Just looking at CE pics for reference. The insert part finished printing and I glued it on last night so will post pics with it in place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I know what u mean mate. It is different in places. The horizontal lines are deeper and more defined. Obviously it's taller but this will be covered by the chest plate. I think Tom found that once trooping the ab could come out from under the chest ( didn't u extend yours cos of that?). Will see how it looks once filled and sanded.

So a quick update. Doing a couple of reprints currently. Realised that when I first started my build and received my armour I did the resin coating on everything that other people had advised. Being a noob to it, I put it on heavy and messy. Now as I finish sanding some bits I realised I have lost some important details in certain areas. Namely the raised cover strips. I have managed to put them back in on the shins and biceps but the forearms were to far gone. Decided to reprint. They were a bit long anyways. They are done completely with filler and spray putty. Need to sand to 1000grit. Had to redo left arm greeblies also. The other big reprint is the ab plate. My files from Tom have a different size/design than the original one I got from armoryshop. Also having resined my original plate heavily the resin filled the important details in and I was really struggling to sort them so... reprint! Had to print in two parts to fit my print table size. Glued the two together and applied filler Glued plasticard across the joins from the back The front AB insert is currently printing. Will fit it tomorrow. Then filling/sanding/filling sanding etc etc Comparison shot of new and old Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome. As nanotek has said there is Armoryshop, 850 and Jim tripon u know of. Also Andrew Mcclary is making gel coated fibreglass. If u are after pics of 850 armour there are several build threads here by people with that armour. Good luck with build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

U going full electronics too brother? If Tom Campbell's files weren't so awesome and made such a solid durable blaster I would be looking at a full metal build also Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

E11d electrics all in and really pleased (thx to Mark T[emoji16]). LEDs all run off a 9v battery in the hengstler. Switch also located in hengstler. Under barrel laser part controlled via a magnet in my glove and a reed switch located near the trigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So after much discussion it became clear the mod I carried out to the shins did not fit the screen used armour or the crl. The wrap is indeed part of the outer side of the shin. I have now pulled them apart and started over. Happy with what I have managed to do It has also given me a chance to make the bottom of the wrap more accurate to screen used shin So my complete armour and helmet (apart from shins) has been sanded to 1000grit. Nearly paint time [emoji106] Redid my arm rockets so not as silver. More gunmetal now (pic is a bit deceptive). I have also redone all the buckles. Too much silver going on so I painted over them with matt Black and sanded to expose the silver underneath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's great mate. Armour party will be good to help with fitting the armour to you when u reach that stage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is perfect mate. 👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

U sliced the rear main part in half? I have done it both ways. Takes a bit more work with reinforcing and then filling and finishing but easier to get a print to work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very good mate. Some of those faceplate bits are quite hard to get to print right but you look to have got the hang of it quick. What brand of filament are you using? I found some string worse than others Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What I should probably add is that the gml is not wrong. It is screen accurate for the wrap around part to be part of the outer and not glued to the inner. It is also in the crl as this. It's just super annoying that this can be cleared by other garrisons Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx synsei. Unfortunately big set back for me today. The mod I did to my shins is a no go for clearance. The wrap around piece I chopped needs to be attached to the outer part as per the crl. I did the mod on the advice of my armourer but the gml is not happy about it. Also I know this is how denis has been doing the shins for awhile and people in other countries have been cleared. Not in the UK tho. It also means all the other guys with the armoryshop shins that have this mod also cannot get cleared in the UK. This includes two guys who have received theirs finished from denis. Gutted is not the word. So back to square one on those. The mod made them almost bearable to get on and off and when worn and closed up I can't see who would notice (especially when painted gloss black). Not 100% sure on what I will do to sort them. 😬 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey. I got the sticker from a UK guy called Stuart Galloway. Mark highlighted to a few of us the absence of it on some of our se14r's so Stuart went ahead and designed and made some. Mark was referring to this pic from Chris pearsons celebration pictures If u were after one drop him a msg on FB Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx Mate. To be fair my wife is being amazing and giving me a lot of free rein to hide out in the garage building. She has also stopped moaning about the constant deliveries to the house. I think she wants my build done as much as I do now

