  1. Hi I have a question on the ammo belt cap covers, I bought a set of AM armor of a member of the 501st and after lots of armor modifications and re-strapping I'm almost done. I've got down to the belt and the covers that came with it are the bottom 3 in the photo below, but it also came with 2 extra ones as well which seem more accurate to what the majority of people use but I'm short 1 to use those.

     

    Question is will the bottom 3 covers be approved by 501st standards? If not where can I get get a 3rd cover

  2. I just bought 1" dark grey foam to line my case and 1" egg crate foam to line the bottom from a store here in Burlington called the Foam Store. There's likely foam places near you goggle search for it. If not here's the link for the Burlington store. It was $56 for all the pieces cut to fit my case. If you are attaching it with velcro I here you need to glue the velcro with CA to the foam to make it stick. <br><br>

  3. I bought this balaclava from amazon.ca<br><br>

    It's great as you can wear it many different ways. Its very light and you get 2 so when ones gets hot you can swap it. <br><br>

    For boots go try on men's shoes and see what size you are and they you'll know what to get. I got the TK Boots they are great but the run a bit narrow. I'm a tall woman so I men's I wear a 10 1/2. I ordered a 11 and they fit perfect. <br><br>

    I bought the DeWalt 63 gallon tool chest of Amazon.ca for $113 shipping included. Its great and fits all my gear.

  4. Welcome, <br><br>

    I'm close to finishing my armor and hoping to join in a month or two. <br><br>

    As for a DLT check out this: <br><br>

    I ordered one they aren't shipping till March but since you don't have armor you'll have time. <br><br>

    As for your questions a friend of mine in the 501st mentioned due to the recent terrorist actions troopers were asked to not be weapons to scantioned events. I'm sure it will return to normal soon. It could be venues booking troopers for TFA premiers were likely being cautious and maybe asked for no weapons.<br><br>

    Where are you in Southern Ontario? I'm in Burlington.<br><br>

  5. Apply heat, I used a hair dryer on high for approx 25 seconds on the pieces glued by e6000 and they "slowly" lifted off with the gentle pressure from a flat head screw driver slowly prying them up. The first will take 2-3 blasts of heat. Be patient and go slow. <br><br>

    Rub away the left over residue and you are good to go.
