Cheers for the comments guys.

 

One small but vital step closer to completion.

 

I've made a funtionalversion of one of the front boxes to house the speaker unit.

I'll also make another box funtional to house the romFx unit and batteries.

 

More to come.....

Nice work! I have been planning to re-jig my amp setup. Currently I have the amp in a strap in the tank at the back of my armour. Nice fit and the cable is concealed as it runs into the helmet. However the issue is that, as the amp is behind my back, sound projects out behind me but is muffled by my body.

 

Nothing worse than a civvie saying "Pardon?" to a trooper :huh:

 

Was planning to move the amp to a front pouch - love your idea!

 

I'm also looking into a wireless setup to save trying to hide the mike lead from the pouch, should I go down this path.

 

Again, love the idea... you must be the Swamp MaGuyver! :)

Major Update....... :D

 

Had a brilliant day and got loads more done that I expected ( with some help from my mum and wife ).

 

Riding patch on pants - DONE

Reduced size of thigh pockets - DONE

Sorted out knee strapping - DONE

Velcro'd ammo boxes to cummberbund - DONE

 

All that's left to do is strap the 'drop boxes' and finish the shin armour ( right done, left to do ) and do some final weathering.

 

Here's the progress so far.

Almost there :)

Looks great buddy! You paint all your pouches/boxes to match the armor though?

 

 

Yeah I know I've got to do some alterations on some of em'.

 

I intend to add more stuff over the top, so that some are washed out gray and others are a little darker.

You're doing a great job mate! Makes me want to bring mine out of storage and make the changes needed for clearance. :)

Got the lower right leg sorted.

 

These 'heavily modded' boots are the closest I can get at the moment. As soon as Crow gets his movie accurate soled boots into production I'll swap these.

 

Note: I still have the circular greeblies to add to the sides of the toe armour.

Now to the left leg.
