"Dude, my gf won't even come over after she found out what you do around here."

 

"I ain't puttin that on!"

Great progress there.

 

As for the shin and boot armor... how tall are you, and what's you boot size. I'm pretty giant sized, and I have to make shins and boot covers for myself... just wondering.

 

Are you going to build your own vacuforming table?

hey Frank - I've been helping out Tom with some of the soft bits and just talkin abt armour

 

I know for a fact that he was hoping to use someone elses vac table rather than build from scratch - so any1 in alabama wanting to lend a hand, give him a shout out!

 

also - as was in another thread, some one found UK desert BDU dyed works. any1 wanting some of this camo pattern, feel free to pm me as I am UK based
