DEDEDEJr Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm working on converting my TK to a TD, and so far I've got pouches, canvas straps, a pauldron, and even a backpack. My biggest concern is somehow converting the ab plate from my FX kit to that of a sandtrooper's. Any suggestions on what the best way to do this would be?

Sandman Tigui Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Some in that case bro tend to cut out the TK ab plate and replace it with an ABS plastic strip or with a similar one according to the plastic of your armor. They do it from the inside out and carve the small top shape like box in it. Similar story goes for the 3 ab buttons that go in the side of it.

DirtyBoy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ya, I cut mine and modified myself. Free and easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEDEDEJr Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 That sounds like it might be possible, but I would definitely need a tutorial for the ab plate. It looks like the knee plates are pretty easy to come by, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm sending you 3 links Andrew, the 3rd one I must say is the one you are looking for.

DEDEDEJr Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for all the help you guys! I messaged troopermaster about possibly being able to buy the necessary parts, but if not, I'll hopefully be able to construct my own using the spare ABS strips I have. Thanks again!

troopermaster Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I make an FX conversion plate if you're interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEDEDEJr Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hey TM, I sent you a PM earlier, but yes, I would absolutely love that! I already have the knee plate, so just the ab plate and 3 button plate would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
