  1. As far as I know, most TKs over here use the normal rivets from Prym. Only one uses the split rivet but he got it from RS and doesn't know a source in switzerland for these. I also searched the websites of the biggest stores over here and only found plastic rivets or "Musterbeutelklammern" which are clearly the wrong ones. Maybe it's just a miscommunication due to language, but the crl states A split (bifurcated) or single cap rivet is present on the lower tab (cod area) of the abdomen armor. And when I google "single cap rivet" they look exactly like the one pictured below. Not to sound rebellious or something, I'm just confused Edit: I have these too: Is it possible that those above are double cap, and those below are single cap?
  2. Don't worry. That's in the making But I don't know if these exist over here as I've never seen one in a hardware store. Would a normal rivet be okay too? As long as it looks right on the outside. Edit: Normal rivet should be ok according to the CRL. That's great, so I can fix it without visiting 5 hardware stores again ;D
  3. Hi 1. There aren't any side rivets as they're only required for Level 3 which I'm not aiming for. L2 is enough for me 2 & 3 see photos attached.
  4. Fixed the screws. (Visited 3 Citys and 5 Shops to get those as nowadays most hardware shops only have Philips and Torx Screws... *sigh* (And ignore the black smudge on the holder. I cleaned after I saw it on the picture ) There's still a problem with the caps as I can't make them broader. If this isn't acceptable for Level 2 I'm forced to withdrew or pause the application until I can get new ones.
  5. This one? Please don't say that this strip is to short, as I don't have replacement material here :/ I'll try to fix the other things you guys mentioned on the weekend. Should be relatively easy to do.
  6. 1) Good thing I did those additional photos. It's already 1/2 inches 2) I'll try to fix that. 3) I still don't know what "V Style" is and google image search isn't helpful. Can you provide an example please? Does this describe the type of screwdriver-design? I.e. - vs +? 4) Will do as soon as I'm home
  7. I hope I'm doing this right. There may be some errors because english isn't my first language. I know the lighting isn't the best as is has a light yellow tint, but I tried to fix it a bit Due to Covid19 it's a bit hard to find someone who is able to take pictures and check the fitting of the armor. Garrison: Swiss Garrison TKID: 19844 Name: Ueli Isch Profile: https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=27757&costumeID=76 Armour maker: IronMotion Helmet maker: Ironmotion Blaster maker: Doopydoos E-11 kit. Full body pictures. One picture is from the approval so you see it's the correct color. The rivets may be wrong? When I imagesearch for "rivets" and "pop rivets" it shows the same pictures. So I'm not sure if those are correct or if they need to be filled. (Original Humbrol Colors. Might look a bit off due to lighting, can retake new pictures if you want.) I'm not sure if the screws are right? The description on the CRL isn't very clear. But I believe I have to change them. (With the V-Screws, does this mean Sink-Screws?) The writing is not visible when I'm wearing those. It's hidden under the armor.
  8. Finally approved. Requesting access https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=27757&costumeID=124
  9. Only one entry? Is this a bug in the forum? I'm not even a TK yet, I'm just an ID at the moment. I'm not sure if this qualifies for this contest. Anyway, I haven't had many troops yet, but one of them was pretty awesome. It was during the "Fantasy Basel" Convention in May 2018 in Switzerland. Brian Muir (yeah, the guy that sculpted Stormtroopers ) had an interview panel on one of the stages. Together with the organizers of the convention, our Garrison planned a little surprise for him. After he finished the talk, the Star Wars theme began playing and the spotlights switched to the area in the back. Everyone turned their head to the back and saw ~10-15 members of the Rebel Legion entering the room from behind. After that it switched to the Imperial March and ~25-30 members of the 501st entered the room and the stage. Our XO gave him some little presents ( I don't remember exactly what he got, but I believe it was a coin and and a patch from our garrison). Brian was quite overwhelmed from our surprise. I've talked a bit with him after the show and he told me, that he really liked what we did. Group picture: http://www.fantasybasel.ch/en/cs_gallery/gallery-2018/#prettyPhoto[gallery1]/92/
