TK 6918[501st] Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looks good. If your doing the stunt configuration you only need 2 bottom screws to hold the holster to the belt. I have a question, does the AP thermal detonator come with the mounting metal clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Re the holster i meant to say it's riveteed to the canvas belt with 4 white rivets but has two 'screws' to hold it to the bottom of the belt via the belt loop .... The O2 has 2 bendy clips Pics to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys set the standards quite high the UKG cleared me last night and I figured I may aswell put the request in at the same time for EIB. I've been a member of FISD forum for a few months and let's face it, it's the place to been seen and be known in our Imperial universe....I'm just waiting for my TK number to come through from the 501st HQ so hopefully that's just a formality.. Can't wait to go on my first induction event in the UK.. We get fed too many Fish and Chips and of course drink Guiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren1970[501st] Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey Shiv, you and Steve are fast movers. Good on yer. I was gonna put in for EIB, need a canvas belt and a change to the holster amongst other things. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looks outstanding to me and ready to go! Except...the aerators. The stock aerators that come with the AP are not accurate enough for EIB. You can get new ones from Keith or Stomper, and I think soon a few others. Swap those out and you'll be set, I believe. Also, is anyone tight with AP? If so you should suggest he put good aerators in his kit. Else I'll give him a ping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi Paul The hovis are actually movie accurate one, my picture is just a bad one.... i'll post up a better picture.... Does this look ok... maybe th angle is not a good one, but the hovis are angled slightly on the end, i then painted them 2 tone and added the mesh....

Irishtrooper Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Shiv that a great piece of kit you got there bud, you wear it well! Darren, when you come up to CMG you can have a look at mine and Aarons armour as we are both EIB at moment, that is if you are going for it bud and havent done the mods yet.

SuperTrooper Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 We also need a picture showing the lens color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Certainly, lenses are flat shade 3 dark green from the one and only Smitty... Looking at my piccy they look bubbled but they are not. They just have a curve to them to fit the countour of the eyes. I also have a shade 5 dark green which are way too dark..... Anything else, let me know...... thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billhag Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Shiv Looking mighty darn fine there mate, As Terrell said, need a picture showing the lens color, so stick your lid over a lamp & take a shot so that you can show that the colour is green because it doesn't come out too well in the photos. Other then that I think you are good to go as soon as you get your TK number and costume listed up on the main 501st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey Billy, will do..... I see what your mean now about the colour of the lenses.... will find a lamp and do the colour test... Hopefully the TK number isn't far off...... Can someone nudge the 501st HQ for me.....

darren1970[501st] Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Sorry to hijack the thead Shiv but thanks to Mark ( Irishtrooper ) for the offer of EIB advice at Collectormania Glasgow. Also thnks to Steve Parkes ( you know why ) top man. May get to join you as an 'Expert Infantryman' yet Shiv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james007bond[TK] Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 No worries Daz, hijack away... Gentlemen, i stuck the lid on top of a lamp and this is how the pics have come out. Believe it or not, this bucket has shade 3 dark green lenses.... the lamp/flash on y camera kinda makes them look yellow... Perhaps I should take the pcs in normal sunlight?
