Oh, and the visor is being kept in by a combination of tension, and e6000.

Thank you for the review. The thigh pack has already been addressed in my build thread, http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/31919-Skypigs-ANH-Stunt-%28AM-v2%2E0%29/page__view__findpost__p__411241, but I didn't update the pictures here. Let's remedy that.
I removed the pack, filled the hole with ABS paste, sanded it smooth, trimmed and reattached it the proper way.
Let me know if you need additional pictures. Thank you.

A little light sanding today, followed by a shot of spray "Crystal Clear" enamel, and the results aren't too bad.
Used some new split rivets. Used a flat head screw driver to slightly spread them, then finished them off with a ball pean hammer.
I also placed a small piece of white Velcro on the front of the thigh to keep the ammo boxes from moving. Much happier with this result.

So started work on fixing my thigh ammo pack. First I made some ABS paste with some scrap ABS (which there seemed to be a lot) and some acetone I "borrowed" from the wife.
I then figured out where I wanted to trim and lightly penciled a mark. I did this on both sides.
With the help of a flat headed screw driver, sone needle nose pliers, and a little cursing, I was able to straighten the split rivets and remove the ammo pack. Luckily, I ordered two sets of split rivet's from Echo so I have a couple spares.
I then drew my pencil lines, added the curve, cut with my Lexan scissors, and smoothed everything out with some sandpaper.
By now, my ABS paste was ready (about the consistency of mayo), so I taped off the backside of the ammo pack to prevent the paste going everywhere, and dabbed a little in each hole.
Going to let that dry for a while.

Look at AM, (Troopergear). It can be done. Looking forward to your build.

Looking good, Brother.

How big are you? I'm 6'2", 225 and I got approved in my AM armor. It's all about making the armor fit you.

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Good luck!

E-6000 because I had to move a couple snap plates to fine tune the way my armor rode.

But, I understand, Steve will have the final say.

Not trying to be a jerk, but Abdominal details are optional according to this. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22583-expert-infantry-application-guidelines/

EDIT: Missed something, the center ab button plate needs to have a return edge (flashing) on it. I don't see on one yours.
Is that in the CRL?

Going to fill the hole, sand it smooth and then drill a new one.

I don't think it's written in stone where the snaps on your belt are placed. Nobody is going to see the snaps on the inside of your belt.
