Like AC says, I haven't dealt with him personally, but know that with Laws the parts look great, but you wait forever to get them. Not for the weak hearted.
If you're going to use the original strapping, which by no means is a bad strapping. Quite the contrary. Use armour that can support it. Too thick or rigid armour will have a higher likeliness of cracking around the screws.
There's plenty of threads discussing the pros and cons of the original strapping vs modern snap-strapping. Search around for a while and I'm sure you can find it. It is however not a very old question people have been asking. The original strapping system was until recently only known by a few people and treated as a secret.
It gets deleted because Mike refuses to disclose where his moulds comes from. We on staff take it very seriously to make sure that armour sold here are legit and high quality.
If we were to allow anything seen on screen then we should not allow anything not seen on screen. That would turn 501st upside down. You don't want that.
Besides, you can make a holster good enough for approval for very little cash if you're handy, then only wear it for approval pictures and strike a deal with you garrison whether you can troop with it on or not.
Heh, my TM helmet has an opening of 7.5" x 10"
So I strongly believe that anyone can fit any helmet. It just comes down to trimming and assembly (and not putting tons of junk inside it).
Looking good!
I don't really understand you put the holster rivets (screws) in the top of the belt. They should sit near the bottom. And shorten those drop box straps. Otherwise I have no comments.
Approved!
If I recall correctly you're not a very "large" guy, so I imagine you'd fit better in an ATA kit, which comes with a helmet at a similar price as what you'd pay for AM+AP if not less, but get the benefit of an armour made for normal sized people.
