Congrats on the 501st approval, and I recognize that Big Bird set anywhere! I’m also in Rochester!

Oh so very clean! Nice work, Irongladiator

Getting all the bells and whistles! The detail is what makes this thing memorable to people - I love it Irongladiator

crash22 looks great, one comment based on your recent try-on is the alignment of the shoulder armor. I think it needs to slide UP a bit - there shouldn’t be that much of the ribbed sleeve showing. Mythosaur I used a coffee and tea conglomerate and let the hose sit for quite some time (to the...

Totally Awesome Irongladiator - I have been away for a bit, but it looks like your suit came together (you should be proud of the research and the effort you've put into it). Also, being able to bond with your daughter while doing it...? I LOVE IT! I also am slightly jealous that you met...

So sorry to hear this news, Carole. You’ve got the family support, and the support of this community as well. Stay positive through your chemo and through the process! As incredible as this community is, so is the community of breast cancer survivors (my mother being one of them) use them as a...

If spruce green was supposed to represent the lighter green damaged areas on the chest and abdomen; I used model masters SAC Bomber Green (in a rattlecan) from Amazon I believe...

Hey Alberto Kenobi - besides packs coming in different materials/ weights. You should also be aware that packs come in different sizes. All relatively close to each other, but depending on your own physical build; one pack may look better than another!

Paint looks like it held up to the dent being pushed in - well done!

Great to see you putting this thing to use so quickly Lazerjock . Any issues trooping outdoors for you? I know you said you were in Florida; so I’m assuming you have fans in the lid. What about the soft and hard parts - you’ve sprayed them with a fixative to ensure the elements don’t effect...

Like SUTT4869 I too added the dent. Actually my dent was in the wrong spot. So I pushed one out to make it as smooth as I could get it, then added the dent where it is supposed to be. I heated the back of the armor slowly with a grill lighter (I would definitely use a heat gun or blow dryer...

Excellent start jedisushi - very organized approach to the madness (which will prove beneficial as you work your way through it). An official welcome - I will be following!

Thanks for the insight, tennantlim . I did a quick trial and folded the sleeves under and it looked right! The width in the shoulders is a tough one cause I do have wide/ broad shoulders. I think I need to get this harness squared away, and have some openings made in the vest to see how it...

I do not have BM Armor, mine is Fettpride. I would say that while you certainly pay the premium for a one stop shop from BM; you get the luxury of knowing that you’re done when you get it. Maybe some fine tuning or replacing items that you WANT to replace, but certainly don’t have to. The...
