What I have to do is bend my foot into a angle to be able to get my foot to slide down through the boot and armour 'hoop' and then flatten my foot into the sole of the boots... hopefully that makes sense,at least you know you aren't the only one with the problem excellent job on the weathering of the helmet by the way,it looks natural and like it's meant to be there!

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw these pictures,I have the exact same problem!🤣

Yeah, it's worth a go I think, it maybe worth considering printing some proper PLA first though, as TPU / stretchy material is a more fiddly material to print , just to ease yourself into 3d printing

I will say though,it does make me wonder WHY you never see anyone use it,I've never seen large YouTube channels mention it or use it.. it just doesn't seem commonly used, even in the USA,I think.

I can't find much information on the page itself, other than on the text 'blurb' where it states that it's more flexible than TPU ...? Probably worth contacting the seller to make sure though, maybe. Importing from the states would be a absolute stinger!!!

Obviously, for whatever reason,it's region specific, if it's available or not.I have various friends dotted around Europe that don't seem to be able to source any easily ,but perhaps Plasma might live in a area that it's available???

Strangely,it's not available in the UK,at all, anywhere,as far as I can tell only TPU is available,why that is I have no idea!!

I'm interested if you can locate some flexible PLA as it's not something I've really seen mentioned much,at all .

https://sionnachstudios.com/tutorial-finishing-rubber-armor-and-props/ Although it's not something I've personally done ,the link above gives good advice on painting TPU and may? Possibly help with flexible PLA . I must admit I've not seen many people mention or use flexible PLA, although it does sound interesting!

After putting my build progress up on the UK garrison site and then hitting the brick wall of not receiving my armour, a very kind person offered me theirs, which they had purchased on the first run,I believe, however it had never been constructed or used . I'll be honest,it was sold as being sized to him, but there's no way he would of fitted into it,as he was quite a stocky man.🤷‍♂️ I've been 3dprinting for several years now and can honestly say the quality of the printing was subpar and hidden by thick layers of paint. I can only imagine how many people Denis has let down and not supplied orders ,that were taken and not fulfilled in a timely manner, to be honest I'm quite surprised that he is still listed as a recommended vendor,as I stated last year he has lied to multiple people on here and on Facebook, along with taking far too long to make armour.In one way ,I have been lucky that I was able to fulfill my dream, others were no doubt not, which saddens me greatly..

Just to let anyone who has been following my saga,I did not ever receive my armour or a refund from armoryshop props / Denis vorobiev / spiel, before he disappeared and also removed the propshop Facebook page ! I will be keeping my eye out for when he rears his head again under a different business name... however I was able to obtain / pay for another set and have gained clearance! Thanks for every ones help ,it will always be truly appreciate.

Congratulations, you've been so unbelievably helpful,I couldn't of got things done without your help, well deserved fellow Justin

I've heard nothing from them, other than when I asked 3 weeks ago about selling my armour to someone else and getting a refund. They said no, we'll send it when we can . I've just checked on their FB page and it's only helmets they are sending out,I'll keep you posted on any correspondence I receive though.

I would like to reiterate my thanks and appreciation to all of you, you have been so very helpful ,I am eternally grateful for all your kind gestures . thank you ❤️

Cheers for the heads-up,I can read their page,I'm just not allowed to comment! To be honest I wasn't expecting my order to be able to be sent any time soon, due to the war. Again ,there's not much I can do🤷‍♂️and to be quite honest, at this point I'd rather get a refund as this whole situation has been quite a s#it show..

Here you go @TreeHuggerMatt these are all the pictures sent,it has to be said it took quite a while for them to be sent....I've noticed that the front panel with the buttons on is still being made to be silver on the top,for some reason 🤷‍♂️Im interested to know if they have listened to my request for the long black line not to be added on the stomach piece, as it's not found on the screen used costume!? We shall see at some point in the future. https://ibb.co/album/YB02QL

Thanks for the pointer of reading till the end 😂.i have finally been contacted by Denis and I received a few pictures about a week ago, however due to the current situation , I have chosen to wait until a courier service can be used rather than the Russian Postal service.

Sorry to be a bother but I'd like some clarification on a small detail pertaining to level 2.in the CRL it states "The first left panel has a tube on top that then runs up the left side and then across the top of the recess", I've noticed that Hask has this detail however Ruthar does not, would the omission of this detail hinder me in gaining level 2 ?

I've accidentally made the larger pouch the size needed to be covered by the white plastic front,oh well at least it's useful 😆

@Hask @Rutharthanks,it seems the 2 smaller ones I've made are the correct size for the large size and I just need to make a smaller one. Thanks for your help!!

Quick question if I may? What sizes are the leather pouches supposed to be ? And what are the requirements for level 2 with the pouches? Is it 2 small and one large or the other way round?? https://ibb.co/9Gg6vyM

I have attempted many times to contact Denis over the past 4 months, as I have stated and haven't gotten one single email reply, you contact him and get a immediate response 🤔!!!I have spoken to employees from both PayPal and my bank today and I can assure you I cannot get a refund from either of them due to the time that has past . I understand that a one man operation will take a lot longer to produce items than a business, but I do believe Denis has his own premises and multiple employees and multiple 3d printers! I have provided many examples of it being stated that my purchase was completed,yet he cannot provide one photo,to prove I'm wrong??I have given photographic proof on every single accusation I have made. There's not much more that I can do,I have explored every possible avenue and have contacted him multiple times to no avail. Non of the problems registered on the vendor problems page concerning prop shop ever got rectified , as I have contacted each person regarding their problem, also note the ignored messages and emails from each individual... I do appreciate that you have tried to help,and I am grateful .
