Hi

Go for it! As mentioned below, they are with armory but WW are pretty much the exact same. It makes them so much nicer. Fun project and my gloves are still working to this day.

I'm not a small trooper but I don't believe that you can go wrong with Spike's helmet. I love mine. *MLCv3 is the helmet in my signature

SGB

Shouldn't be an issue. I have the SC armor and MLCv3 helmet and everything works great. I wear a 7 5/8 hat. From what I've read, the Altmann's will fit. Hopefully I'll have mine in the next couple weeks.

I have the three piece belt and it works fine. Just used the instructions he send and place the two rivets connecting the side pieces. It has plenty of flex. The straps won't be acceptable connecting it like you have.

Welcome! If you're not on the Florida Garrison forums, you should go check it out. There are many Shoretroopers in Central Florida that I'm sure would be happy to help out.

Pretty good. I'd raise those thigh boxes up a bit. Make sure those pouches are on the outside edge of the vertical ribs.

Very nice

Might buy a second set of gloves that are a little larger. I also took the liner out of my gloves, removed the foam in the middle, and then installed the liner back in. That made then a bit more flexible and roomy.

What part of Florida? If you haven't already, jump on the Florida Garrison Forum and get your name out there. Lots of scouts in Florida (Detachment Leader) that can help you personally with your build. I'm in South Florida if you're in the area.

I can agree with this, it will depend on where you live. In South Florida it can make a different with humidity fogging up the lenses but I have also trooped recently without them. During the summer months if we're outside in the afternoon they can be a life saver. My new stuff that I'm buying is for my Shore though.

I just picked up (hasn't arrived yet) this one which looks pretty cool. I have thin USB batteries that I bought off Groupon for a great deal but you can find those types of things anywhere. I'm excited to get all this in a bucket with the ukswrath amp (yet to be ordered).

Everyone will notice different things. You're on your way but here's what I see: 1. pouches are on the wrong sides, easy fix. 2. on the toe area of your boot, the vinyl doesn't look like a clean cut. Do you have the thin strip that should line the bottom edge of that toe vinyl? It does wonders to cover up the cutting lines. Good luck, everyone goes through little things that they missed while building, that's why we're all here.

Very cool!

Lookin good trooper. I use suspenders that I made so they don't cross in the middle of the back. They hold my bund up into my armor with no problem. I've lost some weight so I don't use my belly to keep that in line anymore. The suspenders help a bunch. Warning, if you go with walmart ones, make sure they're under the vest so that you don't seen the big tan leather part at the cross.

Excellent

cool idea

Interested to see how this turns out. You won't be able to add many photos through the forum so try to use a hosting site like photobucket to host your photos and then post the link on here. Good luck!!

Congrats and welcome!

There are threads about the NewImage bucket and it's color is a bit off and isn't recommended.

Looks great. Don't forget the hinges for the visor and the cuts in the back. Would be awesome to see this work.

Nice. I added black elastic to mine but it starts to slide down because it's under my calf and I don't want it too tight that the blood doesn't flow. lol

I love my MLC fiberglass helmet. I was wearing it when I was exiting a SWAT truck during a photo shoot and banged it on the exit door. If it had been my head it would have been a nasty bump. Not sure how an ABS would have been held up but the FG did it's job and protected my head. It gets a bit heavy after hours of wearing it but I'll take the good with the bad.

Pretty sure no rainboots will work but hey maybe there's a chance. Post up some photos if you see them. Although making the boots was some of the most fun in the build and when you explain it to people they're like "you made those??" It's a nice feeling of accomplishment.
