Need to adjust the straps between kidney and butt, the canvas belt needs shortening, and I'm going to stick a small piece of foam under the front of the belt (out of sight) to angle it up a little so it butts up against the bottom of the ab buttons, and I need to cut the notch either side of the ab plate, but otherwise I 'think' the torso is complete. I've already replaced one of the chest to ab straps, as the chest in this pic is off to one side a bit. Anyone spot anything else that needs sorting(?) Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

This Contest is now closed. Thank you so very much to those who have submitted truly incredible designs, this is going to be a tough decision indeed. The staff will shortly have an opportunity to cast a vote in a poll to decide the winning design, and we will bring you that outcome in the next 24 hours. Thanks again.

I agree with Paul. I don’t see any reason why someone who is not an approved member couldn’t submit a design for the context. The only thing that would be a bummer if that person did win would be that they couldn’t purchase their coin. However, there would be no reason why that person couldn’t be gifted one for their efforts.

Reference of belt position

Yes, the flat side you'll want to keep correctly sized for your cover strip width. So they should be about half the size of the cover strip on each of the flat edges. On the other side you will be able to do your fine tuning since it will be the back and it does not have the ridge.

Oh man I didn't even think about trying to fill the back of the thighs with an ammo belt on.... Thanks for saving me that nightmare!

The armor looks great !!! I would put the belt a little higher (1 finger more or less) as you say... Very good work Richard.

Thank you! Its funny that you'd be the first to comment because you're the one I bought the helmet sound kit from! Its supposed to arrive today I think so as soon as it comes in I'll be pimping out the helmet so I can sound like a trooper too! I'm super excited.

Hi Aaron, trimming the corners to meet the belt would be ok. and consider the buttons covers to placement.

Improvised tools: For setting thigh ammo rivets Mole grips Cover strip off cut (to stop scratches) Nut (to reach over the lip at the bottom of the thigh) These are 10" mole grips and the jaws were only just deep enough. Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

The Story is Yet Over

Yes that normally takes care of it

This will finally be fixed this year, a remedy has been worked on

I was working on one version, but was reading the requirements again and it's for approved 501st members. I'm not an approved member yet. Bummer. May need @Sly11 to confirm as although it says "approved members" it also says "If you can see this post, you can enter" which obviously you can see
