AWESOME! Thanks Terrell!

Here's another set of pics, taken outside, which should hopefully get me there. Let me know if you need any other pics taken.

Yeah, Rob? Some really awesome trooper made that for me. His skills in belt-making are overwhelming. Now....if I could just remember his name.... Thanks Rob!!

That mean I need to raise up the belt a bit as to see the separate ab and butt plates? Will do. I'll edit post tomorrow! Thanks guys!

Great work, Terry! You have helped me also during my build. Much appreciated Trooper!

Here is my app for EIB. Other than my knee plate sliding under my thigh, I think I'm ready. Let me know if I need to retake that pic. RT-MOD armor and Helmet. Holster from Anrev Belt from TKittle Boots from TK Boots E-11 from Lewis aka slavefive Non-latex hand plates from Karin Green Welders Shield Testors Paint used on Ab buttons. Blue Angel Blue and 1138 grey

The way the amp and receiver fit in the armor is VERY secure. I flipped it upside-down and shook the crapola out of it and it stayed put. I used E6000 for the glue. Very sturdy. Now...I just need my ROM/FX to show up and I'll be set! Take your time, John...ok not really...but ya..take your time! heh

Jason, I got both fans seen here... -------- I have the micro one mounted to the right of my lens blowing across. And the other one in the lower left just left of the left hovi. Here's a pic. ---------- I used a little foam on the micro lens fan to give it room to draw in air. Works great. Hope that helps!

Thanks. I'm sure it's been done before but... I might as well show the rest...----------

Thanks Lou! Yes, that's basically what I did. Only I used some foam as a shelf for the items to sit on. I'll take some pics tonight of what I did to give you an idea. Here's a couple pics...---------- Looks like it's going to work fine. I added a little bit of foam to the amp to eliminate any chance of sound vibration when speaking.

Great Stuff. I'm going to try using a strip of sticky-back sound insulation (got from work), and some elastic. Aker amp owners know that it has a belt clip, I used the foam for the "base" so the items won't fall out. Then glued a piece of 1 1/2" elastic fitted to size. I'm waiting for the E-6000 to set before I try inserting the receiver and amp. If it works, I'll post a HOWTO. Thanks for the ideas, Troopers!

Lots of it! Preferably 10's and 20's.

I'm looking for ideas on how to mount the Aker amp and wireless receiver into my chest plate. Post pics if you have any.

Ahhh YET is the key word. I'm waiting on some ab buttons from VaderDave and then I'll be applying. I need to take all the needed pics again with the little mods I've done the past couple days. Soon to be the first WG EIB Trooper!

I love this site! How's it going Vic? Have you heard? I'm TK5569 now! Everyone here is great. Very helpful and a riot!

Would help if I could READ! Sorry fellas!

I'm trying to upload a pic for my avatar but when I browse for it and select it, I don't see an upload button. I click "save changes" and nothing happens. Just tells me what the size reqs are. The pic is 5 MB and 87 X 130 pixels.

Not sure if we have to be off of probation or not, but I was looking at the EIB troopers and went to look for EIBs in the Wisconsin Garrison but it hasn't been added to the list. I see there is only one in the Midwest Garrison. Once I get some new pics taken, I could be the first EIB in WI!

Thanks guys! I just found out via Facebook that I have been approved by my GML and my app has been sent to the big wigs of the 501st for final approval. I should have my Legion ID soon!! I can't wait!

BUMP.... What do you think of the pics in the last post?

I had my wife paint mine! I was too shakey. She did a fine job!

I should be finishing up my RT-MOD this weekend. I will be applying for EIB once I get issued my TK number/Legion ID#. A few updated pics of me wearing it in my build thread. Here's the link http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=10006&st=60

Here's a few shots from last night. My cousin is home from Iraq and wanted to take a few pics to take back with her. She's a Chinook Crew Chief for the US Army. I gave her an Imperial Cog decal which she says she's gonna put it on the nose of one of her choppers.

Things I know I need: * Find another way to keep my thighs up. I have an elastic garter...I think I'll make a new one that is NOT elastic. They both slip down as you will see in the pics. DONE * Add drop boxes to belt...easy one. DONE * Add holster to left side using 2 rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws...more than likely rivets. DONE * Helmet needs the bottom screw on both ears for ANH....the RT lid comes with 2 screws and a rivet under the seal. I will have to drill a hole in the lower part of each ear and use one of those screws for a light switch cover and paint white if needed. * Helmet needs the frown painted. RT lid comes with all decals. I also want to paint the chin, but may get some help with that... * Trim the thighs on the top for a smoothe look. * I MAY end up using a double snap system. Most of my parts are single snapped...meaning one snap per end of strapping...so 4 snap straps hold the cod and ab together 2 front 2 back...but you knew what I meant...lol * Left thigh bottom needs a little trim. * Sew the gloves so NO skin shows. * Sharpe the logos on the diveskin undersuit. * Add padding to forearms and shins so they dont moved around. DONE * Paint rivets on ab white * Paint ab buttons....DONE I hear there's an armor party Saturday. I'll try getting the rest squared away and take some pics.

Well said TK4510! I mean come on people, if you don't want to wait, make them yourself! Family and work always comes first. If you don't have a job or a family...then you should have other priorities then buying decals anyways.
