68Brick[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Airborne. My kidney plate arrived with no return edge on the bottom. I'm hoping the belt will hide that seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Using the paint stick and heat gun method from here on FISD, I gave my belt some shape. I inverted the paint sticks in this picture. i used them so the warp in the paint sticks helped round my belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sewing machines must have been a Rebel invention. Evil things they are. I had to use use some FORCE to guide my hands and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 90% Complete Belt. I have to add rivet covers and close up my drop boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm going to make the space in the drop boxes usable for keys etc. Idea stolen from another FISD build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrfox1 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 siiiiiiiiiiiiick I will probably follow suit with the drop boxes. Looking good dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Sacrificed a pair of my wife's socks for pouches in my drop boxes. A little Velcro to secure them and to keep the boxes closed and my belt is good to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Gloves saw a little glue yesterday. A bottle of wheel wax had the perfect curvature to it and fit nicely in the gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kredal[TK] Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I really like your dropbox pouches. I may steal that idea. (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 That's a great idea to glue the hand guards on. I love that t-shirt too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 So, it's been a while I know. I've been busy making snaps plates and straps. Oh, and enjoying the summer sun! Time for another test fit. The pics are with snaps holding one side of the strapping and tape holding the other side. I already see in the pics that I have to bring the sides of the kidneys in (water bath time), and lower my belt on my ab plate. I've also got to figure out a way to keep my butt inline and minimize the gap between the butt and the kidney plate. Please have a look at the pics and let me know if everything is sitting correctly. Also, do I have the correct shoulder bells on the correct shoulders? I think I do. Let me know as I want to make it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 And I might as well pose with the blaster ... Hot sweaty smirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I also gotta close up the kidney to ab gap. I think i need to remake those elastic straps and put some tension on them. Or, move my snap plates in a touch. I would prefer not to dance with the Rebel sewing machine again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
