Thats right. That what I want to change.
The problem is if I really change version the upper torso armor is different, right?
I have to think about that....
Perhaps I keep the version but I wear a tactical vest under that and velcro armor on it.
Some pictures of an event last weekend . First time I wear this armor...
Now I know what to change...
I glued all straps with hot glue. And it was really really hot t that day....
Ok, I did it because to change it later if it doesn't fit. But one piece after the other fell down
And I...
Ohhhh and I forgot to post fully painted set:
And I forgot to mention how I did visor. I got cheap transparent plastic sheet, cut them together and put tinted foil for car windows on it.
I never do this again! It was hell! I used hot glue but that didn't hold parts on position. And the...

I used a rough sponge and...
I did right tigh armor with a holster. I will secure the Magnum with a strap and velcro.

But now short break because I'm gonna rock at open air festival next days :D
I'll continue next week.
Hope I can finish this...

Thank you ☺️
I use normal spraypaint. Sometimes it peels off a little but I spray silver before normal paint,. So it looks more battle damaged.
A friend said I have to dry every layer longer. I will try this...
Yesterdays work ...
I finished gauntlets
And one tigh armor. The other one I have to do with holster for the Magnum. I have think about how to do this...
Today I will work an second knee and tigh....
