dav'ika Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 OK! This is jumping the gun a little, but I ordered my kit today!!!! I'm pumped!! Will make sure to get the "big brown box" photo when it comes in! Also picked up my underarmor top tonight, so except for armor I have everything done but to assemble the kit and weather!!

silverboyd Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 i'm saving for my AM kit right now. I should have the $ i'll need by the end of March (fingers crossed). I've already got my helmet built (it's an MTK), my TK Boots, backpack (90% completed), T21 blaster (95% complete), E-11 Blaster (Hasbro Mod), orange pauldron and right now I'm working on sewing up a neckseal. I also just put in an order online for a nice set of canvas MP40 pouches for my belt and for my shoulder. I can't wait to order my AM kit. By the way, where did you go for your underarmor?

dav'ika Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Got neckseal today! Everything but the armor. Looked at UPS, Wednesday is the day! Picked of some white velcro for the shins. Do the thighs open in the back or solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thighs go solid glued. Measure up to four times cut and glue once. Shins in the other hand do open in the back. Greatest luck bro and if you need aid just pour in the questions. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dav'ika Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ok! Trooped MidSouth Con with it. Done some adjustment. Need to get some good pics and submit for my TD, then for deployment. Will do that this week! what do y'all think? ( braces for impact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ground pounder Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Did the camera wash out the weathering on your upper chest and arms? Looks very clean compared to the rest. Other than that looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav'ika Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yes a little. I could add some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboyd Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I just got my AM kit yesterday. I'm nervous about it for some reason. Did you use the overlapping method mostly? I am trying to start on the biceps and forearms and trying to figure out the best way to approach this thing. Any pics of you working on those parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav'ika Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes I used the overlaping style. No I don't have any pics,Sorry. I did however take off most of the relief edge on forearms,thighs,shins,biceps. It fit better for me that way. But i'm a big guy so it made a world of difference for me!

dav'ika Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ok Brothers! Here is what I submitted to my GML. And will add other detail pics. This is what I'll be submitting to be deployed. Sneek peek! The bucket off pose, my chest plate moved up on me when I reached up and pulled off the bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboyd Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 With the thighs...did u have to taper them at all to fit you right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav'ika Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yes I did. Some big people don't and to me it looks like a stove pipe. It really wasn't that hard to do. Just a lot of tape and someone to help mark it and tape it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav'ika Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I found out that I messed up the sniper knee!! So now to fix and resubmit pics. Can any one see anything else I missed? Don't want to submitt numerous times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
