td7603 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ok, ready? im always here to help. replace glove with all black flight gloves or all black gloves im not sure whats going on below your cod piece, can you supply closer pics? your thighs should be a bit higher up on your legs, so adjusting how they are connected would help. please take a pic of how your thighs are connected to the rest of the armor. your forearms seem to be big. add some padding on the inside. use foam or wads of duct tape taped inside so they fit better. there should be space between your handplates and your armor. your shoulder pauldron (the white thing around your neck) strap should be under your armpit. the black pouch should be slid to one side or moved to be mounted on your backpack strap over your left shoulder or attached to your shoulder strap. Other than that it looks awesome! are you using the rubbed shoulder straps or canvas or leather ones? weathering ,looks awesome as well.

iconoclasta_88 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Your td is looking good for a start. I would just add, remove the black square of what I guess is velcro from your shoulder bell. Im guessing that is supposed to hold a shoulder pouch in its place. But the shoulder pouch should be fixed to the backpack strap. Not to the armor. About the gloves, I would suggest , if you are up to it, to use black rubber gloves. Thats the way they are supposed to be. Hope it helps. Saludos.

slave1pilot Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 im not sure whats going on below your cod piece, can you supply closer pics? looks like a drawstring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodatrooper Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You could also add a length of black elastic, poppered to the lower inside edge of the shoulder bell (goes round the inside of your upper arm and reconnects to the shoulder bell again), to stop it flaring out too. In photo number three, where you are looking to the right, there is something black sticking out behind your lid buddy, is that your neck seal or something else? The weathering looks good. Hope this helps. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodatrooper Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Just noticed your field pack... The box with the 'bee-sting' should be eliptical, rather than round, like a fridge jug. The lower black box on the left needs a radio on it, and that should sort the pack. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slave1pilot Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 His Bee-Stinger is Hyper-Firm, as are a few other parts. In fact, that may be one of Lewis' packs. They were made before the faucet cover was found and the only decent reference was the Marmit trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyone Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I recognize that suit and pack, just do the suggested mods and you'll have a nice TD. Looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Fury Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 looks like a drawstring. Yeah, looks like the same grey drawstrings that I have on my Under Armor legs, I usually just tuck them around my waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jango 5204 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 His Bee-Stinger is Hyper-Firm, as are a few other parts. In fact, that may be one of Lewis' packs. They were made before the faucet cover was found and the only decent reference was the Marmit trooper. Good eye Nate. That is Lewis' pack. I sold my suit to Krenn in October. This is the suit my buddy Jeff was wearing at SDCC this past year in the TD pic with Anthony Forest. The shoulder pouch is attached to the fieldpack, that black velcro kept it in the proper place, so it didn't flop around everywhere. The shoulder bells do have the arm elastic built into them. Thradio velcros to pack so the TD loop can run inside the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
