days lol. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) love that AP armor! the little white elastic needs to go completely around the shoulder bridge and should sit at the top of the strap above the back plate. Edited February 2, 2012 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote
Cardiac[TK] Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 AP-armor fits you very well sir... Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted February 2, 2012 Report Posted February 2, 2012 Great job on your build; looks really good! Quote
pumpkin_bomb Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 That armour looks great mate. Quote
Dr.Senf Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks for all comments. Shoulderelastics are changed already! Thanks for the tip anyway. Quote
red white Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Looks great! Good job. I should be starting my AP build in the next few weeks. Quote
Dr.Senf Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Posted February 3, 2012 You will hear it lot of times. Be patient. Measure 5 times cut once! If you re in doubt, check forums but more important, really important, dont take for granted whats posted there!!!! For real accuracy check good reference pictures from the actual movies!!!!!! I changed quiet alot cause i took it in the beginning just out of posts. Moviepictures are the only real source for the right stuff! Trust me. Have fun!!!! Quote
Lucasfan7[TK] Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Hey buddy, how tall are you? I just got an ap suit as well Quote
Tray[TK] Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) should the square ends be cut off on the shoulder straps in the back? Thought that was required. Maybe not for basic approval but I would think it is if you are going EIB or Centurion though. Awesome looking kit. Nice work. Edited February 14, 2012 by Tray Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Looking good overall. As for details, it looks like your drop box straps are black (should be white), and you could use some inner drop boxes. I would also do the 45 degree clip on the belt corners. Quote
BigSlimJimmy Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Looks good! Fix the belt (of course) and make sure the drop boxes are closed in the back and use white straps. Happy Trooping! Quote
Dr.Senf Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Update: Lucasfan: i am 1,76m, perfect for AP. The inner drop boxes arrived and fitted! ---------- Just waiting for my blaster wich might arrive today from chachow!! And td clips and then application will be send!!!

Dr.Senf Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) So here we go.First of all the td clips arrived and i fitted it to my Belt,so here is what it looks like. --------- My Blaster arrived the other day and i was not happy with the result. Here some pictures of it untouched. Lots of unpainted parts and castingbubbles etc Just tugged it under the belt for the pic. Application will be send soon!!! Think its a nobrainer. Getting closer to TK ID Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I would bring up the back plate in order to reduce the amount of overlap between the back and kidney, almost to the point where the neck opening touches the back of your neck. Quote
Dr.Senf Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Posted February 25, 2012 Nice tip lol!!! But in this pic the armor is on my mannequin not on my body !! A little bit earlier in this thread you can see it on my body. There it fits nicely. Cheers for the comment. Quote
