Good afternoon 501st.
Well for the last two days its been as though I have been cramming for an exam!
The 501st forums and associated tutorials are fantastic.
However I would request some info online if i may. If I havent looked in the right place as yet could you please direct me to the link.
Can anyone offer advice ref the following please;
1. Neck seals - where to aquire here in Aus?
2. Best type of undershirt (I have been informed that it can get pretty warm in the armour - so what is best for 'keeping one's cool) Cyclops gave me some good advise ref 2 piece sports compression underware - but I don't know if this is 'breathable'. Is there a better alternative that gives greater comfort - any suggestions?
3. Can anyone provide specs for the holster (or suggest a link). I have done leather work before, so I dont see this as any drama - just need contruction template and measurements etc.
4. Same same with canvas belt.
5. Gloves? Dont really care to wear rubber ones - so is there a good brand / supplier of leather gloves that is acceptable.
6. Where can I get tube stripe decals?
7. Where can I get the correct wire mesh to replace in the eFX if I choose this path for a buckey?
I have made enquiries to a few armor makers and at this stage I'm leaning toward ATA. Can probably get bucket reasonably soon (don't know if I feel confident enough to have a crack at assembling that as yet) or I may get the eFX and do the conversion - however the armor has a six month waiting period. Thats fine but has anyone had any issues with ATA or reccommend them?
I found the forum on alternative TK Boots great. I have tracked down a pair of black boots at Horseland in Ipswich. Unfortunately their 'specials' have finished, however $89.00 for a pair of acceptable boots is great. Maybe another $25.00 to spray them and finish them off and I can tick that one off the list.
Theres a lot on the list to be ticked off!
OK thats it for me now. Once again any info will be gratefully appreciated.
Regards to all
