Also the done with the calves, the sniper plate was a pain in the butt but with a bit of ironing I manage to make it look half ok

Moving forward, the Thermal detonator is done , I couldn't find the black screws so a bit of sanding down and paint would do A bit of threadlocker to secure the screws in place

Working on a few things this weekend bending the knee ammo belt and holding it in place, what do you guys and gals think? is that ok, it's a bit off to the inner side.Rivets thanks to Seantrooper

Thanks once again Tim, great reference!!!

Hello I'm working on my thermal detonator too, I think I got the detonator clips almost ready, I was just wondering how is the bend at the end of the clip? inwards or outwards, I've seen many ways of bending the clips, I think is like in the green line, but I could be mistaken

I'm glad it's helpful, thanks to this amazing community!

Thanks man, that helps a lot!!!

Hello Troopers, a quick question, the knee ammo belt on my AP is slightly longer in one side, so I was wondering what side the longish side will face, I imagine the outside face of the leg, since apparently the ammo packs are supposed to be a bit off to the inner side of the leg, so from the center on the knee two rectangles will be on the outside and 3 on the inner side, well the one in the middle a bit off center to the inner side?

Legs coming alonginner strip

Good eye!, it actually pinches a bit when bending the arm

I got the arms finished, I think they came out ok

Thanks for the help guys

Heya guys and gals , I'm trying to work on the tights a bit, how do this look? , do they align from the top or the bottom?

Regarding the arms, there is a bit of room , but when I flex the arms it gets snug

Heya Glen , yeah I saw the thread, I'm still trying to found some of those screws , now in black

Finally got around to glue the arms with a strip inside, now the outside one, does this look ok for you guys and gals? it's a 15mm strip

Now working on the forearms and biceps

Also got the amazing belt from TKittell Also working on the arms, they look great but they there's a bit of misalignment on the edge, so some heat to the rescue

Got around to work in the armor a little more, got the covering strips cut , 15mm, 20mm and 25'mm

Hey Glen, thanks for the help!!!greatly appreciated!! I thought since I have the screws with a rounded head maybe I can sand those and make them flat !! ha! so I gave it a try and took one, wrapped it on a piece of cloth to avoid ruin the thread and press them on the vice, then I just sanded it down with the dremel , then some sand paper for the finesse and voila! flat head, the only thing is that I have to be careful not to get in contact with water since the antioxidant coat is gone and the zinc will rust eventually, but hey what the hell . I still between the screws and the rivets , what do you guys think?

That was fast, thanks man!!, It seems that they use all kind of screws,hmmm , I wonder if there's a specific requirement for EiB? I might just go with rivets

Ahhh , like the ones that go on the helmet ears?

Coming alongI was advised to drill the holes after bending the strips to allow the clip to bend evenly, also I have rivets and these little screws, the rivets seems more sturdy option but I read somewhere that they were actual screws and bolts in the movie

I got the chance to work a bit more this evening, thermal detonator...go!!!! I think the originals were around 7 1/2 inches long, so the caps will add a bit more length Got a nice pair of clips from Paul troopermaster! they are really good, highly recommended!

Thanks Craig, this is great help!!! I'll make sure to align top to bottom and follow the diagram for the Velcro closure! I think I have the shins paired ok ! Ah one more thing, It seems that before butt joining one has to cut a bit of the edges of every piece, some people say that one should leave 7 mm on each side to cover with a 15 mm strip for the arms , and leave 10mm in each side to cover with a 20mm strip for the thighs and shins and leaving 25mm for the back of the thighs, are those the right numbers, because I've seen people that leave 10mm and even 12 mm in each side of the pieces for the arms and even more for the legs?
