Me and my armour,not dirty yet

[tk7713gra30]

Hi all,

A big hello, I am Graham from the UK.

This is the third set of armour I have owned and for some sadistic reason I really love putting the things together.

Bought this a while back and finally got around to finishing it off. never posted on here before though.

Not sure of make but it is high gloss ABS.

The shims, front and back seemed to take forever but really make it, so much better I think than the formed ridge at the rear.

All glue is E6000, glued at front and Velcro at rear, one side of the shim is glued on the outer and overlaps the inner with Velcro.

Although its set up for sandy all the parts are there for normal TK, correct colour buttons, ab plate, TK shin plate, canister, drop boxes. I couldn’t make my mind up so the sniper plate is only velcroed on.

SOME WEATHERING FUN FOR ME or SOMEONE-next time I will take the plunge ;-)

The helmet is hand painted as a sandy but the tears and temples are vinyl so a TK is easy to do.

Inside painted black, foamed and with new acrylic green flat lenses.

Building a blaster now and then I am thinking of selling the lot to buy another set. All strapping system done, poppers and Velcro/elastic.

I’ll post more pics if I do.

Until then what do you think

Best wishes

Saw your post on the FISD too man... looks great. I think it'd make a good ANH or TD either. Your choice for sure! The TD sniper plate seems to be missing the little triangle on the bottom... but yeah, it's a great lookin' set of armor. Nice job!

Here's a close up of my knee plate to show what I'm talking about.

Which maker of armour is that? Looks like you've missed the ab buttons too.

Needs some tweaking but looking good already..

don't know if it's already been mentioned but replace the shoulder straps with canvas ones too next to the other suggestions made
