jcarlson101 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ok I've finished my bucket since I'm still waiting for soft goods to come in. I didn't think to take pictures until late in the build so here are the finished product pics. Let me know if I need to fix anything! I was able to squeeze a 3M SpeedGlas harness, 2 squirrel fans, wireless mic setup and 8 AA batteries. My head is about 55cm circumference and it's a cozy fit with everything in there. If anyone wants to see how it looks, let me know and I'll snap a few pics and post them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereswa11y Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Looks cool. I'm looking a buying a helmet soon. What made you decide to go with sc rather than ks? I have a big (ish) head and am considering a ks as they are supposed to be a bit bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarlson101 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I went with the SC bucket because it was the smaller of the choices, there were no bad reviews, and because of a discount when purchased with the rest of the armor. Ideally I would have purchased an LW that a forum member was selling. Unfortunately I logged on about an hour too late and lost that quick draw match.

jcarlson101 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Boots arrived so I was able to attach the holster. Lancer Spec Knees done! I also added a little extra cushion by getting a $5 pair of closed foam knee pads from Lowes, trimmed to fit and Velcro'd in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thxboy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 So just an fyi but you should really upload your images to photobucket (or similar image hosting) and the copy and paste he img code inline with your post. Uploading like you have the images are too small to see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarlson101 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 They are uploaded to imageshack and that is the forum code provided by them with thumbnail. Click it and be amazed at what you can see! If there is a different forum code that's more convenient, I don't know it and the image site did not provide a better one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookymufu Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I clicked on the pics and they took up the whole screen, you can see every detail....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thxboy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is what I get thorough tapatalk on mobile :-( I've used photobucket for years and just copy the image code. No need to click through and have weird browser issues it renders in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarlson101 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ok I looked at some code in other posts and updated my own so there should be full size pics inline with my posts. Hope that works for your browser Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarlson101 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 A few more pieces done. Only a few things left and waiting for the flak vest to come in to trim up everything. Decided to do something different with the TD and used a gatorade bottle top to attach the end caps. I might be able to use it for a somewhat usable storage... for a roll of qurters or mentos or something... Hopefully they'll hold up or don't unscrew during a troop... Lancer spec Biceps and Forearms. I messed up a little as I thought all the elastic was the same size. Turns out the Forearms are 1" elastic. I attached tthe correct elastic but the cuts are a little large. Hopefully that doesn't detract from Lancer spec With a little cardboard and duct tape, I made some boxes to put in the pouches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks good! Nice idea on the screw on caps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarlson101 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Test fit! Still waiting on undersuit and flak vest so I got on my guido track suit. Pretty much done with everything except trimming up the shoulder bells. I need some critique on the tank decal placement and thigh box placement, but if you see anything else out of place, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
