Yeah I did mine through the ears but had to put a wall of e6000 to have it "float" in the ear so that it would lessen the vibration pick up.
I might have to try something like that. I'll need to bore out the holes some more first. Thanks!

Did you place the mic's threw the plastic under the rubber brow next to the ears? That's how I have seen them done. Then maybe insulate with some kind of silicone and foam behind it. Just guessing here. Would like to know how other people have solved that problem.
I placed the microphones behind the middle of the ears. My guess is the microphones are picking up the vibration of the fans through the plastic.

One of the first things I did with my TK helmet was install a couple of 5v fans towards the front. Since then it's been difficult to hear while the fans are running. So then next step was a hearing aid of some sort. I know there's that guy who makes them and sells for 60 bucks on the FISD forum but that's a bit pricey for me. While wandering around a Radio Shack I stumbled upon this...
I spent about an hour and a half soldering and got this...
And installed...
Pretty cool, only problem is the noise from the fans have been amplified and I definitely can't hear anything else. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I was able to find an all black Wilson compression shirt with a small logo at Big 5 and all black Champion running tights on Amazon.

Started a Facebook group for the build. Included those who had posted interest. Anyone else who wants to get in on this, let me know and I'll add you.
Can you add me to your Facebook group?

Welcome Frankie! I recently finished my kit. If there's anything I can help with, feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.

After a couple of fixes and acquisition of said blaster, I figured it was time to submit for EIB. I don't anticipate any major issues since I built with centurion in mind. I just hope they think I built my TK as well as I think I did.

Get heavy duty woven elastic from strapworks.com
Back that area with another strip of plastic.
I would avoid painting, as the color/sheen will never match. Stick with ABS paste, sanding and polishing. Make sure you are using the same plastic as your kit for the ABS paste.
Thank you again Mr. Stutz! I am having a little trouble with the abs paste. I get bubbles once it dries. I have sanded the area after, starting with 220 then 400 and finished with 1500. When I polish after it comes out very smooth but not as shiny. I think I might have to get an even finer grit sandpaper and try a different polish.

Apparently using the webbing was my bad. I was under the impression that elastic would be to weak. I'm replacing the nylon webbing with some of my 1 inch elastic I have left over. I applied some abs paste to some of the more damaged holes and after extensive sanding and polishing, I'm not entirely happy with the outcome.
You can tell that top hole had the worst blow out.
I want to try painting over the area.

So 4 of 6 rivets caused cracking in my kidney to ab connection. Glued reinforcement abs strips behind holes and abs pasted the tops. Lots of sanding and polishing in my future. Anybody else have this issue with any kit? Have suggestions on how to best move forward or did I cover it.

That's a very typical mod if you are having trouble walking. Not a problem at all.
Thanks! I'm going to give it a try.

Would it detrimental to trim the bottom back of thighs and upper calf? I feel like this will increase mobility and comfort.

Hello, this is TK-21115 requesting access.

I have used a couple different types of blue tape. One is your typical blue masking tape, the other was for delicate surfaces and both made by 3M. I like the delicate surface one more, it seems to leave a cleaner edge.

So I think I'm done with the armor, I'm going to apply as soon as I get my blaster and holster. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Did you strap your biceps to your shoulder bells yet? You stated it's just a test fit, so probably not, but if you did, raise your biceps up and under your shoulder bells more. The elbow bend is one of the spots the armor can "bite" you if they are too close. Getting there!!
I did add straps on the shoulder bell for the biceps. I'd post a picture but for some reason I am unable to upload a picture.

For a test fit, that's looking pretty good!
While Dean is our expert onTK's as GML--looks like you're going to have a problem with your knees/shins being too close together. Shins are riding pretty high on your boots. Can they be dropped down a little?
Thank you for your input! I spoke with the GML before and he's been helpful. The shins were pretty tight on the tops of my TKBoots but I am going to try to bring them down a little somehow. The thighs weren't secured very well, I had the straps tucked in to my pants waistband. Despite the near completed look I have quite a bit of work to do. Still need to make my belt, finish the helmet and have some small stuff to work on.

This is just a test fit.

MTK is a great kit. Looks pretty good so far. I'm a fan of the authentic bracket strapping system. I'm assuming that top middle bracket on our kidney isn't screwed on one side since it's misaligned. Is there a reason why the buttons for your belt aren't even? Doesn't matter really just curious
Right about the bracket not being screwed on. I left one side loose on each bracket to make putting them together easier. As for the buttons, I followed UKSWRATH'S thread. I understand that his measurements could be different since he was building an Anovos kit. I am making my own belt so I think I can adjust button placement on the belt to compensate if I need to. There was a user with a decent MTK build thread on FISD but I think this MTK has some differences. With that in mind my logic was if my kit is different I might as well use the most precise build thread I could find.

With all the info and examples available to me on the FISD I did move forward on a thigh and ab/kidney fit I felt worked best for me.
I made the necessary trimmings and fit the ab/kidney with Mr No Stripes brackets and the ab/kidney split rivets and straps.
