Progress, during a prop party this past weekend, Bob"thanks bro" helped me put my TX together, still needs a little work but I should have it ready by ADCON, here's the helmet, you can't really tell I have mirror lenses, looks better in person. Hey SandyDay The lenses dark enough lol

Ok folks here's the first fitting, I tried on the armor to see what needs to be done, some trimming on the thigh armor was done, and the chest armor needs work to so my helmet will fit better, i'll post improvments as it progresses, oh you will notice some smudges and finger print like places on the armor where it's being worked on, when fininshed i'll give it a good shine job.![]() |

Shimming is adding plates to fill in the gaps of the armor, sometimes for a better look, but mostly for a much better fit. I think you've got a great set of armor there and you wear it well. Kudos. Kev |
