Hey Everyone,
I received my armor from Spat last week! Spent the last few days putting things together and finally got around to taking pics.
Not only a big thanks to Spat (who, BTW, is everything I had read about; a really cool & friendly guy who was extremely helpful to a newbee like me) but also to Matsuo (for the lamp) & everyone here for your posts. I lurked for awhile and found alot of helpful info that I used to get his far. Much appreciated!!
Still need to get accurate BDU's, but will work on that after me & my wife move this weekend. But these should do in the meantime?
I didn't know at the time it was being made, but Spat added a couple new things to the armor. He moved the loops under the shoulder epaulettes to be more centered, so the shoulders won't have the problem of slipping to the sides anymore and he made the grenade loops out of elastic so they will hold grenades better. These were a cool surprise!
BTW, for everyone out there who's thinking about getting a set of armor but worry/don't know if it will fit you or not, I'm 6'4" & 250 lbs. While I could still adjust it better on my body, it fits fine!
Thanks again & take care!

After gearing up, spotted my first Xenomorph in our place....
Which was quickly captured alive!
Thought I would also post a few pics of my re-painted CS-6 Recon:
