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!!!

Besides just getting full approval with the 501st and a TK number this morning, THAT just made my day!!!!

Wow!!! That was a turbo build! Nice work! I think you may need to adjust the back. The back plate should meet the kidney, you have quite a bit of space there. Great job though!

Nevermind, its there now. I must have a haunted computer or something! Sorry for the bother!

Hmmm...I'm seeing the post on tapatalk but am not on the laptop. This is kinda like the weirdness I was having with the "new content" button not working. (it does now). Thanks again!

HI! I've notice that my recent posts aren't coming up in my content as well like the others that posted here recently. Also, I posted a question about a Sterling that was offered to me yesterday and I had a couple of responses but it disappeared completely this evening. Was it removed because it mentioned possible values? I didn't mean to cross any lines and I didn't see any notifications about it so it got me worried.

I got them from a camping do it yourself supply house: It's called Backwoods Daydreamer. They had the three point strap guides I needed: The rest I got at Jo-Ann Fabric. ----------

I used the nylon snap plate method from Darth Aloha (that's actually a pic of my armor that Dominic used as an example). Femtrooper Julie recommended it as well and although it was really easy to install the snaps and they molded to the curves of the armor perfectly, I will admit that I had one snap pull out from the front on the double shoulder snap plate on the back plate. This happened because I just used the snap tool and the front and back of the snap wasn't tight enough. I was able to squeeze it back in and CA glue it and it is solid as a rock now. I would definitely recommend that you make doubly sure that the snap it fully compressed into itself. Tap it with a hammer and the setting tool after you've used the snap tool just to make sure it's solid, then try to twist it and if it feels loose tap it until it sits tight.

He said they go for around $900 but thats WAY out of my range. I don't think he's going for 20 bucks though! I'll need to do a bit more research I guess!
