How long did it take for you to get your kit

[Scorpion]

Just received an email from troopergear and TK armor am 2.0 will be shipped out in about 3 weeks can't wait to receive it

[Cre8tiv]

... and that is when the real fun begins.
Just remember plenty of people on here, who will be willing to give you a hand or advice with your build too... you just have to ask.

[Scorpion]

Thanks Cre8tiv,

Yah I will be asking for as much help as people will give

[Altair]

Looking forward to the build thread mate

[Cyclops]

It was good too meet you at bris bricks , I'm sure you will have plenty of us to help and offer advice when your kit arrives , start reading up on the garrison build threads and preparing the appropriate hardware so when it arrives its straight into action .

[Scorpion]

Cool cyclops, that sounds like great advice will do and yah will be asking for your help with the armor and that other project we were talking about am very interested in doing it.

Cyclops, what sort of things should I buy first, I know clamps and clear plumbers glue any things else and magnets.

[Cyclops]

Personally I would use CA glue ( zap a gap ) with the zip kicker , you will need nylon webbing and good quality snap fasteners , read through Bid's build thread , he did a comprehensive tutorial on setting up the nylon snap plates , I would get on to aussiemagnets.com.au and get some rare earth magnet to use in conjunction with clamps , also colour contrast masking tape in blue or green to use when assembling and as a guide for fit and trimming . Any info I can help with just shoot me a pm .

[Sly]

Agree with Cyclops, CA glue is what I used, it is fast but can also be unforgiving, so just make sure things are lined up where you want them before putting them together. The zip kicker set the CA glue in mere seconds and you can move straight onto the next part.

How was your first official wrangle, I think you did well mate.

Are they leather ? If so you will need the aerosol grease and wax remover before you paint them , they look fine but can't have any visible tread pattern on the soles .
