So its Thurday night, weekend is soon, of which I am always grateful. Armageddon Expo is this weekend.....so its getting down to the wire in terms of time. There is nothing quite like last minute pressure to click that motivation and inspiration into gear and get all the work done.
Nothing major in terms of new items of my armour, just improvements of the current peices
Lighting is bad I apologize, but the thigh pouch I attached a more permanent solution. Ive reached the point with my armour where Im not so protective of it, so im willing to try some new things with it.
I sliced two holes a few mm wide and just long enough to fit the Molle webbing straps through the thigh piece, now it wont fall off as I walk around.
So the split on my chest piece I solved by wrapping some straps around the split, disguising the split itself, adding some structural strength and giving it an additional aesthetic that I quite like.
Similar with the thigh pouch, I cut the same size holes in the bottom of the torso piece to hold my mag pouches onto the chest firmly and will not be falling off anytime soon.
Last few things to tick off
- Paint the parts that have worn the paint off
- Add vents into the helmet where my mouth is to remove fogging of visor
- Figure out how to permanently attach my grenades to the belt
Looking forward to getting some pictures of the finished look and some pictures from the convention.
Will update you guys soon
thanks for sticking with me
