Ab armor is now fully assembled:

I only got the ESB belt done - building the belt turned out to be a lot more challenging than I expected. blink.gif I think I'll save the ANH belt for a later time, once I finish the ESB features and get EIB-certified. Besides, I'll need a couple of smaller projects for the winter. tongue.gif

 

Inner drop boxes by kwdesigns, canvas belt by firebladejedi:

I assembled the belt so that the drop boxes would be easily removable for HWT purposes. Also, I initially tried to put the inner drop boxes in place without permanently gluing them, but they wouldn't stay put. I'll have to come up with an alternate means to store hotel keys and other credit card sized items.

 

Last step before building the straps and doing the final fitting - attaching the TM handplates to my gloves. More later. smile.gif

 

 

On the ab plate, where the buttons go (sorry, i'm new to this armor thing) I'm having problems getting the box to stay in place. Also after i finally get it to stay put with velcro, when i bend down it falls off. What can I do to make it stay in place?

 

People tell me to glue the box in the chest so it would stay permanently, but I want to leave it like that so I can remove and repaint the buttons easier and I can also be a Sandtrooper in the future. Anyone got any tips?
