Sonnenschein Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Awesome! This is the first time a see a close up of the RS hand guards. They look VERY similar to my 2010 version and to the template I posted in the HOW TO section. They're a little off. Quote
Echo[TK] Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Posted April 12, 2013 Oh ya?, it looks like I see a pair of your hand plate sometime in my future haha. Quote
Sonnenschein Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Well, they're not that bad. But since I made that version in 2010, some new details were found (a big thanks to TM), like the knuckle indentions, the sloped thumb part, the tilt, etc. But the armor is great and I hope to own one in the near future. RS, if you're reading this, contact me! I have an offer for you! Oh, Francisco, PM me your postal adress, if you like. I see a package from Austria coming to you.... Quote
rhapsodyred99[TK] Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) That's why I switched my RS plates with Yours Karin Great looking Suit! And fits you well. I do wish RS would make a unique inner and outer shin mold you could have the option of taking since their suit has double (inner or outter I forget) which make the shins look a fat. This is especially highlighted in someone my size where you can see the shins are pretty fat on my TD (RS Build), vs my TK (TM Build). Only thing I would say, and this is just an observation, but I believe the thigh ammo belt was held on with a cap rivet not a split rivet. Edit: Never mind see you know that already Edited April 12, 2013 by rhapsodyred99 Quote
Echo[TK] Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Thx rhap, yea when I was attaching the thigh pack, I looked throughout the forums for the best fastener to use. I didn't come across a clear answer, so I then went to check the CRL. It specifically stated a split rivet with no mention of a cap rivet, so I went with that. About a week after I set the pack, someone asked the question and it was discussed that a cap rivet was more screen accurate... Little frustrating because I have a stack of cap rivets and could have done it. One day I'll switch it out. But I must say I think the split rivet feels like a stronger fastener and I believe a little better for heavy trooping. There is a fair amount of tension when the pack is pulled from one side to the other to be set. I don't see the split rivets failing while I would have my doubts about the cap rivets. Totally agree with the shin comment. Edited April 12, 2013 by Echo Quote
Sonnenschein Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 That's why I switched my RS plates with Yours Karin I guess there can't be a bigger compliment!
