BikerScout007 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm copying off of Shaun Not a full blown build thread, as I forgot to take progress pictures. Just a few snaps of what I've done with the great Armor and belt I received. My Strider armor vs. my old SC armor: Comparison of the back. SC left, Strider right The Strider armor all strapped up With the tank strapped on. I have it hanging down low so you all can see how the elastic loops over the top of the back armor Elastic attached to the rivets I used a parachute clip to connect the two ends together And I forgot to post the belt! I didn't have enough nylon webbing to go all the way around the belt so I just used segments. But the cotton webbing I ran all the way through as a continuous piece, with the ends sewn to the nylon. The webbing I used was 48 inches. And a test fit! That is still the SC armor on my arms, I don't have those pieces from the Strider kit. The shoulder bells connect to my armor with zip ties and velcro. I had them hot glued to my SC which was working great until we had a really hot day here and the glue melted! Though I have the TD box and end caps, I still need to get the wire from Shaun and a tube to put them around, so I'll be using my old SC TD for the foreseeable future. I want to get longer nylon straps for the belt and replace the ones I have on there now. I measured them the same length as my SC straps but the Strider belt is firmer and doesn't have as much give as the SC. Also, I have attached the pouches to my cummerbund and they now hang in a more natural and screen accurate manner. They always seem to come down at a weird angle when they are attached to the chest armor and I'd rather have them look right then be worried about them supporting a speaker or other items. My personal preference! I need to put some foam in them too. Hope this helps or gives you some good ideas! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 I need to get mine together. Nice work! I didn't get a full kit so I still need to use my SC arm and leg armor, and my old TD. But so glad to have an accurate chest piece and one piece belt! With accurate sized dropboxes. Strider did a great job with this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauitsch Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes to be honest there wasn't much to do! He did a great job of trimming the armor. Same here, it was the perfect pre-worked kit, just had to do the strapping and well... I did a full 2k paint job on it beofrehand and now I could even throw it on concrete without getting any scratch on it.. Weathering is also final and fixed eternaly that way Consti, what are we doing in late September? I guess we might have a group pic to do^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I still haven't figured out what way I wanna trim my knees....I've seen it done two different ways. The scout reaching for his blaster on the speeder which I like and then the costuming book pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
