Drop boxes

[Dark Trooper]

I have a question for Drop Boxes?

 

Alright I glued my drop boxes with strap to my ammo belt I noticed that it was fliping to the back side.

Has any done it this way? what other was can you put on your drop boxes?

A photo would be good to see what you mean, you may of had not enough strapping, it is normal to use elastic so it gives when walking

Here is my pics of my drop box I used ABS glue to glue them down do you think this should do the job?

They look pretty good, if you go for EIB or Centurion you will need inner drop boxes, these help stop the boxes wanting to flip back as they end up flush with the belt at the back , you can see the inner boxes below

Best to get the double boxes so they hang better. Just using the outside shell like most use will always lay funny.

alright thanks for the tips you have gave me, I am planning to do a inner box already.

I want to EIB status for right now

I want to go EIB, but I really like the idea of using the Drop Boxes for storage.

You can still use them for storage and get EIB. The requirement is that you have closed drop boxes. You can close them with magnets so that you can open them when you want to. I was thinking of doing this myself at some point. However the boxes get knocked around quite a bit while walking and posing so I would not trust anything valuable inside of them.

 

I could be wrong, I just know mine take a beating from time to time. If you want to store things, I have seen people use their Thermal Detonator used to hold keys and such.

 

Either way, close the back with inner drop boxes and you will look better buddy.

I have seen on some post that some have used a block of wood and then cut out some abs plastic to fit in the boxes can you still do that ?

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

No you can't have just flat backs, must be an inner backing, with sides

Good to know that I can still get EIB and good info on the drop boxes. Im building my TX and did create my TD to be a canister using some pipe end fittings. That should suffice.

Just so you know this thread and the link from the post above helped me get the Drop boxes. Looks like EIB may be in sights for me after all.

Good stuff! They'll work out a lot better for it too.
