A guy in my garrison also has a Studio Creations kit, and measured his at 3.5" from the top, which looks to be about halfway, like the CRL picture, so I'm going with that.

How far down from the top of the tank does the horizontal decal go?

Rough test fit. I need to add velcro to the knees and bicep armor to keep them from sliding. Add chest pouches Add dogbones to boots. Add decals and paint details. Finish helmet

Some pix of the chest/back armor and my belt.

Studio Creations sent a strip of ABS to go on the inside of the tube to add reinforcement. I was going to add a washer and use a 1/2” rivet to give it some extra strength on the back side.

I got the holster put together and am getting ready to mount it to the tube. Do you all use more attachments than just the 4 rivets? I know a couple of my TB friends who have some cracking on the holster assembly around the rivets over time. I was thinking of adding some stick-on velcro to the back of the holster and the tube to distribute some of the weight of the holster away from the rivets.

I think you're right. I cut a larger template. This is the mock up before I cut it out of the vinyl.

If I've learned anything from making the boots it's that I have small feet but big, chunky calves.

I found a pattern for the dogbones and cut them for my boots. Should they extend down to the sole, or are they okay there?

What should the length be on the straps holding the thigh boxes? The CRL says the boxes should hang down about an inch, but that seems really short. So what length should I set them from the bottom of the belt to the parachute clip and from the parachute clip to the opening of the box?

How do you attach the whole assembly to the belt? I’ve seen some people mention money clips, ALICE clips or the clips people use for power tools.

How do you guys attach the thermal detonator to the belt? I have a Studio Creations kit and they just sent me zip ties. Thanks in advance.

Good morning, all! I just bought an armor and helmet kit from Studio Creations, and I was wondering if anyone could post some assembly pictures and/or a WIP thread showing how they put the helmet together. They sent a bag of tabs, elastic and a single screw and I was wondering how everything went together. I've got a long weekend coming up, so I'm hoping to make some headway on this costume. Thanks in advance.
