gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 22, 2020 Report Posted October 22, 2020 Nice work, just a couple of things Your biceps are almost coming out from under your shoulder bells so I suggest bringing the biceps upwards, this will also give you a little more room at the elbows. TD boxes are being pushed forwards, you may need to lengthen the elastic so they sit straight. You have a gap under your thigh ammo strip which you could move upwards. There is also a step on your left thigh lower ridge, normally you fit the thighs together so the bottom ridges align Small gap between your left shin closure at the top You may need to add some shims on the sides of your ab/kidney Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wideAlso the tip "han" snap is a little far away from the corner Decals do not fully fill the trap areas, there is a gap around them, this would be more for EIB Looks like you still have some return edge on the sides of your TD panel as they are rounded on the ends A few teaks and I'm sure you will do fine. Good luck 1 Quote

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Hi Micheal, great set of armor, congratulations! A couple of details I could see, that I'm sure you can deal with and will give you a better look. A- You may want to level your biceps a bit, (most goes under the inner elastic in the shoulder bells), this will let the forearms go up too and look better Reference Images B- you could bring your ab belt up a bit to sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels, and finally you could spin a half inch to the left to center it (green line) Reference Images Cheers 1 Quote
Mlederer[TK] Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Posted October 24, 2020 Thank you for the feedback. I have been working on the positioning of the biceps and how they fit into the bells. Trial and error with painters tape holding it in place till I get it just right. Once I have it, I may add an elastic piece from the inner bell to the inner bicep. Hopefully that will address the positioning issue. Second, I have also looked at using a little Velcro to help hold the belt in place. Any thoughts? Lastly, Ukswrath, below is a pic of the interior of my bucket. Almost everything is a product of your equipment and hard work. Thank you. You Rock!!!!!! Sounds great and the chatter loop is the finishing touch. I positioned the chatter MP3 just below the frown. Unfortunately you cannot see it. The cooling system bracket hides all the wires for a clean look. Thank you again for the products you sell. 1 Quote

Feel free to use it as a reference. I would be honored. I will try to snap a few showing the bracket and the mp3. If they come out well I will share them with you. 1 Quote
