Thank you Jay!

im going to necro this topic because its relevant to me now. I had a supplier here who provided our own in house latex shoulderstaps. He flew the coop and left the club and is non responsive to requests to provide more. Is there a vendor that is making a rubber/ latex/ flexible TPU shoulderstrap?

Also, there is a case to be made for 181st Pilots who do not wear traditional armor, they have a grey flak vest and a chestbox over that. In your research you may find it may be more suitable for you? It would be something to consider.

Armor is a choice, and you can be approved as a Reserve Pilot without the armor, as long as the flightsuit fits. We have several Black Widows who are shorter in stature, and troop just as much as other Pilots. We have an approved Scout in my Garrison that is under five feet, and she has Pilot gear a...

i havent seen any but i would like to see a set.

check with your GML first. I have it on mine for comfort, but some GMLs will say no. I use body edge stuff on a big roll I found at the parts store. I give it extra glue (BARGE or E6000 cement) to help it stay on.

it appears to me that unique molds were used for both.

look at the inside of the armor. you can generally tell where the armor part stops, and the bukl of the waste material starts. it will generally get lumpy and poorly defined at that point. i mark this line with a silver sharpie, and using either my dremely with a cutting disk, or heavy shears, i sta...

well, it kind of depends on exactly what you want to do. I have always practiced Scribe and Snap, and there are hundreds of model buildign tutorials and videos posted to the web in forums all over. its a simple process of making two very light cuts exactly where you want the break line to be, and ma...

you certainly can if you want to. i have mine floating on top of velcro and heavy webbing attaching the front and back. After 7 years one of my straps finally cracked but thats after 7 years and 70+ troops

i just checked my photos and my strap doesnt show up. But its SUPER simple, 1 inch wide elastic, with velcro sewed to the ends, and Velcro fixed inside the front and inside the back of the armor plates.

to properly answer your question we need to know which helmet you have. Rubies helmets and those cast from it have very small hose holes since they were never intended to be worn , only displayed. the fan made helmets tend to have holes big enough to accommodate the standard 1.25" hose we use, which...

Welcome Trooper! The JRS works differetnly than many of the other Dets, and we have a bureid vendor list. Armor wait for TI armor is much longer than for the crank em out TB and TK armor guys. Head over to the Request a Mentor Topic and we can get you set up with one of our Mentors go guide you. The...

i have always used rubber car door trim from walart, but the REAL stuff is U channel. I think the MSC catalog online lists it.

looks like the linkback is working now. Maybe there was a glitch. All is good!
