Amazing work sir ! May be reaching out to you eventually

Hey guys, got a small intercleavage crack on my chest armor. It is only on the outside of the armor , not all the way through . Have sone suggestions already on repair , wanted to get sone other perspective ideas on easiest repair . Thanks !

I worked on mine tonight . Got it pinned . Gonna stitch tomorrow

Thank you sir . That list is great help . 👍👍

Kropserckles are acceptable as 501 st ? They do have finished ones available.

Who is making finished helmets that are approvable ? I know about RS props but aside from them ? I did not want to be in a race to get approved by Aug 24 from a vendor that I was gonna use . Any help or direction is appreciated

Nice . Did you take a torch to the clips or cold bend them ? Thanks for the response . 👍

Hey , I have a MonCal armor set that I am assembling. The thermal det is a hose. I am supposed to drill and put the screws into the hose . I don’t think there is enough real estate for the screws to purchase to hold over time . Has anyone filled the hose with a resin or put a dowel rod in there for rigidity to give the belt clips purchase ? New to this hobby / lifestyle. All help appreciated

Got my flight suit today . Legs need to be taken in . How snug should the elastic be on the thighs ? Mine def needs to be tightened up . Pilot bay had it out the door in about 1 day . Really happy with the quality of the construction.

How was the fit ? I am sticky and 5’6” . I always have issues fitting my back then arms being too long

Is it best to wait until armor is done to try to make the cummerbund and cod piece?

I felt for a first time builder start with the most finished kit first . Hopefully less frustrating moments

It is me .

I ordered my armor this am before my workday started

Iron , I purchased the MontCal this am . The back tank assembly and holster made it worth it to me . I don’t know if I will ever move to 501 st stuff but I want the correct stuff if I do . I got a black series scout helmet for an 18th century immersion event . A fellow reenactor is a Star Wars geek and shows up with a Mando helmet or Capt Rex with his 18th century stuff. I was like gonna do the same . Do I got the black series helmet . It went from just the helmet to well damn I am gonna rock this for Halloween . A few years ago I thought of 501 but I thought I have a room just for 18th century. What am I thinking .. well I got armor coming 😬😬😃😃👍👍
