Retrofire Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Quite possibly Darn Texans Your knees are looking great! I ended up cutting the 0.5" in half and sewing on some Velcro to make it easier to put them on over my flight suit. Now i just have to find a way to pad the lower curve of the armor as the return edge really digs into the bottom of my knee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Nah, I indicated that I have OCD and would paint it to match the snout and rectangle. But, it's not a hard fast requirement at this time. It's just a lighter shade of gray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Ranger Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 My main goal was to not have as much to do on Saturday with rivets, and such. I really want to finish this belt, and my chest/back armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That is some good looking armor! The rounded shoulder bells look great. I really enjoyed building the updated SC. Look forward to seeing the belt. Great job Cheyenne! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Ranger Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Gonna see about doing to chest/back straps for the shoulders and sides later today when I wake up, and possibly continue on my belt. I've added velcro to where the material needs to stick, but haven't re-measured for the drop boxes since bringing it home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Ranger Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Tank came off, so going to velcro it to the inside of my back armor...Trial and error type day I guess. Also, got one shoulder bridge down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Both shoulder bridges done while tank velcro reinforcement dries. I am continually amazed at the variety of techniques I have encountered here to build armor. Really nice work Cheyenne I'm excited to see it coming together for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