Last one for now I promise 😠Wife gave me a pass this weekend so went to town on all my armour. So everything has been given a go over with 240 grit I am about halfway through them again with 400grit. Then on to 1000 and that should do it before paint. Did some fibreglass reinforcing to my printed bucket. Big difference from when I did fibreglassing in the summer. Complete nightmare getting the resin to go off. It has however added a bit of weight to it which is good Did some filling of the reglued shin pieces. The pic is of the shins opened up And we have a new addition to the house which is currently freaking everybody out [emoji23] will hopefully help me with strapping etc and will be awesome as a mannequin for my armour to sit on when I eventually get my game room/man cave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Added the sticker from stuart galloway so my se14r. Perfect solution Finished up my E11d paint and decals Put some heat effect on this and my Roman version. Have sold the Roman one on now. Next step is electrics in the Tom Campbell version Been doing a few bits that I can but yet again the cold is really holding me up. So after chopping that piece off the shin and gluing then on I tried them on with undersuit and boots... but didn't factor that the boots will spread the shins open [emoji849][emoji51] So, prised them back off (E6000 thankfully) and Re stuck. Another suit up and found the left hand perfect but right still got a gap so redid that one. Had another suit up and have got it just right this time Even with foot bent heavily no problems so now need to do some filling work to tidy it up A plus point is that they are a lot easier to get on and off this way [emoji106] Got my buckled mounted on the chest. Having the Paul prentice extended straps under the buckle means they sit really nice on the chest Got the chest rig out and working out where I will be sewing the straps into it Got some more resin and some tissue fibreglass matting to line the inside of my printed helmets. Got the 96% scale one near finished with filling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Made my visor for the printed lid. Is clearer to see out of than my anovos and u can't see my eyes as easy as the anovos. I will add some tint stuff they use on car glass to completely eliminate. Cut the shape out of 3mm acrylic, stuck in oven for 20 mins. I had already 3d printed the lens shape so held the acrylic to it and dunked in water Also added some vinyl to one of my grenades. Liking the look. Will look cool in photos. Carried out the mod to the back plate tonite for the straps which involved drilling and dremelling two slots to feed them through. Should work well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couple of other bits I am working on. Bought some straps from Paul Prentice. They have a curve to them and they sit perfectly on the armour. Need to work out how I am going to fit them fully with the buckles. Any method you think works the best Mark? They are nice and long. I am thinking of cutting a slot in the back plate for them to feed through. I also got some resin buckles from Paul which are awesome When u compare them to How straight straps sit you can see how good curved ones Work. Here is the dodge car mat ones: And the ones 3d printed by armoryshop shop: I had not been happy with any of the others so these are a godsend from Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been working on E11d some more. Got lots of paint on it and swim decals now. Waiting on some white vinyl to do the pinstripe and need to do some heat effect on the end of the barrel For now I am not going to fit lights but I have left it so I can upgrade in future. I put red acrylic into the under barrel laser light, the hengstler and the rear of the barrel. Frosted acrylic in the left side of the barrel. I am not good enough with electrics and don't know anyone who is who I can get to help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So helmet I am possibly going to replace my anovos with my printed lid. The anovos weighs a ton and I get a sore neck quite easily. I am very pleased with how the finish is turning out [attachment=0]sam_1080.jpg[/attachment] this way I can get it painted at same time and the paint will match. I can also sell the anovos and recover some money. I have also printed one at 92% for my daughter and painted it to see how well I could do with rattle cans. Oddly enough it actually fits me! Here it is next to the anovos Have toyed with painting all my armour but it took a lot of work just painting the helmet to a nice finish. Still plan on a bodyshop job. I have printed one at 96% but not assembled it yet. Will look at investing in UKswraths sound system to go in the helmet also as really impressed with it.

Realised I have completely let my build thread here go dead. Although us UKGarrison guys have our separate forum with build threads I was trying to update this one also on the off chance it helps someone else with their builds so I will do some copy and pasting to update So update Way, way overdue. Will do a couple of posts. First one will cover armour. Will confess to losing some motivation on this build, esp. now it's dark and cold. Hard to get motivated to go to garage and build in freezing cold. Build has still been moving on and think I am getting somewhere but the cost has also been a factor. I never really started with a budget but this is a very expensive build 🙄 Got everything laid out the other day. Apart from a few places I think I am ready for paint. To be fair I think maybe I have gone overboard with the finish but the detail is so important on this build and I only plan on painting this once so if I can spend a bit more time eliminating print lines then I have Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They look a lot like the same ones I have from Paul prentice 🙄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
