Congratulations! I love the weathering on your armor - how did you weather the helmet?

you can also use 1" webbing for snap plates - just poke a hole through for the snap. I used an old saudering iron for doing that. make the webbing about 2" long and just put glue on the ends, not the snap itself.

Mine's back and I see others above me in this thread have theirs as well - good job, Eric!

Thanks for answering my questions - hell, if you can balance the l/r hearing I'll never take my helmet off! Of course if I did that, i'd never be able to use the 'selective hearing' excuse I give my wife when I tell her i didn't hear what she said...

Congratulations, Ingrid!

That is something I'll be changing on my armor - it didn't even occur to me to look for those @ Tandy leather when I was buying snaps. Thanks!

I used the office depot brass paperclips for my cod rivet. the ones on the left side I got from Trooperbay and installed using Locitus' method above. Of course I made the mistake of painting them first, which didn't fare so well when the pliers came out . Keep it up - you're almost there!

I really need the external mics - i'm completely deaf in one ear and if I put a fan in my bucket, well...you'd have to hit me with a Ghaffi stick to get my attention (or walk by in a Slave Leia outfit ). I would be interested to see the external mic/internal speakers used along with the iComm/Aker setup. Would feedback be an issue using all those electronics in such close proximity, or would the use of an amplified voice cancel out any benefit of the mic/speaker setup?

Congratulations Fernando!

Way to go! Awesome job

the fun part of that is the passers-by on the street/sidewalk - comforts some of my neighbors to know that the Empire has secured the area & keeps out Rebel Scum

I bought some track for a screen door and cut it down for the T-tracks. You should be able to find it at a home improvement store (not sure if ya'll have Home Depot/Lowes over the pond ).

Thanks, ya'll!

We have a pretty full schedule of events - i'm sure we'll be trooping together soon!

Thank you, my good & excellent TKs

Thank you sir! I'm working on the bicep adjustment...it's a matter of getting the snap plate between that & the shoulder in *just* the right place, so it is being taken care of. I'll also see what I can do about the TD - I appreciate all of your and everyone elses feedback!

D'oh! I KNEW I was forgetting a submission pic. Here it is:

congratulations!

Here are some updated full armor pictures:

Speaking of 'move along, move along', if the TDs had done their job instead of letting some old man bedazzle them...well, things would have ended differently I really enjoy reminding the Sandys in my Squad of that...

I'm pretty sure that the Dave M decals are the only ones available for the 'hand painted' look. They are what I have on mine for my pending Centurion application.

Again - thanks for the clarification. I got a little carried away once I had the new decals applied & have been anxious to try for Centurion ever since getting my EIB approval . I appreciate you being direct about what is required. I certainly don't want the approval of my submission to start a 'trend' of you getting everyone's EIB pictures all over again that don't reflect all the changes/upgrades in their armor when they go for Centurion.

I'll suit up this afternoon & re-submit - do you just need the front/back/sides/action pictures? It's kind of early to wake up my photographer...

No offence taken - I'll be happy to re-take full armor pictures if that is what is necessary

Here are some additional helmet pictures I took, if that helps:
