I just used glue on the Dropbox elastics. Belt and thigh armor looks great!

Getting closer to the strapping stage.

Belt almost finished, just need to attach the drop boxes to the elastic straps behind.

Is there a verdict on how these should be attached?  Glued or rivet etc.

 

Use CAP rivets if you still have some.

What is the go for adhering foam inside the helmet? glue, double sided tape, what works best.

I'm using mich pads for my helmet. One side of those pads acts as fuzzy Velcro, so I stuck the hook Velcro inside my helmet and I can adjust the pads.

Posted

Good idea, Velcor, so they can be removable for cleaning inside my bucket.

Thanks man.

Got a few more things done last night, after a big weekend at our first Comicon.

Snaps and Velcro being used, and thank you to Echo for his centurion Level 8mm rivets.

How hard is it to hand paint these little buttons.... do they look alright for size? they are just under 11mm across.

Cut out the corners of the kidney plate in ready for my future submission for Centurion.

More progress today, so know the shoulder bells are strapped and only need to be attached to the shoulder bridges when they are done.

Also glued the button plates onto the ab, and made a garter belt for the thighs. All going well I should be complete by tomorrow afternoon......Yippy.

Thanks guys, it is a surreal feeling to fulfill a childhood dream.

Looks really good buddy!! :jc_doublethumbup:  Only suggestion I have is cutting the strip at the top on your ammo belt thigh just a little to even it up with the armor :)

Looks awesome, I've been following your build in preparation for my upcoming AP build. Nice work!
