So, I took a look at the markings I made on the HDPE to make the armour, and in all honesty, I didn't like it. They looked so small, and I don't want to waste more money, so I bit the bullet and decided "Right, that needs a complete remeasuring before I start carving into it." So that's what I plan on doing. I'm going to make sure that each piece will fit where it needs to, and take my time.

Will I be able to make it to Manchester? Fingers crossed I do... If anything, I'd get the armour on, lights sorted, weapon on and just go in full hdpe, with the legal set ups too such as locking mechanisms and a raised table of sorts to keep it's wheels off the floor.
