Congrats man!

What was your technique for installing the snaps on the boot heels?

Drill a hole brother... glueing it on may work but can probably snap off. Just be sure it's positioned exactly where it needs to be. The garter can be resized later if you find it to be too long. But drilling the hole in the wrong place can damage the boot more than it needs.

Did you use a punch to set the snap or a pair of the snap pliers?

Punch set. I just stuck a 2x4 piece of wood in the boot which gave it a hard enough base. Even if you had snap pliers I don't think you'd be able to reach down far enough.

Thanks to Cruzer for this piece of art. I painted it myself. Just need to add some pinstripes and weathering and it should be good to go. Have to glue down the visor inside also and add helmet padding.

I got all my armor from Cruzer. Dude is a beast, I'm sure it's already been said.

Still waiting on my arena pack to show up, and have to deal with some mis-measurements on the girth belt. My forearms are like Popeye's so I gotta fix my gauntlets as well. Other than that the entire WIP is coming along nicely. Hope to see some of y'all at SDCC this week!

Do you have a link to cruiser?

I heard this morning that he has somehow been locked out of the forum......... I'd surely be in touch with him as soon as he's back online.

The way I understand it, he's not able to get on the site.
PM me when you get a chance...
