Thanks Scotty *lol* They didnt actually Hurt as such.. only when they happened, and maybe I was wiping a bit of dried blood off my shin guard but I was proud *lol*
*LOL* Doug, you sneaking outside the window for photos, classic XD
Wolf, its okay mate! I know Exactly what modifications I need to make :D there were only 3 issues-
-my shin guards kept twisting because Id only temporarilly stuck down the velcro to hold them (will be fixed with my new TKBoots and an elastic strap).
-my thighs occasionally cut into the backs of my knees when I need to step over something high (aka over 5cms), this is because when I glued in the suspending pieces, I put them with about 1/2-1 inch too much give. Im going to trim them down a bit more, perhaps about an inch and hoist them up that extra inch further simply by moving the snap button on the attach point.
-my chest plate kept riding up.. two issues there, one is that it cuts into my neck.. and occasionally the shoulder strap rides up (curiously doesnt interfere with my helmet). Thing is, if I just pull it all down by giving more space between the chest and back (shoulder strap), it covers my buttons completely. I'm going to need to dig a bit out of the neck area to give me a bit more room to breathe and find a way to hold my chest plate down to my ab area without doing anything too complex. Right now, Im thinking a simple bit of elastic and velcro strapping.
Ahhh the things you learn from trooping!!
like how much fun it is to play statues XD
I particularly had fun with playing statues... went and stood against an advertising board and held as still as I could.. two girls came along all scared of Hop and Doug, but one of them insisted the other get a photo. They were debating it until Cutter and Hop pointed at me saying "If you want a photo, we've got a manikin set up especially for photos just there".
I waited until the poor girl was right next to me and her friend was just about to take the photo, then swung around, pointed my gun and put my hand on her shoulder *LOL* Poor thing leapt about a mile.. I think Cutter managed to snap the moment I first moved XD
