Stormy1992

boots will be here Sunday, just need the belt neck seal and under suit I'm good to go:) but thanks! I'm sad the build is almost over though:/

Just put the snaps in! about to add rivets. also put the male snaps in.

Update: i found my rivets finally, local hole in the wall hard ware store! bought snaps, so i will start strapping this beast together for a test fit!

Today i bought snaps, i will do the snap method with the correct rivets. thank you thank you for all the help!!

evan_loh. here is my blaster.

Wow thank you everyone! I finally understand! and yes, my E-11 has a folding stock that doesn't fold/unfold. It is complete doopiedoos kit.

This is what i was talking about.. seems alot cleaner. how do you go about getting these? is this clamshell?

Thank you! No I do understand. I just thougt it had to be put together with the brackets that attach to the lips on the armor. I used snaps last time and they worked well enough for me. I'll just do it again. but Bryan also yes, where the rivets go and how the attach to the inside elastics

Just need to know rivets snaps and placement of them

I have the blaster and a doopydoos kit:)

I have a blaster already yes:) and I plan on putting rivets and snaps in it the ones movie actuate. I dont have a folding stock but its an upgraded hasbro

the bare bones. coming together. time for clear coat and snaps rivets etc..

thanks for the reply and alright ill keep searching, however i have been and have some photo referneces but additional is always best

also i recommend getting a dremal.. if i had to cut all my pieces out with a blade i would go crazy.. i have an attachment to cut, and a circle bit to sand.. and now there is a fly in my house.. any way get a drememl. i got one at walmart for 25 bucks and its wonderful!! make your build ALOT i mean ALOT easier.

I use photobucket! super easy! the arms look good too brother!

oh okay! i thought there was a specific way to strap. just where the rivets and such go? and alright there is a boot thread that im following and the guy scrubbed his down. and used leather die/paint. but ill look into yours! thank you!

my first build is here.. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27158-my-first-armor-build-thread-anh-s-cap-armor/ Im going for EIB status blaitenly because i dont have the $$ for a replica blaster, however with this being my first build i am in need to know what rivets go where, what snaps go where, how to even assemble the strapping, what elastic snaps to what and what the heck is a clam shell? haha noobie help needed thank you and photo references would be great!

Also if someone can supply me with how to strap this armor together with rivets and such that would be great. i dont know the first thing of an accurate strapping system.. i see snaps, rivets, etc and i dont know whats acceptable for EIB.

Also put the front of the shins together today. (waiting for the back part mesurments once the boots come in next week) having some issues with the sniper plate.. cant seem to find a good cut.. i trimmed a little off but im not sure about this in general, so a little help would be great! Shown here are some renforcements i put in the back to prefent snapping if any at all, seriously though this glue.. wont let go. but just in case! right side.. Left side front And for the record. i used 15mm cover strips for arms, 20mm for thigh front and back, and the shin fronts are 22mm, havent made the backs yet. I know i have alot of questions. but i would love an answer thanks guys!!

TEST FIT For the Ammo pack placement before rivets.. i though this was really good considering the ammo pack is slightly to the right of the cover strip, the sides are rounded, dont go bast the back lip and is even with the trim of the armor. thoughts??

The boots I cleared with a couple guys on FISD. the issue with my last pair is they where a rubbery material, so the paint would indeed flake. I ordered black bass Amsterdam's that are approved. I will sand this pair down as needed for paint to stick where as my last pair I did not. I'm sure this pair will be better:) and plus.. Movies they painted them white. Also I'm not using a rattle can, not gloss, but an actual leather dye/paint. I got it this time Bryan! Thanks for the info however!

Thank you Bryan! I'll look it up:)

Also, I kept a little gap in between the sides of the armor under the cover strip because the CRL shows a slight gap. And seems to be common, so did it to both legs front and back.

Thighs Complete aside from ammo pack and clearcoat. I did a test fit for the crotch plate and these, something will need trimming.. should i trim the insides of the thighs, or off the crotch plate?

alright, i looked high and low for these rivets.. Lowes, Home Depot, Mendards, Joanns no luck.. they have brads.. ugh know a place i can get some? also, the rivets for the chest ab kidney plates.. what to get there?
