So by gluing front and then each side individually I was able to get the sniper plate on well

Added some nylon plate with snaps to the arms and front

Drilled holes for split rivets and painted them. Had some set backs on strapping with plates getting loose.

Did a lot of various things today but was not focused on taking pics. Added outer strap look to the chest plate. Adjusted strapping on chest to back TK lower the back as it was high and corrected suspenders to bring up the cod.

So I got right thigh belt attached with snap rivets. I used a bit of Velcro backing on front to keep it from moving

Been since September when I got it. I have not kept the great thread like you have but have been watching it.

I'm trying to get all shoulders down shored up and then do bucket

You're doing the bucket last? I admire your patience, but I think doing it last is best: the ears can be tricky and learning how to cut ABS. Ends up with a nicer lid :)

Yeap that was the last thing I wanted to do. Intimidation! I'm close. Need to fit shoulder bells to chest straps, finalize some thigh connections. Paint rivets. Then do belt. Then make sure all fits right and go for the helmet.

Links to all of your pictures are not working.

Photobucket seems hosed right now. Hopefully they will be back up. Only a small portion of my photos show up for me there right now

Very strange, considering that my pictures are linked from Photobucket as well.

I wasn't trying to be impolite, merely commenting on the bizarre nature of the functions of Photobucket.

Im fairly sure that 'Very impolite person' is Tapatalk's strange habit of changing the a.s.s. word to that phrase instead. Go figure...

Finished strapping to thighs.

Little different method. Used an old belt I had and added snaps.

I was able to get gloves done yesterday. Use locktite plastics bonding system. One with the pen and glue.

Looking good!

 

Your left-shin is a bit twisted out though, might just be the photo. Might also want to remove a bit more of the cover strip from the bottom of both shins, it'll save your boots in the long run :)

yeah when I took photo it was caught on boot and we moved it around later. My strips look long on pic but are even with bottom.

 

If I removed bottom I would be concerned it may look short? Or am I Crazy lol
