Sibbel29's first built

[sibbel29]

Glued my tank on the backarmor with 2 component epoxy glue and it holds like a charm! Also used a rivet on the bottom of the tank to secure it.

 

 

 

 

Now I need to sew all straps and put on the decals.. Almost finished

I'm clearly too picky Being overtaken by other builds now. Momentum has slowed

 

Awaiting E6000 to do some snap-dome work, greeblies and attach L plate for tank top attachment before moving to the more detailed soft part mesaurements once chest armour is in place

 

Going with the T- velcro or other? I'm considering a Tstrap, but domed in rather than velcro so it sits on the webbing rather than the plastics

[sibbel29]

hahah no worries Craig! everyone is building his own way, own speed..:-)

 

yeah, it is gonna be a T-velcro and I am attaching the cloth so I have the shoulderwrap and the T-velcro in one piece ;-)

Just bought a contruction helmet and some snaps for my helmet.

 

The liner is going to be glued inside my Altmann and the snaps are for my

chinstrap

Same liner I ended up with. Mine the squares that secured it sits on the lip of the helmet top just right for stability

Your downwards may need tweaking. Take a look at it square on. Think it's meant to have a squared look from the back (above here)

Posssiiibllyyy

 

Have to have someone whos not also mid-build check on it to confirm

 

Example CRL is a goodie.. flush on it appears square

[Oblivian]

The other trick I see is use laser level line. Or I tried this morning with a test, a slight slit in cardboard with a torch behind works too

[sibbel29]

I understand what you mean.. It sure looks different on the pic as in real life though.. Difficult to take a pic without showing the roundings of the tank.. It is misleading hahaa

All straps are ready including my shoulderstraps which look amazing as I may say..

Out of curiosity.. Used the Offset hole on tank topper, or re-drilled the 'middle' one thats been filled

 

CRL calls for 'in the middle' and if I was to do that (the filled one and ignore the drilled), its a lot more centred along the back of the tank too!

[sibbel29]

I had the pre-drilled hole centered on the tank topper, but I read some SC kits had the hole offset.. If you have this offset as well, close the hole and redrill it. CRL says centered! I glued the tank topper on the tank, drilled the hole further through the tank and riveted.. Then glued the tank on the backarmor with 2 component epoxy glue and riveted it at the bottom.. All set 😎

Yep it's not inline with the red line that's for sure. But was, once. Odd.

Filled the pouches up with soft isolation foam, works like a charm!
