The leg ammo pack is fitted using split rivets
Both rivets will be painted white along with other armour fixing elements in one session later
Sniper plate fitted to the knee section, and centre element bonded with E6000 first and clamped into place overnight
Side sections lined up to follow the diagonal line of the leg armour, and bonded in to place, keeping the large centre clamp in place during this whole bonding process
That’s it for this stage…
