Hi Patrik I guess, I must have missed something... does this mean, that I don´t have to have the side buckle for Lancer Spec. ?? because I just checked the CRL and it doesn´t say it anymore ??

Little update: After talking with Morten (TB-7995) last saturday, I´m putting the hump like you suggested, Rob, and the belt with the side buckle (Lancer spec.) with velcro in front and back of the belt for better holding in place. And I got my bucket today from SC - WEEEE looks great ! Picture later, when the kids are put to bed... so now I´m only missing the flightsuit - it´s send from the US, so I guess, I have it in a few days. My mum is almost done with the flak vest, so it looks like I´m getting to make my deadline...

Hi I would take the red kap - there you would "only" need to do the collar, so it will stand like the other True Spec.´s + remove the front pockets and sew the pockets together at the sides . Perhaps velcro around the arms and legs, if you want that... The True Spec needs to get all the pockets away, also the ones on the sides and the zippers on the legs and the front zipper needs to be hidden... Look at the CRL regarding the suit

Oki, I guess that would be ok to glue it to the metal bracket, if we can´t find an abs piece it´s so much easier, when you have a Photo to look at, thanks

Thanks Rob, Yes it helps a hole lot. Only thing is that I don´t have a piece of abs, that I can bend... and the L-shaped metal bracket, that I thought could do the trick, doesn´t fit regarding the holes on top :-( Perhaps Morten has a piece that we can use tomorrow, otherwise I need to go to the toolshop and buy some abs

Well, having some trouble fasten the hump to the back armor, so tomorrow I´m going to take it with me to a little goodbye-party at TK/TB-7995 ´s place... hopefully he can figure out, how we can put it on did get to sand all the pieces today and still need to round the corners on the bootholster before putting that on. And my bucket is allready landed here in DK, so now I just need to wait for the delievery truck...

So got some things done today... velcro on the biceps, forearms and knees. The td is almost finished, still needs the moneyclips and the end caps. Also cut the hole for the L-bracket, haven´t fasten it yet, because I still need to figure out, how to get the holes to fit with the hump... So any advice on that is more than welcome Link for Progress : http://s1246.beta.photobucket.com/user/Heidi_L_Sorensen/story/14623#

That´s right Patrik but finished and cleared with the TB - and then I´m going to make mod. for Lancer and then going to put together a Pre Vizla for my oldest son... so yes, there´s always more to do today I´ve cut the slidge for the L bracket in the back armor - still need to figure out how to drill the hole, so it fits... also put velcro on the biceps/forearms and knees and glued the belt together. So a little progress ...

Weee just got mail from MC, that the suits are going to be shipped today/tommorrow... so the only thing I need to get finished is the flak vest and putting the armor together... looks like I´m going to be ready way before my sons birthday...

Great - then you can get to work to I haven´t heard from MC since the 18th of january... I´ve ordered 3 late december ´12, one for me and one for each of 2 other members at the Danish NG. She promised me, that the flightsuits would be send quickly, beause they have those in stock... didn´t think it would take so long to put those in a package and ship them .....

Weee just got a mail from Jeff at SC - my bucket is on it´s way - still need my flightsuit from MC - just about to be some kind of pissed of, that MC doesn´t answer my mails...

So put some Photos in here : http://s1246.beta.photobucket.com/user/Heidi_L_Sorensen/story/14493#

Oki little update...my mum got the measurements for the flak vest today, and is now making the pattern to cut from... Regarding the armor : I´ve glued (E6000) the t-bits on and the greeblins on the td and drilled the holes in the td + putted the decal on the front armor... so tomorrow I´m going to put the velcro/straps on the knees/bells/biceps and forearms and putting the hump on the back armor :-) so it´s coming along nice and easy, so far... I´ll put some photos in my photobucket later...

Hi Björn thanks Getting those things are a big step towards the finish of getting all the pieces together. I´ve just painted the topper for the tank, so hopefully I can put it on the hump tomorrow... The measurements for the flak vest is also being taken tomorrow by my mum, so she can make a go on that one. RIght now, I´m really missing my flightsuit... but I´m going to measure the bells and put Photos up in here for help regarding cutting the lengde... I´m a bit nervous about perhaps taking to much, so better ask first

Well didn´t get to build today :-( had to drive to town after fabric for my vest and paint for the tanktopper... BUT got my cummerbund/pouches and boots today from Marcel - those are great and fits perfectely !

Hi Mike - and the back armor will still hold its form that way ? I´ve see other cut a hole too... hmm I´ll see, if the bracket can be used otherwise I´ll try this. Thanks

I´ll try with the metal bracket first - it´s 5 cm wide, so the hump is going to have a nice surface to be fasten on... If it turns out, it wont work, I guess, I could ask on of the other guys here in Denmark, if they have a spare piece...

I haven´t got any plastic, so I thought one of those could do the trick. It´s a stainless bracket, so I guess it will hold

Great - I´ll start on that tomorrow, thanks

Oki, thanks - getting my bucket in this week from the states, so weeeee.........

Yes you´re right, I can´t wait anymore either, so I´m going to start the build tomorrow. Do you know if it´s ok to use a L-shaped metal bracket for the hump ?

Sounds like we have a bit of the same issue regarding waiting for some things, that are keeping us at hold - but yes we have some great guys/girls in here to help us through I´m looking forward to see your build too - and I´ll make sure, to keep you updated with my build....

Hi all Well the box has been standing in a corner of my bedroom for some time now, but I´m almost there regarding all the pieces. I bought my kit from SC (great service and fast delievery), and my bucket is going to be shipped in this week, wee.... looking forward to that. The flightsuit is paid/ordered from MC late in December ´12, but it looks like I have to wait some more for that, wich wasn't the deal with MC - that sets me back regarding putting the armor together. I´ve got the balaclava and blaster, and the cummerbund/pouches and boots are paid/ordered from Marcel and on it´s way... also wee... Also the greeblins from Don Jarr for the td is in the house... The gloves I´ going to buy from another member at NG, if they fit me... The flak vest is my mum going to make for me, I have absolutely no skills regarding a sewing machine and I like my fingers to much - I´m buying fabric/Velcro and real suede tomorrow. I´m planning on starting with the td and putting the tank on the back armor - is it ok to use a L-shaped metal bracket for a better fasten ???? I´m also going to put the belt together using Pandatroopers great buildthread - I´m going for Lancer in the long run - but right now I´m aiming on being finished for my sons 6 year birthday on the 1st. of april and making that my first off. troop... Here´s a link with some photos of my kit : http://s1246.beta.ph...en/story/14315#

Well this have been up a few times... perhaps this link can help you Guys http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Leather-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Gloves-size-M-/181059016455?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Gloves&var=480210653070&hash=item2a27f55707 they need some mod., but is the best second choice, that I have seen around...

Could I please get one pm too on the flak vest Rob ? I have the same problem as Chris, no sewing machine and no skills at all in that direction.... Yes yes I know, being female and all that....
