    I would be very happy to donate it to that cause. It would be kind of cool to leave a stamp like that on the 405th together.

    Mods: if this is in the wrong forum, please move it or let me know and I’ll repost it. Thanks! I am offering my Rubies Master Chief armor set (without helmet or undersuit) to a beginner without armor for FREE. If interested, please email me at CoachWade13@gmail.com. Good morning and Happy New...

    I'm back

    Hiya, Moe! I actually meant that sewing onto UnderArmour or the vinyl suit that came with the crappy Rubies armor doesn't fill me with glee. UnderArmour is very hard to sew. I used to coach youth and high school football and I wore that stuff under my coaching shirt (basically as a sunblock...

    Let's talk about rare earth magnets

    Both, actually. I think they'd work well for holding the chestplate pieces together with the backplate, but I also think they might be successful for things like holding the forearm bracers in place. I was wondering if anyone had tried that. I'm a little concerned about trying to sew velcro...

    Let's talk about rare earth magnets

    Hey guys. I'm working on the 3D printed suit from Moe's excellent Thingiverse files. I have one complete arm printed, and need to make a few mods to it (Notably, the forearm printed at 85% is perfect in length-- and the mouth is too small to get my hand through, so I have to dremel a cut down...

    New Here, Any Tips on building, programs, etc.

    This is actually an important aspect that I think a lot of people overlook. Even though John-117 is an augmented human and the MJolnir armor is servoassisted, the suit has weight, and it has heft. When he moves, there's the sense of something ponderous in motion. This is something I don't think...

    I'm back

    I've been looking at pics of actual body armor for canine law enforcement and military working dogs. I think the best thing to do is get a standard working dog MOLLE harness and affix the armor to the MOLLE straps. I was considering getting a child's Halloween costume and altering the shirt to...

    New Here, Any Tips on building, programs, etc.

    Evening, AK. I am "new" here as well. I actually started here over a year ago, but with one thing and another haven't had much time for this project until recently. My personal preference is for 3D printing. Many of the files you need and the support for them is online and relatively easy to...

    I'm back

    Well, here I am again. It's been an interesting road. TL;DR: I'm back and am 3D printing HALO armor for myself. Armor for the dog will have to take a bit longer as I'm still trying to figure out how to design it. Please skip to the bold face for where I have some questions I could use some help...

    Purchased armor, needs reinforcement. (Fiberglass?) Also... the dog needs a suit.

    Thread update: Used the spray foam on the gloves today and it worked great! I’ll have a how-to and pics in a day or so. (I want to finish trimming the foam after it finishes curing.)

    Er... what? I already have the energy sword. I’ll be working on my armor first before I install white and blue LEDs to give it some pop. In some of the later RvB Tucker also has a pistol on his hip, and I have a M6 Blaster I’ll be reworking to make it more realistic before I attach it to the...

    There’s a TL;DR at the end. Or skip to the boldfaced bits for where I’m looking for help. I need to make armor for my dog and reinforce and paint armor for myself. *** Yes, you read that right. At Wasabicon 2018 I had the pleasure of meeting Barry Kiker and Kevin, who were there representing...
