gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Looking good, just a couple of things, I would try to bring your bells in a bit more at the top, too much black showing, back of your drop boxes could go in a bit futher, need to be flush, paint the rivets on your knee ammo pack and also your ab rivets, could just be me but your biceps seem a bit large, should have more of a gap between your holster and belt, you could do with a bottom strap on the right side of your ab seems to be open and your right thigh could do to come up and rotate a little. You may just scrape in, last EIB for 2012 or first EIB for 2013 LOL. Good luck with approval Edited January 1, 2013 by gmrhodes13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is your belt attached to you AB panel? Or free floating ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreeveo Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 free floating at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well... If you consider attaching it to your AB panel via snap fasteners, then this will help to keep your belt in the right place, and the extra mounts will assist in holding the weight of your holster, and holstered blaster.

Jreeveo Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Of this I am aware, but I was a bit of a silly billy and shouldve done it before i made up the belt, was toying with the idea of velcro, what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Are you sure that you cannot add the female snap fasteners to the canvas belt still? Behind the last ammo box of your ammo belt? If you can add the fasteners there, Then you can add the male fasteners to your AB panel after. Try this without taking the belt apart. At the end of the day, taking the belt slightly apart isn't that much of a mission. Good luck trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Jamie , all is not lost mate please do not use velcro that will not hold the belt in postion , just attach the x2 male snaps to the abb , and you can with no probs fix the x2 female snaps to the belt without taking apart , there are some really great Billagrams some where showing the belt set up but i cant think where they are !

FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi Jamie, I can't find the required Billagram either, but if you look at this pic You are aiming for a female snap in the canvas belt, behind the last ammo box. If you position the snap there, then you have room for your finger to pop in and snap it to your AB plate. Line the belt up, just below your central AB buttons and then mark and add the male corresponding snaps to your AB panel. Nothing is lost.

Billhag Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) there are some really great Billagrams some where showing the belt set up but i cant think where they are ! Yerrp, they have been posted up on a few peoples ‘Build’ threads over on the UKG. Jame, here you go mate, easy to do even with the belt made up. And yerrp, your drop boxes are wrong. It might not be a problem with clearing EIB or Centurion but you may want to think about doing them the correct way Edited January 1, 2013 by Billhag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreeveo Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Cheers bill, drop boxes'll be easy enough just need spare rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Keith[TK] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 This is a good looking build! I think people have already mentioned the small fixes that you could work on, but nice job! Good luck on your EIB. On another note, I like all the diagrams that people are sharing. All of these images and pics are really helpful to troopers during builds.

Jreeveo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 they are aren't they? Im rather honoured that my mis-build drop boxes have been used by Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreeveo Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Am I just waiting on admin to look at this or do I need to do the little fixes peeps have mentioned and re-apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'll have a proper look at this application later tonight. But adding the snaps to the ab and belt is the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Like stated, you really should consider adding the snaps to the ab and belt to keep it in place. You should also paint the side split rivets and knee belt rivets white, as well as shorten the shoulder bell straps to bring them in closer to your chest. But that's minor issues to make you look even better. Approved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jreeveo Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wehey top stuff, I reckon I can have most of that done on my next day off (monday). Apart from scuffing up the ol' boots, whats needed for Centurion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I would recommend doing the mentioned adjustments before centurion. It's always better to be over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Well done trooper, was worth the wait and first EIB for 2013.
