Kosejonas Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi guys! So I finished my helmet a little while ago, and I've been very impatient to complete the rest of my armor. So I got some help from two Biker buddies of mine and we built my entire armor in 4 days. I'm really proud of the result! Let me know what you think PS: My bund and pouches was weathered harder after these pictures, and I am also aware that my forearms are supposed to go a few inches over the gloves. New pictures will be taken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyjellyfish77 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Pretty good. I'd raise those thigh boxes up a bit. Make sure those pouches are on the outside edge of the vertical ribs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Your drop boxes are too low. They should only be an inch or two below the belt. Pull your belt up to meet the bottom of your pouches. Turn your arm armor more forward. In other words, try to make yourself look as much like this as possible: http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:TB_bikerscout_full.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Fox Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Your back armor looks awfully low. I'm not sure if it's going to keep you from being approved but you might raise it and trim it at the shoulder bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's going to keep you from being approved but you might raise it and trim it at the shoulder bridges. Yeah I know it's a bit low. Though I'm not quite sure myself if it will be approved or not. I have seen back armor being this low many times before, so I quess it will go through. But I will see what I can do about it anyway Thanks for all the feedback guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hey bro. Pads need major adjusting, shoulders need to come up a tad, boxes come up a lot. Trim the shoulder strap to raise up the back armor.

Kosejonas Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've done all the modifications now, and will try to take new pictures this afternoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosejonas Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ok, so I've done quite a few modifications now. I didn't have anyone to take the pictures for me, so I had to do it this way to give you guys a somewhat visual on how the process is going Notice the dropboxes. In the three first photos, they are as I adjusted them. In the fourth pictures I raised them abit to see if that was more correct. I've used the Celebration 2007 Biker Pics thread as reference. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=17501&hl=%2Breference+%2Bpictures&fromsearch=1 Not done yet and have some things to fix, but I think it's getting there Jonas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubonos Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Looking good trooper! Seems the others have pointed out the boxes and buckles, so no need to harp on that.

Kosejonas Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm thinking of trim the shoulder bells abit more. More like Pandatrooper's shoulder bells: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781&st=60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
