FP Armor - Version 3

For me, not really sleeping until I see a price....

Good Lord, I spewed a little coffee out my nose on that one :lol: Thanks for the pick-me-up ;)

Ok so I'll know for sure about noon today. But it looks like the preliminary price at this point with the basics, and all the extra new parts is going to be $250 + S/H in the lower 48. The old price was $235 + S/H. So it's not too bad. That price should be good for quite a while even with inflation. I can pretty much commit to that. Keep in mind that I haven't raised the price since, oh about 2004, even with all of the hikes in plastic costs. I took a little for the team in recent runs. And even then, it only went up $10 bucks from when they were first introduced. Unfortunately this is because the thickness of the plastic that is used for strength and quality. .060 gauge is what is normally used by makers that do this sort of thing, because it's CHEAP. I refuse to use .060 gauge for ANYTHING. Even though it's probably more accurate to what was used for the movie suit :lol:

The V.3 armor is pulled in .090 gauge, and the backplates are 1/8th thick (thicker than the .090) for additional strength. These two thicknesses KILL on the market.

So hang tight until noonish PST today for the confirmation. At that time I will start with the normal 10 slots. I know of a few that are poised over the pay-pal button, so it might fill up fast. If there is more than 10, we'll work it out. I'll probably have to order more plastic, but it's very doable in the same timeframe.

Thanks everyone !

K guys, I'm making a list .... and uh, errr, checking in twice? :lol:

FP,

I just unexpectedly moved this weekend...(n)

so FPH $ will be sent asap.

awesome armor :cheers glad i waited!!
 
I'm going on the assumption that the price is for the full set. So my question is will you be offering individual parts after these runs?
 
This may have been posted else where, but possibly I could just purchase one item? I would like a just backplate.... ???

Also, what type of camera you using?

BTW - Awesome job!!!

could i get just a set of knees?

Yep, +1

And... Can you sell for me the butt piece only with the knees? Please I lost it in a moving. The V.2 Cod goes OK with the V.3 Butt?

Thank you very much.
