Hey all... So I was fiddling with this stuff I got my son for Christmas called sånd (Swedish thingy over the 'a') which is basically real sand mixed with 2% polymer which makes it moldable like wet beach sand, but not messy...and it never dries. Brookstone sells it in two diff sizes at most malls. S...

Awesome work! Keep those bandaids handy lol!

Everything, as in, armor and all strapping?
Certainly you'd order all the armor parts together. As for the strapping, if ur ordering from them I'd do it all at once.
These guys are so busy, you might not hear from them in forever...get 'er done all at once. That's my advice.

Rs looks incredible. I've actually ordered and received a chest piece and shoulder bells only. Be warned that, as stated, these come with all the imperfections and asymmetry of the original suits. I can tell you from first hand experience the shoulder bells are very asymmetrical and are quite narrow...

That'd be my advice

That is awesome

I used "heavy duty" snaps from Joann fabrics

That is freakin' OUTSTANDING!

Oh...and if you need some mesh for your bucket frown, don't buy it. I've got 2 diff types I can send you for the cost of postage...

Congrats on your build! You are gonna have a blast. I built a CAP set of armor a few yrs ago and it was pretty darn rewarding :thumbs: A couple of things I'd suggest you get beyond what's been mentioned so far: For the build process in general, I'd get the following stuff (my personal pref's here). ...

Yikes! The sign in front of the thing is wrong LOL. I should call the museum.
Yes, badass gun.

The real deal...a German MG-42 at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo.
No wonder Sandies are feared.

Got mine online. I like this size...3/8"dia by 1/2" deep. The little bastards will pinch your skin right off if youre not careful
