    Bombproof Armour?

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    Hi All-

    I'm looking for recommendations for nice durable armour - I love my SDS but it is starting to crack in places and I can only imagine that the cracks will get worse with continued trooping. What (in your own opinion) is top notch armour from a durability standpoint?

    Thanks!

    Hi All-

    I had a look in the lab supply catalogue and the canister I used is discontinued - but there is a version available that has basically the same dimensions. It's called a 1 litre shoulderless LDPE container and is available from the Fisher lab supplies company.

    Stock # FB59641

    You'll have to trim about 2 inches off but the bevelled ends of the 10mm PVC will hide the cut end.

    Thanks for all the comments!

    That looks great... What did you use for the actual canister?

    Thanks! It was just a straight-sided canister that I found in work - about 3.75 in diameter and about 8 inches tall with a screw top lid. We used to use them for soaking machine parts in alcohol to sterilise them. I'm sure I could find them in our lab supply catalogue - if I do I'll post a link here.

    Yes they might be cheaper, but they are also ready to waer straight out of the box, and I aint that experianced working with plastic, so the deal that I can order and then put on realy talks to me, also because I dont have a lot of sparetime to work on trimming armor and bucket, I work 50-60 hours a week and also would like to have some time with my daughter and wife. Instead of standing in my garage. And all the other buckets that I have looked at needs a lot of work. That is why I'll go for the sds I might be paying double but I can start wearing it or start the weathering as soon as I get it.

    They may say that they are ready to wear straight out of the box, but if you're going sandy, the SDS will need quite a bit of work and will be pretty uncomfortable. I have this armour and it is nice but very expensive and took a lot of modding to get it to fit somewhat comfortably - if I could do it over I would go for a cheaper suit that I could assemble to fit me.

    speaker set up help

    Hey guys i am using a Tci board, a set of Stompers mic tips and bits and pieces of my old skullworx(mic).I talked to Stomper about feedback issues and he said a differnt mic!Do i need to insolate the tips???Ideas??

    Thank you,

    Rob8821

    I was never able to sort out the feedback issues when using Stomper's mic tips. Even insulating the tips with blu-tack and shielding foil didn't help. If you figure out how to do it please post the solution.

    EDIT: Just wanted to say this has nothing to do with the quality of Stomper's mic tips (which is top-notch IMO). I just haven't figured out a way to keep the mic so close to the speakers without horrible feedback. If I hold the helmet about 3 feet away from the mic then the speakers sound spot-on!

    Blue bottle size?

    Mike would you be willing to measure the height of your wet ones bottle (for those of us that aren't in the States )?

    I have a container of painters cleanup wipes from B&Q that looks about the same size - it might do the job until I find something better.

    Removing SDS Hovis?

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    Anybody on here that has a set of Stompers Hovis with speakers and an SDS lid - how did you remove the mic tips that came on your bucket? I'll hopefully be receiving Tony's mics in the near future and could use some tips on switching them out for the speakered version.

    Thanks lads!

    sandy paint

    That looks like some good stuff. Although.... since silica is salt, I'm wondering what may happen to it in the rain, or humid weather. Does the paint kinda seal it in?

    Silica is actually one of the main ingredients in glass. It's pretty much chemically inert and will not dissolve in water. You're thinking of sodium chloride maybe?
