To cap off my aluminum armor build series, I wanted to finish with an "extras" video to flesh the costume/display out.
Rather than just slap it on at the end of the series, I think it functions pretty decent a stand-alone video guide.

As with most of my stuff, it runs a bit long (46mins) but I try to give just 2 mins a pop to the optional weapons, gear, knives, and general accessories and where to find them! (Basically a long commercial for Spat and Chef, but I also give shout-outs and show off gear from Corsasri, Moosh, Stapleton, Matsuo, SD Studios, Armourer, Nick-a-tron and Noble as members here who have made great stuff.)

If you enjoy it, please give it a like and subscribe to my page if you want to see more stuff like this.
I do plan on doing pilot and smart-gunner specific vids later, along with documenting all future builds via youtube.

Anyways, this is the video

Awesome! I watched the first half with my kids and they loved it.

Hell yeah, excellent video. Wish I had that years ago. Thanks for the shout out.

Fascinating, especially for a newbie like me. Thanks for making this.

bigbisont - Thanks for creating this video! Great visual addition to the reference threads on this site! What I really enjoy is your personal insight and knowledgeable backstories for all the items, as well as you giving options for those of us with limited budgets. This is definitely going to be one of my reference sources when I plan on making my kit. I'll also keep the "less is more" advice in mind too! Lastly, WOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!! I didn't know how large is your USCM collection! I'm pretty sure there's more!

great video, amazing collection

Great video! Very helpful for all (new) fans.

Thanks everyone. Glad people are actually watching it! Hopefully it helps a few people.

Great video! Just got done watching it. Now watching part 11 of your Helmet build. I like how you sped up the video. And how fast your hammer skills are!

No Marking Flares?

True! Or hack kit

Apone sling pad is another thing I made 2-3 times.

Those are three great suggestions for a follow-up video (although the hack pouch isn't currently available unless you scratch build it).
I think the level of completion in BigbisonT's collection is laudible (and enviable). That he is putting the time in to help folks identify the correct items is awesome.

You know, I actually have the Apone pad, but it didn't occur to me to put it up there. Not sure where it is at the moment but could be 'part 2' material.

And as for any other material...well lets just say the door is officially open for kickbacks, bribes, and 'payola' to any vendors who want to be featured in the next one!
