Belts came today, I’m going to start on them.

Is it possible to get the new 1000 EIB patch? I wasn’t approved at the time of the order.

Update, belts should be here soon and I’m getting my cast off next week so as soon as I can I’ll be working on finishing this

Thank you both, I’ll be bothering you soon enough so enjoy the little break lol hahaha!

I talked with Mark and he asked me what size belt I needed, and what material I wanted. I gave the size and I ordered both materials just incase. I’m waiting on him to sew on the Velcro and then he’ll send them out. So I’m just waiting. My surgery went well and so far I’m doing pretty good I’ll try to work on the belt when I get it, but until I get this cast off my arm I won’t be able to suit up. So I’m still looking at a few weeks yet before I can really do anything to move forward. I’ve repainted the strips and fixed all the requirements and just waiting on the belt. I also worked on the suggestions and fixed/adjusted everything I could the best I could.

I tried to message him but it says he cannot receive messages.

They had the right size or did you modify it?

I’m looking for the 2 1/4” or 2 1/2” wide nylon or cordura belt. I can’t find that size anywhere. Do you know where I can get that? The only one I can find is a 2” or 3”

The biceps are super glued together and are bonded, I cannot take them apart.

Ohhhh man!!! Holy cow, I never even realized my arm was outside!! I already redid my left shin.

Ok, I’ll start working on the adjustments. Thank you very much. And thank you for the EIB approval!!! On the brow trim I have it glued as high as it will go, will this be an issue? The drop boxes do move when I wear the belt on the bench they’re aligned as closely to the very end and line up perfectly until I put the belt on and then they are pushed outward and over. I will glue them over like suggested but I think they’ll still move. On the arm it is a strapping issue like you suggested, I’ll take care of that.

Well you guys have really helped me to reach that goal so I want to put it all in to show my appreciation.

I had to put a thin spacer in because of the U channel it was too narrow, if I had trimmed the shoulder straps it would have exposed open ends on the sides of the straps.

I would like to ask that you look everything over closely as you’re looking at my armor, save yourself some time and check off all the requirements I need for centurion. I might as well fix everything now cause as soon as you approve me for EIB I’m going to be requesting Centurion level. I’ll follow all the guidelines and requirements of course but like I say as soon as you approve me for EIB I’m going to retake my submission photos for Centurion. I’m just trying to save us both time as I’m sure you’re all busy this time of year also. I’m only asking I don’t mean to sound pushy I’m only thinking why waist your time twice.

Thank you for all your help Q, the seeds you planted are barring fruit:

One down, one to go:

Then I trimmed the end and sanded some shape to it:

With the little ABS piece I made underneath I pushed the hot ABS over it to form another ridge so my shoulder straps weren’t too short:
