OK, I need to figure out a forum name once I get this thing built! LOL (Suggestions are welcomed) Undersuit and Armour has arrived from Jim Tripon - May 26, 2022 (Jim has provided most of the V2 accessories needed and he was just shy of 4 weeks from deposit to delivery) Holster from Darman's Props arrived - May 13, 2022 (2 weeks to deliver) Belt, soft pouches, small leather pouch, M40 ammo pouch, grenades, and HK G3 magazines ordered from A & J Projects - Mid June 2022 delivery SE-14r and E11-D finished blasters ordered from Imperial Arms - no delivery date provided (Was told to expect 6 - 8 weeks, Mid to late June 2022 with that timeframe) Waiting on Imperial Boots to be released from quarantine to order my boots, balaclava, and gloves. Hoping for late a June delivery I have settled on a hard hat suspension for the helmet. I felt the foam may trap to much heat. I'll let you know how it works. Still on the helmet: I have not pulled the trigger on any electronics; ie, fans, audio, lighting - any advice is greatly appreciated. (I'm leaning towards TRamp and or UKSWRATH) Paint....... ugh! I am regretting building a DT as a first build! LOL I see four paint colours, one is specified. Does anyone know the recommended paint codes to use for the others or are they subjective? (Sorry, if I missed it in the forums) Metallic Dark Grey - (Tamiya Metallic Black TS40 - is recommended) Gloss Black Flat Black Weathered Silver I will decide on the type of paint after I speak with my local automotive paint supplier. I am well versed in finishing fiberglass for enamel's and lacquers. I couldn't stomach the two stage paints in the 90's, something in it made me sick. Imron will be my first modern choice since it provides a tough finish; the question, is it available at my supplier??? I'm going to follow Lt Dan's and Chaos's idea of a harness to hold the torso armor. I will decide on Velcro or snaps as I get closer to strapping the armor. I love the idea of the Plasti-dip coating on the interior of the armor! So, I'm going to sign off for now, re-evaluate my life choices to this point and, hopefully come up with a plan to finish this build. LOL Thanks for reading my ramblings! Rob

Hello TookBreaker, I am interested in the same build and will follow your lead. Good luck!
