Sweet, I had a feeling you’d come around to the biker side eventually.

Looking forward to your build. Jealous of you UK folks who are local to RS and chef though.

Best day ever, as you well know!

I have been thinking about ways to keep the blaster secure in the holster. I plan on sanding down the trigger and replacing it with a magnet the same size then have a corresponding one in the boot.

Done

Armour/bund levels, what do you think?

The chest armor, bund, and belt placement looks okay to me.

As a rule of thumb, I tell folks to try and position the top edge of the belt just under your navel. That's approximately where it should sit.

 

[Hask]

Thats exactly where the belt is 😀

Added elastic into right boot to help prevent any sagging.

Hi Kris. This is looking good and the only thing I could suggest is to tighten up the drop boxes to about 2.5-3cm from the belt and pull up the bund a bit so it doesn't bunch under the belt. That's all fitment with the soft armor so it'll adjust as you start wearing it more and more. This looks ready to go to the UKG GMLs! Nice work!!

Thanks Peter. As you say its getting used to where everything goes, I am also going to add more velco to the flightsuit so I can keep the Bicep and knees in place.
