Just got approved. TB 30109 in the house! :)

Thanks everyone for all of the positive feedback. I am happy to know that we did a good job As far as the little things, yeah, I guess they will just happen little by little. I hope to someday go for Lancer so we will see then. Again, thank you to everyone who has been super helpful here in this thread and via PM. Submission pictures were sent two days ago so fingers are crossed. Will let everyone know soon.

I need a balaclava. Have everything else ready but don't have that. I live in South Florida where it is really hot. I was thinking of going with the Under Armour Heatgear one. Does anyone have any thoughts on it? My biggest question is, does the neck come down low enough? In the alternative, does anyone have a recommendation of a good one? Thanks.

Here are the pics. So, what's everyone's thoughts? Also, I will eventually want to go for lancer. So without totally crushing my hopes and dreams, lets hear the feedback.

Maybe I am being hyper-critical, but here are the pictures. Is it just me or does the tube look really small in comparison to the end caps? I would like to eventually go for Lancer and even if this were accepted, it just looks wrong. Am I crazy or does it look fine?

Griffin - Did you have any problems with the paint flaking off or cracking? I was debating on doing this. Chex - It did come with a tube, but it just looks wrong. It seems to be way too thin when you put the caps on the end. I think the outer diameter is around 1". I think it would look better with 1 1/2", maybe even 1 1/4". The caps just look huge next to the tube.

Anyone have any suggestions? I tried Lowes and Home Depot. All their tubbing is either too small or the wrong color. Everything I see online requires me to buy 50 feet of it. Any suggestions? My armor is MonCal armor so if you are familiar with it, perhaps you can recommend a good size (inner and outer diameter) to get and where to get it. Thanks

Awesome and thanks. Just ordered a set from 3M's site for less than $5. Sweet!

Where do I get the correct bolt covers or what do I make them out?

So here is my build. I am unhappy with the final product but that's because I did a crappy job, not because the bucket is bad. I have emailed MonCal about the better snout piece. So far the bucket just has the decal and small snout that came with the bucket. I have also temporarily installed the hinge caps that came with the bucket. I am also going to change those. Finally, the center decal above the lens came out crooked, something to replace. Looking for some feedback. Good, bad or otherwise is appreciated.

Cool thanks.

Anyone know where to get good quality decals for a KS bucket (other than directly from KS)? I see some for sale on Ebay. Anybody make better or sturdier decals than another person? Thanks

Hello all, I recently started working on a KS helmet build. Considering that I have zero artistic talent and am not handy at all, my build looks like crap. That being said, I am thinking about purchasing one of Cucblack's helmets off of Ebay (or from him directly here). Any thoughts? My biggest question to anyone in the know is, does the helmet as it is qualify as a Lancer helmet or would it need some modficiations? I think his earlier helmets had problems but I think his newest version is right on. Seeing as he is a member here, please keep your posts as positive as you can. Should there be a reason to tell me something negative, kindly PM me. Again, any thougts or advice would be helpful. I have been sitting on a full box of TB armor now since March 2012 and would like to actually put it all together one of these days. Now I need a new helmet and would really like to get "the best" as I want to qualify as Lancer. Thanks.
