So I decided like all other costuming endeavors, I should start with something used and then work my way up.
I bought used armor and soft parts from a fellow TB from the bikerscout.net. He already let me know that I would need a vest and attach suede (buttflap and crotch patch).
So I got it in the mail today and of course like a little kid at Christmas, I had to try it on. [picture] I will warn you guys, all these pics will be huge. Also, I apologize for the graininess of my iPhone, I was too tired to grab the digital camera.
Frist of all, let me say that for any of you guys that put on armor all by yourselves, I salute you. One hour later and I still couldn't figure out how to put the chest piece on properly.
Anyway, I identified a few areas that are going to need some work, including repositioning velcro to get optimal armor fit.
Right now, I'm having problems with the helmet [picture 1][picture 2][picture 3]. The frakkin thing won't stay closed, but I suspect once I tighten the screws holding the visor to the main bucket, it should alleviate that problem. Also, I might fix the snout in the future.
