  1. Ok so I ran into a measurement problem. I'm going to have to take this one out and move it over slightly to have it fit perfect. Its just out of reach. And when I force it its too much pressure and makes the other snap at other end pop off. Luckily its going to be hidden but dang it. Also I realized I need to cover them split rivets. Cut my hand open. Just glad I didn't get no blood on my white belt. The small dot next to it is where it needs to be. Just drill that one out correct?
  2. Exactly what I was looking for.
  3. I needed this right now.
  4. How do you set the snap when its on that awkward angle of the ab?
  5. So basically use the tape as like a ceiling for where the top of belt will be then navigate my way down from it. Makes sense thanks for that tip brotha. Should I have kidney plate on as well?
  6. is this good spot for the snaps on ab? I have been researching this but then I see some people have different type of snaps there as well.
  7. sheesh man. I swear you have been through it all with builds you know every trick in the book. Haha. Uks is mailing me some. Hes only about 2hr drive away.
  8. So my son been putting his drawings on his walls. Look at that ATAT. So at hobby lobby they have 40% off all the pictures. I snagged him this huge print for only $30. They have tons of different prints also if anyone is looking to decorate a room check it out.

      Its crazy because when I was a kid the ATAT was my fav. ESB was what really got me into star wars. Still my favorite in the franchise.

  9. Man this was light weight stressful. Making sure you wont mess up and put a hole where it doesn't belong. I feel it looks pretty good.
  10. starting this belt. Going to pop off the strap on drop boxes and lower a few mm. Make sure you factor in length of drop box strap with the belt plate on. Really easy fix at least.
  11. some pick ups from hobby lobby last night. Cutting mat some snaps and foam to pad up some of the inside armor. And my lady surprised me with a chair for my workstation that looks real imperial. Some may forget there is a lot of little things that go into building a kit .I am brand new to the whole experience and have had to purchase a lot of things I never had to take on this project. Really started something that I truly am proud of.
  12. My ultimate goal is to have my kit as close to centurion it can be minus the e11.once I get that I can start working on the e11 to meet standards .Hopefully before year is over .I got this .Its a marathon not a race .This is the way.

      Note an E-11 isn't required for basic approval, only needed at EIB and Centurion ;)

  14. Man I tried putting that screen in the hovi tips it was popping all over the place stabbing me in the finger tips haha.then went to 99cent store got a strainer cut that up and butchered that also.hovi tip screen placement defeated me.
  15. I ordered some screws. Unfortunately they are coming from china so will be awhile.i checked my hardware store and they didnt have any.i was also thinking right glove because its darker.unlike the anovos one that is like grayish to my eyes.and just feels wierd.thanks for your input on this.
  16. after many failed attempts at putting the screen in my hovi tips i just purchased some from etsy.
  17. mobility cuts really make a huge difference.highly advise it.

  22. man shoulder will be sore for a good month or 2 .Guess I should not have played tackle football this year for our annual unity bowl we throw .Hope all goes will with yours brother.
  23. finally got this other thigh ready and matching with my other one .I had to make sure one was not fatter then the other or would just look silly to me .Now waiting game for it to dry.(after a few magnet pinches) also dislocated my shoulder for 3rd time this year on the 21st so sore shoulder also.
  24. whoaaaaaaaa.i like to constantly vacuum and put stuff away because i have bumped into pieces knocked them off the table.and you said a week!!!! most the tools needed to build the kit i didnt have so i had tons of trips to home depot, hobby lobby, lowes and ebay deliveries i had to wait on.still waiting for more stuff via mail.a week though sheesh.your a build beast.
