sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 How exciting! Today I am starting on my armor. I am starting with the belt, preparing the slots and measured the points where to drill the holes for the rivets. In this topic , I will keep you all posted on the progress!

sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Needs polishing , but first slots are ready Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Drilling the holes, I taped some rough painters tape over the side, to prevent the drill is slipping away Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Part one is finished Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
01Hawk Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Not sure if you are looking to get approved ( which is fine if you aren't ) but I don't think the rivets in the belt will pass. You can glue the pieces with E6000 and it will hold
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 I want to get approved. talked to the liason of my garrison and saw several clearance pics here where rivets has been used. For lancer you need to glue the belt as rivets arent allowed.. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Maybe some of the other guys can clear this up for me .. Is my belt with rivets basic clearance material? Thanks! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
01Hawk Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I went back and looked it up- I am wrong - the 501st page says one piece look is for level 2 only. Sorry about that. 1
Griffin-X Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah, he can build it with two rivets for general clearance, but will need only one for Lancer approval. 1
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks hawk01 and no worries buddy!! Thanks griffin!! , shall I paint the rivets head white? All clear 😎😎😎!! What an amazing forum is this! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
01Hawk Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 The concern I had was that the rivets connect the ends to the center belt. I really thought that had to be glued for basic. If it was 2 for the webbing I could see that getting by but I swore they had to be glued to the center section for basic 1
sibbel29 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah, it is sometimes hard to know all the rules by heart mate.. I asked the liason of my garrison before rivetting especially for this! It all worked out buddy! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
4505Marcel Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Rivits are fine for standard clearance 1

sibbel29 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 Another update: I need to sew the velcro and split the 2" wrbbing before I can attach the 2" webbing on the belt with rivets Than I can adjust the length and attach the 1,5" webbing to the 2" webbing We are getting there!

sibbel29 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 Small update because of lack of time during the holidays : Sewed the velcro on the straps of the belt and drilled the holes, so I can attach them with rivets. Then adjust the 1,5" webbing at the right length and attach them with rivets to the 2" webbing. When this is finished I start with the TD Merry xmas and happy holidays everyone Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 Finished! Lets start on the thermal detonator! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Glued the greeblies, drilled the holes and spraypainted the tube, will be dry tomorrow, maybe spray on another layer ! We are getting there Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 flipped the greeblie as I noticed it was upside down and finished the rest of the Thermal Detonator.. yes! next step: chest and back armor!

sibbel29 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Worked on the tank, elastic and velcro and testfitted the chest- and backarmor. I am a bit stuck on the chest- and backarmor. I am in doubt if I need to trim the ends on the shoulders. I use a gap of 2" in my shouders . Any thoughts or advice? Thanks! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
Oblivian Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Snap. Is there a hidden camera here lol... At same point with 2cm gap at shoulders. Seems to bring up the front cut closer to the neck but that's about it. So going with it for now, guessing I can adjust later if need be but can't add it back Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk
Oblivian Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 After such tests, I'm also wondering how big to make the curves to stop getting snagged but leave strength Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk
sibbel29 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 After directions and feedback of Chunk I came to the conclusion I don't have to trim at all, i did a retest and all suits fine!!! YES!! Finally have some time of this weekend so hope to make some big progress!! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
