Ok recently i was lucky to get hold of a new DL tk helmet from my good buddy Rolf aka TD 252. He did an awesome job building and detailing the helmet, my hat goes off to him Anyway here are some pics of my new family member getting to know his brothers here with me, more pics to follow..

I have to say Rolf has done a wonderful job building and detailing these DL helmets. The one i bought from my buddy arrived today and it is nothing short of outstanding I really look forward to seeing what you do with the full armour suits, they are going to be awesome. All the best from fbj

Jaw dropping stuff here Scott

Exellant work Rolf I still can not get over how sharpe these pulls are

This type of thing only accurs when your boots are not tall enough, what boots are you guys using? A small piece of velcro on the front top of the boots and inside the shin should work for you.

Nice going Rolf, you are like a little stormtrooper armour factory

That must weigh a ton, thats an imperial ton, not metric

Nice Is it just me or does it look as if the brow should sit higher? It may be that we are just used to seeing the Brian helmet and this Dave lid is that much different? Very nice all the same, and it is nice to see a different take on a screen used helmet. All the best, mark.

I think most people still use welders visor, dark green number 3 or 5?

I can hardly wait to see what you do with these Rolf

These turned out really sweet, nice job

Nice lid thanks for sharing Rolf

Ahh bless your youngling was the star of the show Paul, and i could not believe how keen he was to get back out there and troop... And he was branded too Cool pics man

Thats a fair one i just wasnt expecting them to loop it in under the chestplate...

OK this thread is just happening at the right time, im hoping to strap my new armour sometime over the next couple of weeks. OK lets look at this photo of JJ, it may have covered before i dont know. Where is the strap going that is coming out of the left hand side of the chest plate. Is this holding the shoulder bell up, it seems too far forward? Or is this going through the arm and holding the forearm up, we know that the forearm is held on the inside elbow by a 2 inch strap which we assume it attatched to the inside of the bicep.. If the bicep is free floating the forearm being held up and the elastic on the inside of the shoulder bell would be enough to hold the bicep in place, yes, no? Any ideas...

I also have long arms and if i used this style hook to hold up my biceps they would disappear under my shoulder bells

Awsome work as ever scott, these are going to look super smashing great!

While putting my TE2 together i have been using 1 hour epoxy to glue a strip inside the parts to quickly hold them together and then i have been using E-6000 on the ouside joining strips. The E-6000 dries clear but most other glues i have tried on other armour suits has always dried yellow, not white so i dont know what to suggest. Adhesives like no more nails is available in white and will be very strong but i am not sure wether i would use that on my armour...

Here is how i put my AP suit together I used a eye kit on the belt to keep it neat.. the belt was fixed just on the ends Ignore the holster this was a clean tk. You see i used machine screws instead of rivets and they went through the plastic ammo belt, the canvas belt and into the ab plate to keep it all together. Then the plastic square bits go over the screw or rivets here, depending on your kit they may or may not be removeable ie the fx kit has these molded into the armour where as more accurate kits they come seperate like this.

HI Ben lay the belt out on a table and find the middle, the belts overlap at the back evenly. Screen way to attatch the belt to the plastic ammo belt was 3 rivets, 1 each end and 1 in the middle, the small plastic covers go over the rivets. The belt can be held onto the ab plate by large snaps to kep it in place. To weather, just get it dirty!

This is exactly what i did. i took my belt to work and through it on the floof of my store room and 'cleaned the floor' with it. It was filthy in minutes

Now thats a big gun, nice
