I am putting the finishing touches on mine as well. My goal is the beginning of August, and I think I'll make it.

Where can you buy sheets of white ABS that may match an FX kit? I was looking to seal up my side gap. I was going to use my ABS belt when I switch to canvas, but one big sheet would be much better. Please let me know.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I just cut the Butt plate, added snaps and filled the holes. I used some fine shavings with acetone and it made a putty like material I was able to stick in the holes. I then glued on a small piece of ABS from the back to keep it in place. The bottom ones are barely visible, and the top ones will be covered by the belt. I also just replaced my velcro on the cod piece with snaps as well. Here are some shots, I made a ton of extra snap holders to hold my side gap plates which I plan to make out of the belt once I replace it with canvas. Do you think 2 horizontal abs belt pieces would be OK? There would be a horizontal seam, but I think it would be better then the white pleather like material I am using. I could use any advice anyone has on attaching the belt and holster as well. I am planning to attach the gun belt from behind with snaps and rivet the snap male part to the belt. Any feedback or direction would be appreciated, these last few steps should be me in range of Elite status once I get my new helmet and E-11. ----------

I have a set of FX armor and I am about to replace my ABS belt with a Canvas one. Unfortunately I had drilled 4 holes in the back plate to secure the belt and canister with 4 bolts. Worked great, but 2 of the holes are below the cut area in the butt plate. What's a good method of sealing the holes so that when I move the belt up they would not be too visible?
