Heathermcg412 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 So I was slowly building this until I hit con crunch time for Motor City as I had a photo op with Giancarlo Esposito, so rush the finish. I noticed afterwards my right shoulder wasn't centered, probably will stick some velcro under to mitigate that issue in the future, but...the question is? Good to go? Got a few tweaks? Go in a corner in shame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Aside from the shoulder issue you mentioned, you should also pull your cod down a bit, so it's not so scrunched. Also, remember that the chest pouches need to go over your belt, not under. That's all I can see from what you posted. Let us know if you have further questions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s allowed to be worn under the belt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Scratch that, you're right FogOut. Apologies for the oversight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermcg412 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Okay, so ive noticed my tank isnt centered. Before I break things trying to separate the tank from the back...is that something that'd get approval kicked back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 How did you attach it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermcg412 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Glue, not sure if it was epoxy or some other adhesive. Studio Creations has the flat section to glue the tank on. I can cut inside, shift, then reattach if needed. I can remove the bottom rivet and replace. The day before the con I torn apart my helmet because it wasn't straight.

FogOut Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I use magnets to attach the top part of the tank to the “hump” the bottom part of the tank goes on with Velcro. Are you referring to the rivet on top of the tank? Thru the tank topper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I think you should probably fix the tank if you can, so long as you feel you can remove it without externally damaging the armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a good thing in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 @Aradun I believe you can see the off-kilter tank in the photos in the first post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermcg412 Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 Good thing the inside is not visible, lots of hot glue and a little ledge made of expanded pvc board. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Always a good idea to shoot some photos to your GML to ensure you're on the right track. We can help you based on the CRL but it's the GML that will ultimately approve you within the garrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
