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?

Thank you all, now I´m jittery awaiting the DO´s judgement... BTW: The CRLs on the 501st site still have the "old" content regarding Level two and three requirements. Does anybody know when they will be updated with the new requirements?

Reuploaded the images in correct size. i´m off to bed now...

Yes sir , i´m currently fighting with imageshack. Think I´ll redo it with photobucket...

Had a good attaché, supported me with split rivets and stuff... Thank you again for encouraging me to go this way!

Thanks! Good luck for your approval too!

Ahh, thanks! That's exactly what I was searching for. I have to admit that I really didn't think of checking the reference galleries, sorry for that!

I have another question concerning this topic: What type of snap do i use? It´s male, okay... But i saw different types on other troopers (flat type "Sports and Camping Snap" ones, nipple type poppers and grooved ones in different diameters), so i wanted to ask if anybody has a picture showing the ones they used on the originals?
