SupRsloth[TK] Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Got one more thing done off the list. Installed my Icomm and Aker amp. Sounds pretty good. Also got a couple lipstick USB chargers to run some 5V DC fans that I just received. Hopefully I'll find some time in the next week or so to get them wired up and installed in my bucket. Probably OK that I haven't had my first troop yet as I still have a fair amount of work to get ready. Between school and traveling for work it's been tough to finish off the last few items on my list. More to come....... Edited May 6, 2016 by SupRsloth Quote
SupRsloth[TK] Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Finally back at it with a few updates. Getting ready for my very first troop in mid June for Star Wars night at the Waterloo Bucks baseball game. Added two fans and am powering with two 3000 ma power packs. Have been running them for 5 hours uninterrupted and no heat buildup. I could have gotten away with just one power pack but I like a large margin of error when I have Lithium Ion batteries next to my face. It was definitely fun to break out the old soldering iron again to solder the USB cables to the fan wires. It's been to long since I've done an electronics project. Should stay as cool as I can for the troop. Next I got to work on some of the items pointed out to fix in my EIB application. First shortened the three straps from my kidney to but plate. I took about a 1/4" out did a double over piece of elastic this time to make it a bit firmer. Sits a ton better now then it did. Got a pair of Nomex Flight gloves and some new hand guards from Joseph. I'm thinking these will be much more comfortable then wearing rubber gloves in the summer heat. Added a passport travel pouch to the back plate to carry anything small like keys, phone etc. while trooping. And finally worked on leveling out the belt. It appeared that I had the right side a bit out of position so had to drill out the original snap..... As I've seen others do I screwed up and took a big chunk of plastic out of the ab piece... Thankfully I've learned enough from working on this armor and from tons of others who have gone through the same thing as me I did a quick ABS patch and filled in with ABS paste. and the finished straightened belt. I've made a note to self not to get cocky and think that I know what I'm doing ..... Need to take my time and think to avoid these types of screw ups. Few items left to do prior to Centurion application. Still need to work on bringing in the shoulder bells and quite a few helmet mods (screws, hovi screens, clean up the end tooth painting on the frown.) May not get done before my first troop but it felt good to make some more progress today. Edited July 17, 2017 by SupRsloth 2 Quote

Many thanks to all who posted their great build threads and those who helped me out by answering my silly question on this thread. Time to get trooping! Completed my first troop on the 18th of June. I'll start a troop log some time in the near future and post a link here. 2 Quote
