  1. my thoughts (not that i have made myself dirty yet) is shouldnt the "high" areas be much cleaner than the cracks lower areas i mean i would assume that the empires finest would at least attempt to wipe down their armor once and a while.....
  2. Just had a thought... why not expand the elastic portion that i made then fill in the elastic area with one of the plastic belt sections that i do not need because of my canvas belt.... hmmm im gonna have to try that as well.. i mean its fairly obvious to me that the backs of my legs are not going to look perfect as i am a "plus sized trooper"
  3. Well thats simmaler to what i made today, i used a 2" webbed belt that i made with a buckle and 1 single 1 1/4" strap to hold the thighs... ill attempt to make it a "V" style to see what that will do for me, as for being a bigger trooper yes, 6'2" 250 lbs.... im amazed ive been able to get everything else to fit... as for not being able to get enough material... i just dont care for the way it looks with all the extra shimming on the rear of the legs... currently i am using an elastic deal i made with velcro to close the gap... heres a pic What you are seeing is 3 pieces of elastic sewn together with velcro on the opposing side works VERY well on the calfs but just isnt working on the thighs and that of course goes inside the armor I appreciate your imput and will attempt to modify my strapping system to follow, any other suggestions are also welcome
  4. I know this is the MEPD but i cant seem to get into the white armor site... Anyways so i have these mutant legs and i cant seem to get my armor to fit at all, tried to just strap with elastic and that failed and left my armor thigs resting on my shins, tried to straight strap them with nylon webbing to my ab piece and that drug my suspenders so far down you could almost see the gap between my chest and abs and also one of my snaps failed and came off the ab piece after no more than 20 minutes of testing, tried to make a second belt (garder) with straps to hold my thighs only and that failed (D rings i used pulled apart) any suggestions on how to make this work? i am trying to get this finished for the st patricks day parade here on the 13th so i can do some trooping One of the main issues is i can not seem to get enough material to sucesfully shim the top of the thighs.... I am indeed interested im becoming an MEPD but i need to get the armor to fit and be able to be worn long enough to troop in before i modify it to become a TD Again any suggestions would be VERY much appreciated
  5. ive wanted to do a TD for a long time but i am alittle apprehensive about the sizing, im about 6'3" with like a 44" waist.... anyone know if this kit will fit me well?
  6. looks like a trooper from tat that was trying to keep his helmet clean but couldnt quite keep up with those pesky sand storms..... Nice job
