troopermaster Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've been looking at your photos again Allan and noticed another inaccuracy - belt rivet covers! The ROTJ troopers didn't have these at all, only ANH and ESB. Matt is the trooper expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nassik Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I assume you're talking about the belt loops on the holster. Good eye. I completely missed that detail and here I was just talking about it in another thread. LOL The holster was likely an added accessory that was added after the armor was assembled and it's an easy fix. I didn't think armor kits came with holsters. Since the blaster is from Allan's ANH kit it's reasonable to assume that the holster came from the same set. Nice observation, Paul. That was a good detail to catch.

dougefresh Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Shawn-- he's talking about the three details that fall between the "boxes" on the belt-- the ones molded from coins that cover the rivets used to attach the plastic to the canvas. ROTJ troopers don't have 'em. Pic courtesy of [EDIT] John! [/EDIT] and StarWarsHelmets.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the little square rivet covers on the belt. For ROTJ, the plastic ammo belt was riveted straight through the webbing belt and abdomen plate at each end only, not in the middle. Only ANH and ESB troopers had these rivet covers on their belts and they were not permanently attached to the abdomen plates. Instead, they were held on with snaps and could be removed from the armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nassik Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it, everyone. Any known way for Allan to to fix it? Sand it down and bondo it smooth perhaps? Will that detail screw up an EIB request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nassik Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Is there any update on this suit... has it been modded after taking in any of the suggestions mentioned in this thread? I do like a good RoTJ build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
