Nada[TK] Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Trooper, great improvements Trooper. I would suggest to consider in advance for higher levels to make some adjustment to your belt as the Crl states for level 3 : Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. reference photo of the alignment of the belt and canvas. Note that the drop boxes are behind just for the picture, they must go aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt with minimal or no gap as suggested. . Keep on being safe and doing a great job. This is how mine is looking the 45 go to the size of my belt I believe (currently getting washed.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

Nada[TK] Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Posted May 6, 2020 Been working on the shims this is how my kit is sitting ATM from the front and how the shims sit on the manakin using Velcro at the front of the shims and them glued at the back. Still have to fix my sniper knee issue. 2 Quote
Nada[TK] Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Posted May 10, 2020 Doing some new minor changes making my shoulder bell biceps straps to 25mm instead of 40mm and have changed my shoulder strapping to have the bells closer. Should be getting some rubber gloves next week to attach my latex hand guards. After I receive my new helmet I should be at EIB standards with my armour and will be doing my next approval photos.

Nada[TK] Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Posted May 15, 2020 Did some some approval esc photos today in my armour I think I’m very close to doing my next approval photos and getting approved.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
Nada[TK] Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Posted May 19, 2020 Final addition for now I will be polishing and cleaning my armour till shims look a different colour due to lighting and then being sanded and still have some glue residue. After all the cleaning will be putting my armour in storage till my helmet arrives which looks like 1-3 months due to the virus. Also with the approval like photos before, if there are any issues please bring them up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Nada[TK] Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Posted May 20, 2020 Great work mate, I have really enjoyed watching your journey and how far your armour and skills have come.Thank you, I am aiming for EIB ATM, I think I have every checked off for EIB apart from my helmet just have to wait for my helmet. Dave did an amazing job on my HWT back pack can’t wait to see what he can do with a helmet.I also now have to get use to having nothing to tinker with for a while so I don’t mess anything up for my next approval photos after I clean my armour completely.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted May 20, 2020 Report Posted May 20, 2020 " also now have to get use to having nothing to tinker with for a while" Do you have a T-21? HWT love big guns... Quote

I don’t but was looking into before I decided to save up to do a x-wing pilot. Will most likely do a DLT-19 I know where to get one in Australia (Can’t really import blasters)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Nada[TK] Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Posted July 9, 2020 Not feeling like my ANH stunt will be getting approved after hearing back about my HWT so this build will be placed on hold till late October till early November due to being at college Quote
