redking1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hey folk's. So this month i am finally getting my armour up to scratch at least for membership/The officer program. I am currently trying to get my armour ready for membership with my local garrison the UKG I don't know what is really nessessery for basic membership as my armour is getting there slowly after a reasearch the details etc. But one of the thing's while reading up on one of the members trying to get membership is the side rivets. I was just wondering what kinda rivets are these? Also are there not supposed to be any rivets on the right side? So far i do have quite a bit left to do but i am getting there slowly. And my last question is how many screws are ment to be under the chest plate? I count 2 in the link down below but i seen members have many seprated thoughout the bottom,and i like the idea of being a few more spreaded then just 2 in the middle. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/14-howto-original-strapping-tms-personal-1-mm-anh-weatherd-armour/ (rivets) And here's a recent photography pic of me just for fun http://knicksen.com/2016/02/28/imperial-occupation-edinburgh-starwars-stormtrooper-photo-www-henni-photo/ Anything els about getting my armour to scratch would be really helpful. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD42115 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I followed this post over on the FISD when i did mine as i was going for centurion TK before i converted to the dirty side. The split rivets that are required should be 8MM for accuracy http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30595-ap-armour-with-anh-centurion-as-goal-build-thread/page-4 Dannys build is a great guide to follow. here are a few pictures of mine. taken before the conversion to TD. Rivets are only on the left side non the right. A few people have done what i did and make snap plates instead of making the rivets usable. As for the emulation or installing the screen strapping on the chest and ab plate see picture below. :-) Should look something like this, preferred to use slotted (flat head) machine screws, unfortunately i had non available, but these dont look bad.

redking1 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thank's! Look's fantastic,Gonna get them ordered But how is the chest really strapped to the Ab plate? I have had to many times the ab plate go's way too high and you can see the undersuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had to many times the ab plate go's way too high and you can see the undersuit. No Problem. I have internal snap strapping keeping the chest plate in the correct place at all times like the attached photo but i have 3 instead of 2.. one at each side and one in the center (replacing 1,2,3,4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
