Hey Fans,

Had more done over the weekend...installed a combination of both snaps and velcro to my armor and vest. The acrylic screen on my chest plate is just taped on temporarily until my chest lights arrive. ;)

And yes, for you sharp eyed eagles, I'm missing a centre snap...I ran out! :lol: I think I should be investing in shares for snaps and buttons. :rolleyes:

Also did a bit of stitching for my thong... :lol:
Image

And until my rubber knees arrive, I had my FP styrene ones reinforced with a styrene band at the stress areas and built my strapping on that. Should that styrene band break, I can always replace it...need more velcro though.. :P
Image

Some test shots of the suit...still abit more work to be done overall; weathering, decal, dullcoating, adjustments etc...especially dirtying up the suit.

For the JP & DIY harness fans, here's what it's suppose to look like if you do it correctly:

Almost there!

Stay safe,

Tim.

I was hoping the suit could be ready for this trip. Happy you did it in time! Check and re-check nothing's hanging loose before you leave.This is great stuff!
