Just popped in to show a peek of how painting is going https://imgur.com/a/rPJnteP Please ignore my messy place, but I think the gloss black areas came out looking pretty good, gotta finish the rest of the armor and then remove the tape off the helmet to get the other colors in ?

It doesnt have to be those specifically since I used them for the SE-14R, but I am looking to see what other people used.

I am currently sanding and will soon be priming my armor. So far I've followed what lancer used on his armor which is a 150 grit then a 400 grit in preparation for the priming. And on June 7th, the local Squad Leader is helping me out and we are using a paint booth to get the gloss black on the armor. I also wanted to see, if anyone had recommendations on spray paint for the flat black and weathered silver. I currently have used these two spray paints https://imgur.com/a/zexsidU https://imgur.com/a/u030WYn for my SE-14R but could they be good enough paint for the armor as well? Thanks!

Omg, i apppreciate that! I am actually looking for a place or recommendations on strapping for the death trooper armor. I want to start on rigging either a harness or whatever is comfortable for me before I seal the inside the armor with plastidip. So any recommendations would be appreciated from you or anyone for that matter. I contacted Ukswrath but unfortunately his Deathtrooper harness is temporarily unavailable so he recommended me to Geeky Pink. Still waiting on a reply tho.

https://imgur.com/a/jJDnwZJ Just got this in not too long ago. Came in super quick! Cant get started on it just yet as my place is being worked on at the moment so I have no space. I will be looking thru @lancer deathtrooper build as he also had a Tripon kit. Thoughts?

Hey can I ask what you used to connect the flashlights? Whats your setup? Do you have a button thats closer to the grip?

It is visible now and the link works. Thank you!

I am "unable to locate" with the direct link @Lt. Dan sent me or see the specialist program on the main forum page. https://forum.specops501st.com/forum/40-the-specialist-program/

It stops at that line that seperates the reciever and the butt stock.

Made some minor adjustments to the thr DLT-19. I used two aluminum pipes (i forgot the dimensions) to run thru the barrel and give it some stability as the front part of it was sagging from the middle. Now it just needs to he painted black and also drill in some holes for some anchor points. https://imgur.com/a/4f1a5j4

His is a fiberglass resin. So lighter and more flexible. But I failed to mention before for the shimming of my current armor is how I needed to shim some pieces for my body is near impossible for me, where as Jim says he can make pieces for me custom to my proportions. Like for my calves and forearms which the PAD pieces do not fit properly.

I got a partial delivery on my order from A&J Projects. It took some time but I am glad some came in. https://imgur.com/a/6P1lqu1 I got their Pauldron, Holster, 6 H&K magazines, and one leather pouch for the belt. They also put in 3 grenades by accident but they gave it to me as a gift. As far as my armor goes, I have decided to put up the armor for sale as the shimming of the fiberglass armor is too time consuming and way outside my noobish expertise. Certain piecesdo not fit my body and to shim them to my size would be a difficult task for me. Therefore, I will be moving forward with remeasuring myself with the undersuit and getting armor thru Jim Tripon. Hes willing to make pieces custom sizes if need be.

Here @Lt. Dan i took a couple pics. Tried my best to show the stitching. Sorry it took me so long. https://imgur.com/a/wSuDrCH

What I can say before I get a picture of the undersuit is that Jim's undersuit ribbing is stitched and not stamped like how the darksideclosets undersuits are. Will post photos soon

I have the undersuit from Jim Tripon already. I ordered from A&J the accessories like the MP40 shoulder pouches, belt pouches and boxes, and the magazines for the chest rig.
