Thanks for the really helpful links / pics. I've now got the lid assembled with the ears and neck rubber on. I've being doing a bit of back-and-forwarding with my armourer on the UK Garrison forum to get my E11 right (replaced 3d printed scope rail with metal one) so progress has been slow.2 points

Get ready, info overload The rivets you have are fine to use on the holster, hopefully they are not the short post type. If the posts are long enough you could add male snap on the back of the belt and female on the holster, so you can remove between troops (note 4 rivet placement is only for HERO, don't make that mistake ) Different attachments There are variants on holster placement latest info in this thread Bending the belt helps it to stop springing off when knocked, snaps don't like to be on an angle Bending the ABS Belt by gazmosis, Boba_Skywalker3 Great how to by Tony Belt Assembly by ukswrath If you need to make a fabric belt https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/665-howto-a-guide-to-making-a-canvas-belt/ I use regular snaps behind the button covers to fabric belt, and also from fabric belt to armor Don't take note of the center snap on the abdomen, I thought this would stop it slipping but really didn't need it, I was oh so young and dumb . You can add velcro here if you find it drops at the middle. The top of the ABS belt shall sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels. A slight overlap is suggested, but not required. The bottom of the canvas belt should ideally sit above the bottom of the kidney plate and not overlap the kidney/posterior plate connection. Belt button cover reference For Level 3, the corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. For Level 3, Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. For Level 3**, Drop boxes must have full inner drop boxes to close the back. I will highlight a few important details From the CRL: Belt Belt face is made of plastic (TK ammo belt). The soft belt proper is made of canvas, or material with a canvas covering. Size must be 2.75” (70 mm) to 3.25”(83 mm) wide and not wider than the plastic portion of the belt. The color is be white to off-white. The drop boxes dangle from the sides of the front plastic belt (ammo belt) via white straps and are aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There shall be three square buttons, one centered in the middle and one on each end of the plastic ammo belt.. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes must have full inner drop boxes to close the back. Flat covers are not allowed. Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Canvas belt can not contain patches of any sort. Canvas belt must be firm / sturdy in appearance. No creasing or sagging 2 points

Thank you for the feedback on the pre-approval forum. I made adjustments to the back of the lower legs. I cut the raised detail as suggested. The cut revealed the glue and support pieces I had used and they were an off-color. I used ABS paste (with a bit more acetone this time) and covered the edges. I then sanded them smooth with 220, 400, 1500, and 2000 grit sandpaper.1 point

OMG I am indeed overloaded! I will have more questions! Thank you!1 point

Correct a few makers use smaller caps so pipe must be smaller too (WTF, ATA and I think AP), it does make them look a little off with length and gaps, but normally no issues having them approved1 point

Yes, I do hope that they stay in place. The CA glue seems pretty strong. E6000 would have been nice in case I had to adjust them. I think the left and right plates are pretty even, although the left glove itself is "rolled" to the right a bit more. Looks even when they're on, though, so hopefully it's all good.1 point

I started posting these on the FISD Discord server and thought I might share them here on the forum as well. Discord makes sharing images really easy since you don't need to host them, but I can just throw these on imgur about as easy. But I digress. Lesson 1: a phrase most are likely familiar with. L, O, and N are very easy in Aurebesh, since they're so similar to English. L and N are backwards and O is a round triangle. G is laying on it's side. V is a Y in Aurebesh.1 point

Another phrase that should be familiar, as we see it fairly often in Legion. We also see "FISD" in Aurebesh somewhat often. The bottom word is only one letter off. T is upside down in Aurebesh. It's a down arrow basically. I is a 1. S is used often. It's an arrow pointing down to the right. F is upside down and slightly stylized. --------- More tomorrow.1 point
