Thats just amazing

need to sort out paints etc for the very slimey shoulder straps... Pretty sure I can remember what @Dropkick said I needed lol

Shoulder strap cut outs made and cut and "j" hooks made in the biceps.

Bit of progress Rear of back armour the box greeblies were a bit soft so printed very very thin ones and iterated till got right size and thickness. Collar prongs weren’t the best so drilled out receptacle in chest and sanded them with dremel wheel so now fit really well. Will see if need to do anything at first proper fit when have soft goods. Opened up slots for the shoulder straps so now waiting for the MPSB straps and we can take a look at that. Buckles had the slot pre cut so that is one less job. Have pics and will upload later Still need to square the two holes

The back box greeblies were a bit blobby so sized and printed some very thin covers of the parts to sharpen it up but still stay within the box

Daft little update. Biceps glued together , still gonna add a slit and have it flex at the back and then use either rubber cord or elastic. Gave everything a soft wipe with a scotch pad ( the red ones ) to add a better key and weather depending it’s primer time. Can add the colour to all the bits and stilll then mod the shoulder bridges and sides when I need to Have ordered some shoulder straps from Paul prentice and have the bell brackets and elastic strap already. have the webbing and snaps ready to go and more industrial Velcro than I know what to do with. Tempted to use the Velcro hook the bells up rather than a snap to make it easier to dress and connect the bell to the bicep in the usual way.

Hhahaa. All good man Wrapped a tiny bit of t shirt round it and drowned it in superglue. I could sand it off but its now going to be weathering lol

Flippin eck thats amazing.. Didn't realise just how off axis the scopes were

who is that. id like to follow them

is the muzzle tip the one from the dlt 20? As for the mp40 files I have some but not sure if the right ones but says is full scale. Any files that we can make print would be great but im crap at CAD sorry

The filling in is an easy fix with either milliput or similar which can be set oand sanded or a 3d printed part such as the one for the 105 I have

thanks man. Guess what happened to me today lol

you could make a tidy pile selling them mods for the mp40 , also I might beg for some of that rubber cos edinburgh.. Stuff looks amazing mate.

I’ve had a think and I’m going to make the armour as is and not make IT fit me but use it as an incentive and that post is a huge inspiration and I’ll make ME fit the armour. clear the v1 and have fun and if all goes well get a new jacket and trousers 😂😂

Also getting another set of MPSB straps and buckles as they'll be easier to paint and are spot on

It is indeed the 2 part bicep so the white line is roughly where the cut will go and the shim placed

that’s amazing!! I’ve also been approved for mounjaro so that will help. in the mean time I would need to slice the inside of the bicep and then add a shim or what I can do is clear v1. lose weight and then will have a better chance. The armour is bigger than the normal so can get into that sooner so it all gonna help

Armour has arrived and has been modified to increase the size but biceps are too narrow ( my fault as too fat ) and armour shell sits funny but thats just gonna need trimming to shape when have the jacket and trousers.. So plan is to print a modified bicep shell and add to the fibreglass one and lose more flipping weight and have the armour as an incentive. Can still get out there with the v1 in the meantime.... needed a kick to get thinner and this may as well be it

Armour on way , should be here this week or Monday

Armour produced and awaiting shipping

Looks like the e-11 is the r1 version minus the flashlight going off s2

ICAT is the same armour. Just different paint scheme

Clear silicone and black oil paint ordered to sort the shoulder straps.. Have all the Velcro , webbing and snaps id need and will get some more adhesive felt for the inside faces of the armour and then clear out the buckle space

order placed for armour and helmet

if you want abs then could do worse than Imperial surplus
