Big update! Well, I think it's big anyway. I drilled, tapped and mounted my shell to my motherboard! A bit of chipping when I threaded the bolts through but I can touch it up. Not a big deal. And, just because I can now, I mounted it to the Alice frame and tried it on for the first time!! I can see how the weight adds up. I kept hitting my n filter on things too. That will be something to get used to.
And photos of boring bolts in a shell but I don't care! It was a big step drilling her for the first time. (You be quiet Hoot! lol)
I think the bolt under where the gun mount will be is probably about 1/4" too high but I didn't want to drill too close to the edge. It was also the first hole I drilled.
And the amazing over the shoulder reflection selfie photo in my hallway closet door!
And no, you're not seeing things. I am wearing an orange t shirt and green camo pyjamas.
