PunkRocketScience Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Save your shavings! They can be mixed with acetone to make paste if needed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Chest...snap! White armor sweetness! Ok that’s it for today; time to start moving into the more “fitted” pieces...any insight from you all would be quite welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jef Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Pro tip: save the bucket for LAST! do all the things where you can hide your mistakes FIRST. Dont open that bucket box until everything else is d.o.n.e. You will get better skills by the time you get to the helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 So...I’ve been busy; I was a first responder at the Marine CH-53 crash site...please remember the four Marines that perished in the crash...and spent the night protecting the integrity of the site for the mishap investigation unit. I’m out of town with my Mentor Kris Haugh (literally I walked out of the desert, took a shower, and hopped into a gov) doing secret squirrel things in Flagstaff AZ. Will get back at it Friday...@jeff...that’s my plan (the ears...the ears!!) but rest assured my armor mentor (Victor S) won’t steer me wrong!

Gaanon Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yes, the ATA (and most kits) are totally not symmetrical. The ATA is also bumpy as all heck, a feature I’m not so fond of. Also notice on the kidney plate that there’s no notch on the ends.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yeah I left a lot of “flesh” on the kidney until I can get with Victor to size it...but thanks for the suggestion...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 My padawan skills aren’t even to the point of looking at that beautiful bucket yet, so....back into the box it goes...However, any guidance on the cut lines for these two pieces would be helpful......thanks for ATA Works for quick shipping!

djrue Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 3 circle button plate will go on the raised vertical spot on the left ab area. It should be cut to match the flat part of that raised area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Question...I was thinking of getting these...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FN5POS/?coliid=I2NKDS8LICR6HD&colid=2Y8BRCJCXEULS&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it...to use to “simulate” the screw set for the internal strapping. As they are nylon screws I was going to file down the heads flush and use CA glue to attach so I would not have to put holes in the return edges.Thoughts?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
