It's pretty...it's so pretty! Wantwantwantwant. It's got to be a good feeling hearing all of us drool over your lid, LW. Now make us even happier. No pressure..

You forgot the LW helmet.

It's actually not his V2. Last I asked him, he said it would be awhile before he finished it. That said, it'll get you approved, but not Lancer. I've seen ins and outs of it and overall it's not bad, if you want to go that route. I ordered his soft parts, and aside from the suit being a tad tight (my measurements were off), it still looks good and I love the job done on the cummerbund. He's def picked up his game, he just needs to do a little more to put him in the same league as other suppliers.

Just in case someone wanted to compare a bit. My esprit gloves My SA before I sold them. My Esprit are the ones with the tan fingers which have been dyed black. LOVE those gloves too.

E6000 all the way, unless there is something better?

Cool. Have to try them out. Can't stand the velcro any longer.

Question...WHERE'S YOUR WIFE?!?! lol She should be posting this up on here, getting to know everyone. She can't let you do ALL the work for here hehe. Dude though..outstanding job on the bucket. Be proud.

You did a great job with the way it is. No need for more lol.

Wow, really nice job. Yes though, the TD is upside down. Flip it. The shots you mention of LB..were those mirror shots though, also showing the rank stripes on the other side? The armor on her lower arms need to be slid more to the back instead of on the side too. But yeah bro, very good job. She must be excited. The bund and pouches really help to make the armor look more filled out, cause the chest and back looked huge on her on your test shots. Or did you just heat it up and bend the sides back a little?

lol you didn't think this would be cheap, did you? More expensive then a TK, that's for sure.

I think the LW helmet is the answer to our prayers.

Have some rare earth magnets I want to use on my KS bucket. The velcro is getting kind of old, listening to the sound when I open and close it is...meh. Anyways, heard of some using these. Can anyone chime in on using them, how well they work, placement, pics, etc.

If you can find a good deal on it, then go for it..just work on it.but that's if you can find a good deal. Some have made them look pretty nice, but I love my KS. Well, until the LW rolls out and I get one of those..the KS might have to find a new home then.

Yeah, def change up your bucket if you can. I have a KS and I have the 3/4 ach pads. I have to readjust sometimes to keep my brow from pressing against the lens (should have went with the 1/2 inch) but it's fine.

Yeah I just made my slots bigger. I leave the shoulders connected, and I leave the strap on the back plate, so when I slip it on, all I have to do is pull the straps through the front slot and stick to the velcro.

I agree...it's about time someone took the time, and put for some serious effort in giving us a really accurate looking bucket. Just put me on the list when you open one up lol... So..do I need to send you some black abs to get you to make one in black?

Not too bad. Those knees look HUGE on your wife though.

I have one as well, and though it's a tad snug (guess I measured wrong) it looks good and does the job. However, the vest is incorporated into the suit, which I'm pretty sure will keep you from getting Lancer, if that's your goal. If not, then it's a good suit to troop in. I still plan on going Lancer, so the vest is about to get ordered and I'll make the appropriate mods to the suit when it comes in. I asked him if he could separate the 2 and he said due to costs, that he couldn't. Still, for what I paid for the suit and the bund and pouches, it was just too good a deal, and I'm not sorry I did it. He did a great job and anyone who gets his suit, but not looking to go lancer with it, will be happy.

Looks good. Like I said before, I don't know how Witness deals with all the cutting. No one ever said looking good was easy though.

I really hope you didn't pay too much. That back piece is too funny.

Yeah def get a new topper. The majority looks like sc. Check out the forum. Every thing you need to know about fixing every thing you can find here. We are all more then willing to help out.

You just don't expect to see long blond hair when a bucket comes off lol. Looks great though, great job on the build.

That does look good. Wouldn't mind joining your ranks some day. Just seems like a lot of work hehe.

Ditto to that ^. I'll go buy one and mod it too. That looks good.

Welcome to BSN. Might want to introduce yourself in the right spot, as this is the placed to discuss armor. PM BlueCyclone for armor info. He'll get you headed in the right direction. Other then that, read EVERYTHING, and don't be afraid to ask questions. I asked a ton before buying an during my build.
