Already sharing the details of the scope ans such on the e11 thread.

 

As for next test fitting. Tomorrow likely as I have glue curing on the ab buttons I dont want to muck with.

Velcro to 1/2 of shins:

 

 

Velcro added to thigh support strapping (along with two snaps). This outta hold it up under just about any circumstance.

 

 

And here is the right bicep and forearm being strapped together as per this discussion: http://www.whitearmo...l=&fromsearch=1

 

[bigironvault]

Fancy! You're going all out huh? Good job Charles.

Fancy! You're going all out huh? Good job Charles.

 

don't be so quick to praise me, I did a test fit and realize I installed the strap on the wrong side of the arm, instead of being something to allow greater movement and less pinch, it caused almost TOTAL lack of arm bend. Had to rip out when you see and install again. I'll let you know tomorrow if I did it right.

 

we need to talk early this week about that Sniper plate, as I am quickly approaching the need to deal with it.

 

 

Here is my list update and then I am off to bed!

 

1. Cover Strip Corner Trimming (1/2 complete, now I need to trim to size and cut angles)
   
2. Bicep Cover Strips Glue x4
   
3. Forearm Cover Strips Glue x4
   
4. Thigh Cover Strips Glue x4
   
5. Shin Front Cover Strip Glue x2
   
6. Shin Velcro Attachment (1/2 complete)
   
7. EVIL AP Sniper Plat attachent
   
8. Thigh Ammo/Power belt thingy with cap rivets
   
9. Add last three split rivets to the shim (holes are cut, just need to add the rivets).
   
10. Stuff I am forgetting but will realize in an "oh yeah" moment (see new #7 and #8 and #9)
    
11. Fix/Add stuff I did wrong that will be so obvious to everyone but me
    

[bigironvault]

Easier to show you than type you about sniper plate. But I think it works. If it survived a climb on rocks, it will survive a troop!

[Clamps[TK]]

Not sure when we'll be able to meet up. Can you get any detailed photos from each angle over to me with that fancy camera )
