Duden15 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thanks fore the quick answer. So it looks like this at the moment is this alright? It's only held in place with tape on the inside, just ignore the clamp and the magnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Placement looks fine. Remember to glue the center in right below the bottom of that front cover strip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ah, I was just thinking about the hight. Thanks Was that some kind of force mind controll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Made a bit of progress over the last days. All parts are glued with coverstripes. The hooks on the shins are installed: Hade to glue some foam in the upper arm to sit tighter: I ordered my neckseal from Darman and bought some functional underwear at a local motorcycle shop. Final to-do liste: Strapping the thigh Strapping the arms Finish off helmet Decide on pauldron colour and order it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duden15 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks, I'm alomost done with the armor. Here is the first testfit, what do you think? Helmet is'nt finished, still waiting for the parts from RS. I woul'd say the forearm armor needs to got up a bit. The uppder arm armor parts can't go down any more, so the gap betwenn the gloves and the forearm armor will become bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Looks good just gotta raise those forearms up like you said. The bottom of your biceps should be above the bend in your inner elbow and the forearms should be just below. You look like you have long arms so unfortunately you'll have a bit of a gap but I suppose that's better than what us short guys have to deal with and have even less arm mobility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanks for the answer and the sugestion. Hade to change a bit more, the guys from thr GG found even a bit more. Much better now (pic below). Made the biceps smaler (diameter) I forgot were I put the undersuit pants so its in normal pants . Didn't found it that qiuck, now I know were it is. Raised the sniperplate and reduced the diameter of the thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Just a little update, started painting the helmet. Still missing some parts from RS, they should be on the way. Painted the screws. Raised the abdominal part. Befor: Now: The pauldron and the necksael were both shipped yesterday, can't wait for them to arrive. This wasn't planed, but I found the parts in the hardware store. So I though why not. I just need to finish the helmet and the weathering, than I should be good to go for basic approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GilFran007 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Great work so far. One thing that I noticed is that your belt snaps are on your cod instead of the ab plate. You make it work by lowering the snap location on the belt. I'm not sure if that is an issue at PO or SWAT levels.....but should be good to go for standard approval still.

Duden15 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 @Hausi Thanks @GilFran007Thanks for mentioning, I already know about that. I don't think thats an issue, it's just to hold the belt in place and can't bee seen if the belt is attached. The belt came with attached snaps and I did't changed the location. The hole you can see on the belt, was one of the snaps I palced. It was in the wrong spot so I hade to change it. Please correct me if I'm wrong but as I see it, it is like the strapping on the armor the outside must be screen accurate but the inside doesn't matter. If thats an issue, than I can eassily fix it with abs sludge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The position of the snaps is not going to be a problem. As long as your ammobelt is at the correct height, it's all fine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Thanks again for the answer Hausi. Not much progress over the Weekend. Almost finished the Helmet, still missing the ears from RS. I although changed the strapping of the forearms, it's is now seperatable from the biceps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 My neck seal from Darman arrived today, so hopfully my pauldron shoud arrive the next days. Still waiting for the ears . The neck seal fits perfectly and is very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksjager Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Nice! I wear a Darman neck seal as well for my Sandy & my Tie and I love them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 As expected the pauldron (Trooper1) arrived today. Looks great, I'll make a test fit of all parts in the evening. So now only the ears are missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 The ears arrived and I can finish the helmet now. Testfit is done. I'll lower the forearm and the biceps a bit more to close the gap to the gloves. Did a first weathering approach, only burnt umber. I'll possibly ad some darker colour and a final wash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duden15 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Took me a while but I'm finally finished with the weathering, here are some pictures. Looks a bit light on the pictures, but it's darker in real. I added a bit more details on the ab. I although removed the white line under the eyebrow you can see in the picture above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
