I have Tony's mic system as well. I haven't found free time to work on it yet. But I need to ask.. what's the black box on the bottom right of your work bench?

Awesome!

Omar did extremely well on his first troop (seven hours including three hours of fan table duty). Few things to work on before EIB: 1. Shorten down the back thighs and butt plate. DONE 2. Eliminate the flapping butt plate. DONE 3. Blaster must be EIB and Centurion ready = no power cylinders and need M38 or m19 scope. SHOPPING STATUS. 4. Remove armor pinches at biceps and forarms. DONE 5. Rework mic setup to stop feedback. DONE 6. Rework lower legs - hitting thighs. DONE 7. Repair helmet - Dome came apart. DONE.

Omar (Bingo) completed his first troop last Saturday (11/14/2015) Heroes & Villains Fan Fest at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California. Me and Omar.

APPROVED ON BATTLEFRONT DAY!!! Tuesday, November 17th, 2015. Please join me as we welcome Bingo...aka Omar TK-56072 to the 501st Legion! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=19993&costumeID=126

Thank you Jamie!

Looks like the Picasa shields are down! Commence posting our updates! Upgrades We received the following from Amazon. Bingo is going to use Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement Ultra Inner Duty Belt. This will hold up his thighs and strapping system. You can easily make adjustments while trooping. This is all velcro and heavy duty. Microphone: Pyle PMEM1 attached to an Aker amplifier box (not shown.... i'm giving him my old one).

Thank you Tony!

I wish someone took closer pics so we can study the costumes!

Thanks guys! Hoping for Bingo's approval. He did we great job on his build.

Crossing the Finish Line At this point, we have crossed the finished line. Thank you to my wife and Bingo's wife for their continuous help and support on this project. Thank you fellow garrison members Jay and Kris for taking the time to drop in and help. Since this was a team build under complete secrecy from Bingo's family and friends, we are with holding his application photos until our GML approves his membership. For now . . . here's one image from our photo session. Wish us luck!

Strapping System for the Legs

Finished look of inside strappings.

Be sure the melt the ends of your webbings.

We are using the velcro strapping system so we can easier make adjustments. This is a lot easier than the snap button method.

Strapping System for Arms All webbings and elastic bands with velcro were created in house by my wife and I. Everything was purchased at Joann's Fabrics or various fabric stores through the years. This is our snaps from Orchard Supply Hardware (California). Our tools from Tandy Leather (Amazon) My new anvil from Harbor Freight We measure the distance from his chest and back plate (making the white elastic bridge between the two plates). Then adding a male snap to the center for the shoulder bell attachment.

Thank you Jamie!

Let's sew the hand plates now. Done! Test fit and discovered that one area was too tight (must have sewn too close to the wrist) No worries. We removed the stitch with an exacto knife and re-sewn the area using a painter's stick. Yes, this time Bingo is wearing the glove as I stitched it. Finally done! Enjoy!

Next, we are going to sew velcro onto the glove. This will be the secondary holder in case the stitches ever break during a troop. Glue velcro the hand plates. Test fit is done.
