bigwam Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Oh yes, i´m a big boy I´m waiting for the Belt, i think it will arrive next week. The leather belt is very loose around my bottom, so when the original belt is on the armor, the gap is closed - now it is 10 mm wide. I must cut something from the shim on the right side, it is a little to big, but i mus wait for the right belt. Today i made some hooks for the bizeps and do some strapings .. holiday is great!

bigwam Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 What´s your opinion ... I don´t like, that you can see the white from inside the helmet. And - that the stripes translucent. I think about it, to paint the helmet inside black (lower area). But - if i can see the tubestripes inside - is it possible that i can see the black colour through the white on the outside? I hope you know, what i mean .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Its personal preference but they did not paint the inside black in the movies. Once you have a pack on your back, no one will be able to see from that angle anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Jason is correct. I prefer to use black plasti-dip on the inside of all my buckets anyway. It just looks better, IMO. And in bright light, it cuts down on some of the light filtering though the thin white plastic. The black is NOT visible through the plastic, from the outside.
