First of all, Great attention to detail! I do believe the blue on the buttons are too dark, needs to be the lighter blue. They may want the ammo pack on the thigh to be lowered a bit in the front.

 

Other then that, looks like a superior build!!

 

You do have to be an EI before you can submit this thread though.

 

Good Luck Trooper!

Oh boy! I didn't know that! If I have to I can easily resubmit. Changing the button color would be a snap and lowering the thigh ammo belt down a bit isn't a problem either. Thanks!

I applaud your ethic! While I'm unable to give you any comments, I think it's superior that you submitted both EI and Centurion, the same day you got you TKID. Too my untrained eyes, you look most excellent! Good luck in your approvals trooper!

Overall this is an excellent ATA build. So congratulations to that!

 

I do have a few suggestions on improvements. As noted earlier, your blue ab buttons are a tad too dark. French blue would be more correct. Your holster is attached too high up on the belt, the rivets should be closer to the bottom. And you might want to upgrade those brads to split rivets.

 

I can't stop your approval on any of those mentioned "flaws". But I can give you some time to fix them if you want. Let me know if you want a happy deployment officer or a badge. :)

Lol! Well a happy deployment officer is the ideal! How about I'll change the color today for the badge and on my honor will update the brads as soon as I can get some screen accurate 8mm split rivets (or cap rivets, I can think of a few sources now) and I'll need to get a fresh canvas belt to lower those holster rivets which will take a bit of time to order, unless you can think of a solution with the existing belt. Would that be acceptable?

I hope to follow in your footsteps, if your going to build why not aim for the highest you can :D

That is acceptable. I don't think you need to replace the belt though. 2 small holes where the old rivets are isn't something to worry about. Once the fabric frays a little that fraying will probably cover up the holes, yet it won't compromise the integrity of the belt.

Cap rivets go on the knee and split rivets on the side and crotch. Looking forward to seeing your upgrades. Post them up here once you've done them. :)

 

With that said, you're not approved. :duim:

Hey Now! I'm actually painting the buttons as I type! I'll have those pics posted shortly! And I'll be ordering the nickel split rivets from Trooperbay shortly after I decide if I want to replace the belt anyway. I'm a bit anal like that! I know it just adds to the authenticity to have the frays but I may not be able to live with two extra hole in the belt. I'll try it and if it bugs me I'm upgrading. Thanks Mathias!

See if you can't get brass split rivets instead. It's more authentic. ;)

I posted an ebay link in ladyinwhite's centurion thread for a pack of 100 brass split rivets. You might even save a dollar on that.

Those are too small Mathias. They're only 6mm. I'm going to try to find something between 8-10mm+ before I resort to those. In the nickel vs. brass issue, I understand that both you and I would know that they are brass (and God knows I'm OCD enough to let it bug me), but if I'm going to paint them white you'll never see the color of the rivet anyway. I don't know, you got me thinking too much about this now! What to do....what to do......... :P

Nope, 6 mm is the length of the legs. The head size is 8 mm diameter. It's the most accurate rivets found I've seen. TM also uses identical ones on his builds.

Although you might want to get rivets with longer legs as those are easier to split than the shorter legs.

Alright! I'll pop on the ones you recommended.

 

Step one to a happy deployment officer, the updated buttons:

I'll clean up the edges shortly.

 

Now onto lowering the holster and ordering the rivets!

 

Thanks Mathias!
