Thanks themaninthesuitcase. There is no visible serial number on the sterling itself, so perhaps that helps in itself. The last few numbers in the M38's serial number are hard to make out, but looks like "...380".

LOL! That's the best!

Thanks for those reference photos! Due to an interview, hand pain, and getting ready for a vacation, I've not spent much more time on this, but I hope to have a few more hours soon to plug away at this.

Thank you for the advice, ShaSha! I agree that getting the strapping done is the next logical step. I did already trim the large tabs from the backs of the straps, so we'll see!

I like to use a pencil, mark in a few places then lay some masking tape as a guide. Not sure if you have painted or stickers, if it's stickers you can lift with a knife an pull off, if painted you could use some mineral turpentine and buff any residue with some polish

For the Tube strips, are there any tricks to getting that lined up properly? It's one of the last things I have to do Also, to take the old ones off, is it just elbow grease?

If you haven't figured it out, Glen Is the G.O.A.T when it comes to anything Storm Trooper

Oh happy days

It's BBB day!!! Just ordered my boots and the chiffon. Once I get it coated in plastic dip I'm going to start drawing where I want the cracks and different sections.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help!

Should do the trick. If you have any issues with the posts not squashing enough and locking (I had a really bad batch once) I came up with a work around

I just got my punch set for my snaps. Punch set https://imgur.com/gallery/GuYC9qm

Welcome to FISD Laura!

Welcome to FISD.

I don't recognise it, but it looks like it's based on a cast of a real sterling so maybe you can use the serial number to help you. I don't think it's a Doopy Doo, but it could be I suppose. If so then the Sterling serial is S 21227, the scope serial is 110332.

Rough guide on strapping and placement, some use double snaps in case one fails. Chest to backplate A couple of threads for you interest Snap upper right corner \ Snaps posterior plate Rivets For Level 3, three domed head bifurcated (split) rivets approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter are present on the left side of the abdomen and kidney and are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and are painted white. Note that the measurements are from the center of the rivet. Rivets on both kidney and ab should line up horizontally. Interior pic showing split (bifurcated) rivets For Level 3, a single split rivet is present on the lower tab of the abdomen armor (cod) This can have a brass or chrome finish, but cannot be painted. For Level 2, The thigh ammo belt is attached with one solid head rivet on each side, painted white, and located in the upper corner fastened to the lower thigh ridge. Rivets shall be cap or split style rivets. No pop rivets are allowed. Rivets should be approximately 5/16ths (8mm) in diameter (exterior).

I think you will find that gap will be reduced once worn

Vest also seen in this cut scene with red pauldron and shoulder pouch Quite a few vests Some miss the riot troopers in that scene Oh and there's the odd black shoulder bell
