Those are too small Mathias. They're only 6mm. I'm going to try to find something between 8-10mm+ before I resort to those. In the nickel vs. brass issue, I understand that both you and I would know that they are brass (and God knows I'm OCD enough to let it bug me), but if I'm going to paint them white you'll never see the color of the rivet anyway. I don't know, you got me thinking too much about this now! What to do....what to do.........

I'm on it!

Hey Now! I'm actually painting the buttons as I type! I'll have those pics posted shortly! And I'll be ordering the nickel split rivets from Trooperbay shortly after I decide if I want to replace the belt anyway. I'm a bit anal like that! I know it just adds to the authenticity to have the frays but I may not be able to live with two extra hole in the belt. I'll try it and if it bugs me I'm upgrading. Thanks Mathias!

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

It was a Citadel acrylic called Mithril Silver for miniatures. I washed it using Citadel Bedab Black wash.

Lol! Well a happy deployment officer is the ideal! How about I'll change the color today for the badge and on my honor will update the brads as soon as I can get some screen accurate 8mm split rivets (or cap rivets, I can think of a few sources now) and I'll need to get a fresh canvas belt to lower those holster rivets which will take a bit of time to order, unless you can think of a solution with the existing belt. Would that be acceptable?

Much appreciated!

Thanks! I can fix that stuff quick if needed!

Oh boy! I didn't know that! If I have to I can easily resubmit. Changing the button color would be a snap and lowering the thigh ammo belt down a bit isn't a problem either. Thanks!

Thanks man! I can't wait to hear!!!!

Awesome thanks!

And it IS a great feeling!!!

Juan, I didn't actually choose it. I went through 10 choices and all were taken so I just told my GML to pick 5 from the list he provided. So basically it was chosen for me by the Emperor!

Oh man it is!!!! Now I'm just sitting on eggshells waiting for the 501st approval here and the updates on the MWG and 501st boards!!

Man! I said the same exact thing! After spending a fortune at Jo-Ann on those expensive Dritz when I saw how much a bag of 100 was I kicked myself in the behind for not getting them instead!

Hey Jesse! I just gave what I could! Good luck with the pup! Thanks for all you do here on FISD, I love my Det kit and recommend it all the time! Hey Steve! I just friended you band too! It's nice to see other musicians on here too!

AARRGH!! I'm ready to post for both EIB and Centurion but didn't realize I needed to get the approval on my 501st access request first! I'm on it though!

I'm on it, I sent him a message on FB but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. As soon as I get those clearer pics I'll post em. I'd really like to know a fair price to offer him as he is my friend and not just some dealer. Thanks guys!

Yeah suspenders would've had to have been sewn and after the Pandatrooper garters and the handplate connectors, I didn't want to keep bothering my sewing friends with more stuff. The armor works fine without them. The two straps in front are enough.

Oh believe me! I'm on that as I type!!!!!

I'm exploding inside here! I think I'm going to suit up and run around my neighborhood telling everyone! Now that would be a sight!

TK 5924 requesting 501st Access, Thanks. YIPPEEE!!! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=14790

OMG, OMG, OMG!! :happy and cheerful birthday: I just received the email from my GML that I've been approved and I am now TK 5924! I am just ecstatic!!!!! All the work paid off!! 10 months later and here I am! This is great! Now, to hopefully get my EIB/Centurian certificates and get my trooper status request in!!!!! Thanks FISD!!!
