[Forest Ranger]

Mine's pretty close to my snout, I'll double check though.

Jim said no issue with it being off a little, it's a preference, and won't interfere when I apply for lancer.

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.

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.

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.

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!

[Griffin-X]

Cheyenne is an awesome trooper...!

Me too....i am thinking of putting some thin foam weather stripping in that area

 

Something like this

I went ahead and went with the 1.5" elastic for my biceps.

You taught me best! See ya tomorrow!

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.

[Bubonos]

Looking great trooper! You will be dodging trees with the best soon enough!

 

[Forest Ranger]

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.

[Forest Ranger]

Both shoulder bridges done while tank velcro reinforcement dries.

If that does not get it we'll go hard core on it. Nice work!

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!

Thanks

I'm just as amazed by everyone's dedication to variety with their build.
