Hi ALL, Well I am Finished with my Stealth Armor And did a trial dress today, the wife took some pics, our first attempt at shooting black armor, all we have shot is the white stuff so they came out OK, I will shoot some more tomorrow with more light so you can see the details better.I am super happy with it, just a few pieces to sand and grind but all in all pretty sweet build. Only took me a week, I have it down, pretty much. The armor is some stuff I found from a guy in the UK, friend of a friend, But after contacting everyone about pulling some gloss black ABS, with no luck I was desperate to find a set. This came trimmed but needed lots of clean up, it also had a plastic film on it so after you trimmed and sanded you remove the film and it is mirror gloss black. It is a material I haven't seen before its not crisp, or hard it is very flexible, almost like you can't break it, but I'm not going to try. Also some of the pieces did not seem to be very sharp pulls, like the shoulder straps and AB bits, but Just to have a full set of Gloss black Armor, is awesome, Check the pics, and I will put some more up with better light tomorrow!! Also the boots I scored are a Patent Leather Jodpher (spelling?) It is a women's riding boot, I fit in a size 11, I am a mens 9. The boot has all the correct lines for a trooper boot. All my best, AL ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by blastmaster, May 24 2010, 08:57 PM.

That looks very cool. Natural sunlight is your best friend when photographing glossy black armor. Unfortunately it's also the hardest this to plan on for a photo shoot! -iz |

Nice work!! Fitting is good, and I love the neck seal and the MG 34!!! Do you already have your TX designation for this one? If you don't just LMK so I can push a little in the GML forum. |
