Rolf Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Freaking cool pictures Mark. Cool mix, whit the DL helmet on the TM body armor, all in abs. What kind of helmet do Pete have on, TM or TE2. Looks freaking cool too. (the TM suit is a beauty) Mad cool police gun picture, i guess the cop put the gun on safe. Before he handle it to you, and hope your hand plates did not puch it back on blast. Thanks for the look of your day, love your suit bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Fury Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Great looking pics, your armor looks really sharp. Love the last pic with the G36, that's awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Who wants to see some of the finer details? I have glued on the shoulder straps Painted the ab plate buttons, humbrol #14 french blue and humbrol #5 dark admiralty grey And riveted the thigh ammo pack on the right leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 This is the new way for strapping arms to me. Notice all 3 parts are connected together. Also having the arms seperate from the rest of the armour makes it easer to get dressed and you can take off the main body suit and leave the arms on if you need to. I am using 1 inch black elastic in a continual piece holding the bells and biceps and then on the inside of the elbow a 2 inch piece of black elastic holds up the forearms. 3/4 inch black elastic is glued to the bottom edge of the bell to keep them in place.

firebladejedi Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nothing much to see here, its all pretty standard stuff. But i have used dungaree bib and brace style adjustable thingymajigs so that the ab plate and chest plate are adjustable. This is so that i can move the parts up or down for a nice snug fit.

firebladejedi Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 The armour body The finished belt, i used plastic weld to put the rivet covers on and the drop boxes are rivited to the 1 inch white elastic which is simply looped over the belt so they can freely move around The legs with the sniper knee plate and ammo pack. The joining strips on the back of the calfs are 1 inch wide, where as the rest of the joining strips on the legs are 25mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tube Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Before he handle it to you, and hope your hand plates did not puch it back on blast. Ha ha. Love the idea that a G36 has a 'blast' setting. Any decent weapon would... Great armour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td7603 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 awesome!~ i love how there isnt a lot of black showing in the joints. but one thing concerns me... how flexible are you? range of motion? its a shame to get a bright shiny set of geas all sandied up now... cant wait.

firebladejedi Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 The troop i did on sunday was the first time i have worn all the armour at the same time.. and i was pleasantly supprised that i had no issues at all. Everything was where it should have been and i didnt need to adjust anything. No pinching anywhere and it was very comfortable. Range of motion is fairly good. I didnt fell restricted at any time. The only trouble i had was with staires. In my fx kit i can run up and down staires as if i was not in my armour. I was also able to kneel down and sit. I dont think i will be able to in my TM, but that is not a worry of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
