  1. I might be biased but I love them, I have three variations of the weights as I use a set for running as well (people run in their spare time?!) for me I like the fact they fill the plate bag properly and also means that the plate carrier doesnt bounce around like I see others do when they start running. It makes you think about anything extra you think you need but don't really and it makes you actually set your plate carrier up properly in the way it sits on your body... nothing worse than a saggy plate carrier. Another purchase late last night, having it changed up to a 10.5" outer barrel and will be building to replicate a couple of my favorite films (although substituting an aimpoint for the vortex strikefire) I don't know if Marui ever made a fixed upper or even if its possible but I'm fine with a detachable carry handle as it can always morph into something further down the line.
  2. I think they also did some of the reversible gortex stuff but you are right that the price is quite steep considering the price I've got some of their stuff for. I'll leave it to the better versed to discuss over this one.
  3. I might be wrong and @TheFull9 may be better to answer this but I thought that Propper was a pretty legit brand of high end gear or at least very hard to get now, might be wrong but that's the assumption I was under.
  4. added the micro magnifier tail end of last week and over the weekend, then (and I know they are a bone of contention for some) but myself and travail fitness group trialed a new coverage system. I know people don't see the plates (other than if you used a plate frame) but damn they are sexy!
  5. I've just asked a mate to give me a price so doubt he'll be charging me anywhere near that, only mentioned it in passing and said he had a printer so jobs a goodun
  6. Actually I've done a lot of looking into reviews and reading up on the juggernaugt system and the kagworks mount just don't want to pay for something and pay a huge import charge for what I could have 3d printed. The camera can be covered by a plate of pecan (not that I'd be using the camera function), not sure what phone you use these days but all smart phones are adjustable to be able to be read with sun beaming down on them. The case I'd mount to it is 100% waterproof so it's not the case that would come with the mount or be printed. The phone I'm doing this for is an old phone as I started before do couldn't care less if it's damaged and I have a few others spare of the same make and model (I had a thing for that phone for a while) which also won't take up much real estate on the PC. Not sure how this has turned into such a hot topic.
  7. Not for me, maps, taskings, important area photos etc if you had a chest mounted camera surly all you'd see if arms meeting in the middle holding a gun? For the above reasons and also personally there are times when I HAVE to have Comms on the field with me be it marshalling or playing. Don't need to defend the reasons but if I have to have it why not have it in a decent protected area and in such a way it's always accessible
  8. I'm the type of guy to usually only mutter a few words and that'll be when signing in unless I know people at the site I'm playing. If I don't know anyone I don't make a habit of conversing unless spoke to first, just my nature. Did you just admit to liking Sheryl Crow?
  9. While I'm happy to pay for decent work I assume the steel and Titanium would cost an absolute bomb for something so simple! Think if I don't go down the route of the FMA clone of the kagworks one or the juggernaught I'll just go with normal 3d printed materials
  10. Hahaha! I don't do things by halves! I was lucky with some shares I sold so decided to treat myself, the rest has gone into savings
  11. Well fuck me sideways, you learn something new every day! I thought the newest thing was resin!
  12. £900 give or take, found the UH-1 cheaper on one site by about £100. The strike fire is for a second project gun and the SS stuff is an upgrade from the slickster but for a heavier (but not by much) load out. I'm a man of simple pleasures but SS are coming out with a few additions for it later in the year once they've completed their DOD contract so it's the base for what I hope it'll be by end of the year/start of next
  13. Not when you know a fabricator but if I wanted it in steel then I would do so, the question was about the hardest material available via 3d printing 😉 Cheers mate, the phone I'd be using is old hence I'm not fussed about using it for Airsoft ☺️
  14. Anyone have an idea how much this would be have printed, Ideally the strongest material possible? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3244671

      @Druid799 I've fallen in love about 50 times a day in three days. Luckily didn't carry much cash!!

  17. Its the initial layout and finding a decent defender! I can get a pretty decent built T5 for the price people want for a defender! Im happy with just doing what im doing at the moment, the camper is a dream which wont be a quick decision. you have the land rover now right?
  18. If you do end up buying let me know as I found it works out cheaper buying from a 3rd party.
  19. Yeah I shopped about for a while and self build is by far the best way to considering some of the prefab ones I've seen dont start any lower than £45k!! Yep tried it in the garden with the full tarp set up the other evening and by far the most comfortable sleep Ive had, will be going out in thetford at some point and the lake district for a proper outing soon but so far so good! I went for the complete set up including under blanket as I wanted as much comfort and heat retention as possible (knowing what english weather is like) I've taken a lot of hints and tips from varying youtube videos to get what I think now works as a perfect set up (for me) this is by far the best channel Ive found for useful information https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbTDXDBHApa_cvcOx86yJOA
  20. Funny you say that I have been looking at getting a VW T5 or similar to convert myself, Brother works for a company that does van instillation so if i did get stuck not like id have an issue sorting it and could be so much cheaper doing it myself.
  21. Not airsoft related really but could be used for milsims I guess if the AO is anything like the trees etc. but I just got myself a full DD hammocks set up so I can concentrate on my other hobby which is bushcraft and wild camping. *not my picture but you get the idea
