Karin has retired. A Florida garrison member has filled in her shoes. Joseph over on whitearmor.net has a for sale section. Doesn't AM provide ABS cheese-grater hand plates with their kits? I'm sure if someone donated a set to Joseph he could use them as inspiration to make a latex version.

Way to improvise! Looks good!
-
They also have one on the Legion forums you can download and print.
Can you help me narrow down the location? I can't seem to ever get proper search results on the legion forums.

Jabba has been out for a while. Got him at Wal-mart too! The Rancor one comes out in a couple months and looks fantastic

Is there anyway to add the bread crumbs, i.e. The Mos Eisley Police Department > MEPD.net Feedback like it is displayed at the top of the page, at the bottom? So after someone makes a post you don't have to scroll all the way back to the top to go back to the forum section. It's a minor detail but the functionality is great.

Definitely look at approved SWAT submissions for the best references other than screenshots from the movie. You get a much clearer HD picture from SWAT submissions though. It killed me when I had to take some sandpaper to my beautiful ammo pouches. Just need to scuff them up some so they weren't brand new looking.

What's your height? I'm 5'5" and had to trim the top down quite a bit. If you are taller than me you may get away with just doing the thigh cut outs in the back.

Awesome work! Nice website too!

The sandie/dewback is only available at Wal-Mart in the US. You can make out the Wal-Mart blue exclusive sticker on my box. I got a second one to take out of the box a few weeks ago and it was marked down to $10. Good luck finding them in store at this point. Might have to look on ebay now.

That's an awesome idea. Might have to use this with my fellow sandies in my garrison.

Finally did it and had my first troop on Saturday March 5th for the Albany Kidz Expo at the Empire State Plaza. A little funny how my first troop is where I work. Discovered I still have a few areas prone to armor biting and that I should always put in new batteries for my fans at the beginning of a troop! I was super nervous walking out thinking my calves would come undone or my knee plate/thigh ammo belt rubbing would be a huge issue. Once we got out there and the kids (and adults) went nuts, all the anxiety went away. I had such a good time and by the end of the night after getting home I was exhausted. 7 hour troop with a couple breaks was a great way to jump in feet first.

Had a lot of fun trooping with you!

Late, but donated

Make sure you buy your Geo canteen now since it ships from England.

I understand the wife aspect. If it wasn't for tax return I wouldn't have made my trip last weekend to pickup my Dirty Boy pack. I still need to take pictures to share with the group.

For me, the original strapping method wouldn't work well on my body type so that's why I went with snaps. If it did, I would went that route from the get go.
-
You could always Armor All to give it a darker/shiny appearance. I believe mine look like yours
-
Sorry, I meant all the pieces. How they attach to the frame and each other.
-
Could you show the process of attaching them all together?
-
Yes, it just needs to be visual and it's possible but I wouldn't go the pure velcro route personally. I use the snap method and it's stronger. Last thing I need during a troop is something to come out of alignment or what not.

Professional level photos! The shoulder bell elastic should be on the bottom of the bell. You have it a bit high.

I'm a little obsessed with Pops since Force Friday
-
Kids and SW takes up a lot of my $ but eventually I want to start a new sleeve with my bucket and TD # as the centerpiece.

SInce you guys are in the middle of your builds, regardless of your preferred strapping methods you choose, remember for Police Officer (Level 2) you're going to need the bolts showing on the exterior like it would with the original strapping method. Just put that into consideration if you plan on going anything higher than basic.
