Aaallllmost there! If you could include a photo of the inside of the thigh ammo belt rivet, that should be the last thing we need - just to show the type of rivet connection. Thanks for your patience.
Here is the pic from my EIB application for reference:
You did ask for INSIDE, didn't you! Ugh...see what happens when you half-read something? lol!
I'll take the photos as soon as I'm home tonight and thanks again!

Hi Rodney,
Almost there! Could you please include a photo of the inside of your thigh ammo belt connection? This is to check the EIB requirement:
- Thigh ammo belt is attached to thigh with a solid head rivet, painted white, in the upper corner and fastened to the lower thigh ridge.
- The rivets used shall be single cap, double cap or split rivets. No pop rivets allowed.
Good morning and funny how paths cross! Plus I'm honored to have the honor of being your first review.
I've attached the additional photos as requested and please let me know if you need anything else!

Much like AC-DC, I’m back in black. Well at least my TD screws are!
Please let me know if there is anything else you need and have a great rest of the day!

Ok, I figured if I didn’t to it tonight then it might drag on so made the following adjustments:
Fixed wonky brow
Put proper screws in TD
Put on the proper belt for Hero
Made ab / kidney plate adjustments
Made adjustments with bicep & forearm
Appreciate the guidance and please let me know if you need anything else!

Nice work, a couple of things you could do to make this really look the part.
I would lower your belt a little, they normally don't cover the button.
Are they pan head screws on your TD, they look like dome head.
It appears on the side photos your ab and kidney plates are quite lining up, may need to adjust the strapping.
Brow trim looks a little wonky.
Hero version has longer straps on the holster and using 4 rivets not 2 like Stunt version.
Looks like your right arm bicep needs to come up and be rotated slightly.
Forearms could come down, you have a big gap between them and your gloves.
A couple of adjustments and I'm sure you'll have no problems, good luck.
Sincerely appreciate the feedback!
I will make those photo adjustments and resubmit the photos. It might be a couple of days with the work schedule but will have them up this week.
Thanks again!

After getting a few other 501st designations (TI, IG, IC) have decided to follow my "true calling" by becoming a TK!<br><br>
I've probably met a few of you on previous troops but looking forward doing future ones as member of this detachment.<br><br>
Thanks in advance for any wisdom and guidance you can provide!<br><br>
