I used the original Anovos limp belt for my HWT. The weight of the ammo pouches don't pull down on the belt like a holster with E-11. I removed the holster (re-used it on my Imperial Navy Trooper) and removed the drop boxes. The Kittle belt which is much more solid works great when holstering the E-11 on your TK without being pulled down

Hyperfirm not delivering or communicating
ABomb replied to RubberSlug's topic in General Weapons Discussion
Too bad. I was going over some CRLs and they mention Hyperfirm by name so at one point they must have been the standard by which all others were measured -

GML gave me the verbal OK. I'm in the club! ** UPDATE ** Got the official approval email. I am now one of 113 HWTs as of today per my GML, an most likely the first in my garrison

Voice amp placement within armor?
ABomb replied to SyntaxisDan's topic in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters
So your speaker is actually in the ab and not the chest? How high volume do you set yours? I always seem to get feedback on mine if I'm about 3/4 volume. I wonder if moving it to the ab will reduce feedback -
I was busy delivering Valentine gifts for civilians who requested TKs through the Great Lakes Garrison website

Got the wave 1 Anovos suit a couple years ago. Finally got approved September 2017! I'm going to get a second belt to switch between TK and HWT. I was already 501st with an Imperial Staff Officer costume and did a few unofficial troops in my TK. It is so much fun. I wish I had finished sooner as I lost a year.

Gun Rack for Blasters with some modifications
ABomb replied to T-Jay's topic in General Weapons Discussion
Now I have a project... -
I never thought about putting snaps through the holster holes. I will have to explore that option. I already figured out on paper how to do snaps on the drop boxes. Just haven’t gotten up the nerve to cut the straps!

I am converting my approved TK into an HWT. I want to be able to make my holster and drop boxes swapable between TK and HWT. i also found during my troops that carrying a DLT 19 can get heavy

Attaching Shoulder Mag Pouch without Back Pack
ABomb replied to Ragtooth's topic in Heavy Weapons Trooper
Some use a snap. Many of us have a bag full of extra snaps. I have near 40. -
Did you upgrade your belt? How did you attach the waist pouches to the belt?

Short leg modifications? Trimming lower shins?
ABomb replied to kjamesn's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I used masking tape across the top of the thighs and bottom of the shins. Then I marked points at the distance I wanted to cut off (in my case i wanted to remove 1 inch) and connected the dots. This should form a line parallel to the existing edges. Used a dremel to cut it off
