  1. Yea funny thing happened, a bit off topic. Last night I tried to holster my F-11D with tactical stock to my FO TK thigh mount. Long story short, my dress was dragging lol. BFG are a handheld item

  4. 9b. Chest strap to Shoulder Bell connection (Bell side) In this section I'll be illustrating how to install assemble the male snap used to secure the shoulder bell strap to the Chest strap. Here a reference picture. I'll be using one of the Anovos supplied 1" black elastic strips from the same location but removing the sew in velcro seen here. Remove the nylon and velcro sections Fold over one side, slightly longer than the snap width. Sew in snap Here the flip side with it connected to the chest strap snap to be cont...
  5. ANH Stunt - 501st basic and EIB decals are ok, for Centurion they must be painted. For accuracy they are painted Abdomen armor buttons are integrated and painted directly on the armor. For accuracy there is no return edge as seen here
  6. 8c. Chest strap to shoulder Bell connection In this section I'll be illustrating how to assemble the chest elastic strap connection snaps that secure the shoulder bell connecting straps. Here's a reference picture After a fitment check I starting by cutting two 8" x 2" sections of white elastic. The Snaps I'll be using are Dritz size 10 Locate the elastic center approximately. From one side measure in 3/4" and mark. This will be the center of the female snap. Center the female snap then sew to elastic. Shoulder snap completed to be cont...
  7. 3f. Calf closure Straps and Fasteners (aka bra hooks) In this section I'll be illustrating how to create the rear calf closure strap & hook assemblies instead of using the Anovos supplied velcro. Either one is excepted at all level of approval but the Straps and hooks are the most accurate. Here's a reference picture I'll be using 3/4" white elastic and size 3 bra fasteners. You'll need a sewing machine and or needle and thread. For the adventurous I have a tutorial on how to make the hooks from scratch, though not considered entirely screen accurate. Starting with the elastic cut six 4" sections. Checking the fit before sewing. Fold one end over 1" and sew in place. Now hand sew in the fasteners to the folded side of the elastic. Fasteners After sewing Ready to glue
  8. 4h. Ab Button plates, Painting and Installation In this short section I'll be painting and installing the ab button plates Before painting, cleaned and ready. Don't forget to remove the protective plastic before your get started. The paint. The ab buttons are painted as follows using these same colors or similar. Humbro #5 Admiral Gray gloss and #14 French Blue gloss, both enamel based Gray - http://www.humbrol.com/us-en/shop/paints/enamel-paints/5-dark-admiralty-grey-gloss-14ml-enamel-paint.html French Blue - http://www.humbrol.com/us-en/shop/paints/enamel-paints/14-french-blue-gloss-14ml-enamel-paint.html Using a small paint brush "CAREFULLY" (I say that due to I can't paint for junk lol) paint the buttons as shown. Finished painting. Assemble (glue) to ab. By this time your ab plate should be trimmed and ready to be mounted. Painting can be done before as I've done of afterwards, it makes no difference. Apply glue to the ab center box, raised edge. Using magnets, place them on the corners and anywhere else the plate may be raised up. Ready to assemble Apply glue Apply plate Apply glue Apply plate. The smaller of the two didn't require magnets to secure it due to the surface was very flat. Let dry and finished
  9. There's a couple methods as mentioned above, me, I prefer this bad boy. $120 on amazon and worth every penny.
  10. Brackets: Pros Screen accurate, Cons - The entire torso section is permanently assembled unless you change out the sewn together straps for ones with vecroed ends. Snaps: Pros - Very reliable and easy to disassemble, Cons - If you use cheap snaps you'll have separation issues. Velcro - Pros - Can't think of any except for your on a very tight budget or it's convenient, Cons - Separation issues and clutter. It takes more of a footprint with velcro then bracket or snaps.
  11. For starters I would drop down to 5v fans, there CFM air flow isn't much different than the 12v. Second, using a power bank ex lipstick phone charger use the USB 5v port as your single power source. You'll have to do a little wiring but it's not difficult. BTW a typical 3500mah lipstick charger will power two 5v fans 1-1/2" to 2hrs. The larger the bank to longer the run time
  12. Exactly what I did.
  13. ... or drop boxes
  14. Yes Different shape legs sometimes call for different cuts. Trying to stay true to a good line is the key here. Good thing this isn't an exact science
  15. Hi Mario thank you for your EIB application. Can you do us a huge favor post pics so that they appear here on the thread, something like this. Let us know if you need assistance in this area. Thank you
  16. Hey Jamie thanks for your patience brother. Let's take get started shall we. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Excellent build Jamie One correction we'd like you to make is to remove the portion of cover strip overlapping the lower return edge section of your front left thigh. It should stop at the return edge. Correct this area, post a new pic and the badge is yours trooper.
  17. Pretty awesome idea Jason. After I am finished and you've competed the PDF we'll talk. Wrist side correct, elbow side if you can leave it without any issues then leave it, but it's not mandatory like the wrist. Jury is still out to lunch but it may be more of a suggestion then mandated, still working on the details As Tim said, it's the opposite Don't make any corrections to the tube stripes yet.
  18. I would use Industrial velcro, so if you need to move them around you can.
  19. There should also be mounts the liner clips in to. Where are those?
  20. Jay Parsons, [email protected] MEPD, the best IMHO
  21. The current CRL HWT is from the 1st battlefront game. There is no CRL for the new battlefront game as of yet. A TD is a whole other beast, do not get the two confused. The current HWT wears a pack and you're required to have one for basic, always has been always will be. Hope that clears things up.
  22. Yea there a ton of AM builds out there
