Holster Accuracy Update Install holster kit Verify all kit components are accounted for. Items and item locations are color coded Tools: Drill Exacto knife Drill bits Torx Security Bit Set and Driver Starting with the small screws illustrated in red (small post). Drill 1/16" holes the length of the screws. NOTE: The holes should be the next size smaller then the screw. Test. You'll need the Torx tool to install the screws. Remove screws. Follow up (drill) existing hole by using a 9/32" drill to counter sink (3/16" deep) the holes. This will ensure you can flush mount the screws. Test fit again. Cut off the greeblie bearing indicated in yellow. Once removed, center and drill a 1/16" hole the length of the screw. Test fit screw and bearing Machine screws and holes are illustrated in blue & green. I will not be using my screws to mount the holster greeblie to the thigh step so I'll be cutting the length. Using a 9/32" bit drill the machine screws holes. After the initial drilling counter sink the hole using a 3/8" drill bit. NOTE: you may have to do some additional countersinking using a exacto knife. Test fit. Final view before installing hardware. Install hardware. Final touches... If you're really adventurous take a 1/2" x 3/8" router bit and router (or Dremel and plastic cutter) and cut the holes like so to make your holster functional. I can elaborate on this if needed. Ready to glue the holster to the thigh mount.

Don't you talk about my grandma may she rest in peace

Shin Accuracy Update Measure and mark ankle pill to be cut Cut out large Pill near ankle Using a Dremel or other remove the center section according to movie accuracy. Material will be installed behind the opening at a later date.

Chest Accuracy Update cont... Filing upper & lower return edge and alley floor Sand return edge File valley to return edge... Using some 220 grit sandpaper, fine turn the return edge areas and scuff up valley floor prior to primer. Remove gloss from ABS Scotchbright (grey) or similar. Necessary for primer adhesion. Ready for primer

Yea I'm passing on the rattle can option all together, too many concerns.

LMAO! well I didn't start this build saying to myself "gee I can't wait to do accuracy modifications". I'm not blaming anyone but myself but it's definitely not for those who have any fear of modifying plastic

And let me guess, no one besides Disney has the fabric info?

AHHHH!

Pete I used the standard straight stitch pattern.

Exacto knife

Here ya go Omar http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/24372-fs-helmet-fan-system-echos/

There you go, straight from the maker. I won't dispute that info.

It should be fine, as seen in the image above you can see how the belt material is flexing around a corner on the right hand side similar to yours. If you want, use a couple clamps to temporarily hold it in place, take a pic and post it here.

lol So you're saying the fabric you found is or isn't a match? Just be clear this fool (me) doesn't buy any more crap

Thigh ammo pack. Center the ammo box with front thigh cover strip. The left side ammo belt material should reach the corner return edge as you have shown. The right side material is the same in length as the left. Mount the left side (top corner), then wrap the right side around the thigh and mount the rivet in the same location distance from the last ammo box) as the left despite the location of where it will end up on the thigh. Cover strips - How many ribs on the chest plate is up to the individual, everyone's shoulders are different. A good rule of thumb is 3-5 ribs though there is not standard. I personally run 3 for a cleaner (less cover, more chest) look.

I spent 2 weeks online and at fabric stores looking for that pattern, nothing. The last fabric person I spoke with thought the fabric looked like knitting. Again who knows.

Its actually made from Formica counter edge material I believe. I personally think Gaffers tape (outer side seen through the holes) will be the alternative, I believe Brian is using elastic. At this point it's anyone's guess and opinion. Here's the gaffers tape on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZE3UJ8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 EDIT: I think this may work for the TD also. The cap that sticks out in NOT painted but has what looks like gaffers or hockey tape around it.

1. I have the same problem, I just run the belt tighter. 2. How tall are you Sean? Other - I encourage you to raise your thigh ammo belt to eliminate the gap. Though there are actual screen shots with the belt riding lower like yours is a cleaner look with no gap IMHO.

Very nice!

Thanks Rid

Chest Accuracy Update cont... Filling seem gaps at the upper and lower return edges. When cutting the chest into sections gaps are created at he upper and lower chest return edges. These gaps will need to be filled in. It will need to be flush with the out return edges as well as with the base section of the new created valley Valley floor This area will be prone to high stress so I'll be using plastic welder to connect and build up the area. Next, sanding and filing...

Simply put, a work of art. Excellent job Greg

Nice work Brandon. I know the progress can appear to be endless but your doing great and moving forward. Soon enough you'll be trooping with the rest of us.

Hey Kirk, sorry for the late response brother. Looks like you figured it out. Great job
