Ditto! EIB is an important step on the way to centurion. And looking at the numbers of EIBs compared to Centurions it is not just a step to take on the way but also the final goal for many members.

To answer your question: Although many troopers use the tan straps, the black ones are screen accurate and accepted as well. ----------

This looks way better now with your biceps lowered. I take my hat off to you for what you could get out of the armor regarding your size! Good luck with approval!

Update on my holster attachment: I found two options and test fitted both of them for you to see. Which would be the better choice? Personally I´d prefer the one on the right, a cap rivet approximately 7-8mm in diameter. A third option (not depicted) would be a blind rivet aka pop rivet. Is it known which type of rivets they used back in ´76?

Yes sir, I´ll post a pic of the modified holster as soon as I can. And: Thank you!

Oh cool, that's good to know! I would like to be approved then, but I will change the holster snaps anyway, promised! Unfortunately I have to work during the next few days, but will try to get some minutes for completing the modification. Once again, thank you very much! :-)

OK, I'll change the rivets like you said and will post a new picture as soon as possible. Are pop rivets the first choice or will cap rivets be the ones to be attached? I saw these beeing used for the holster in other application threads. Just asking, I have both types here, but which would be the preferred ones?

Thanks to you guys for the improvement suggestions and encouragement @ Glen: Hardware shops will be closed when I get home from work tomorrow, but I´ll get some flat head / countersunk screws right after the christmas holidays. @ Phil: The holster is attached via poppers, the idea was to be flexible for events where weapons wouldn´t be allowed - but I can change these if required. Indeed there hasn´t been any need to leave my blaster in the box up to now... I must admit the diameter of these poppers might be to much.The TD panel was produced by Movie-FX like the rest of my armor, what exactly would you like to know about it? More pics?

Stefan Wolff 7645 EIB A4 Thank you in advance and a merry christmas!

And as the former "Governator" of California once said: "Never stay satisfied with a success for too long..." - So I´ll start the next step right now

Woohoo!!! Thank you guys! I couldn´t imagine a better christmas gift

Thank you! Knowing that I´m not the only one who´s waiting shows that my request hasn´t been just overseen and forgotten... I guess locitus´computer is constantly overheating with all those requests and stuff. I should better contain myself and lower my head in humbleness and respect

Still thrilled with suspense... Just found out that patience is not my biggest strength... But I think i doesn´t have to, patience is something for jedi, we´re the shoot-first-ask-later-guys, right?
