Bill's advice is definitely something you should take in consideration!

Seems like it would work, actually i've seen someone doing the same thing already (gmrhodes13 i think). And don't worry, most of us fasten the canvas belt with only two snaps. The only thing i would change would be to skip the snaps for the drop boxes and just loop the strap around the belt like it wasdone on the original armors. They will still be removable as you will be able to separate the ammo belt from the canvas belt.

Double post.

That looks ok lad! The first limb is the hardest, it should become easier and easier now on . You should be able to wipe the glue residues with a towel with some alcohol on it (e.g. White Spirit). And also, you still have some return edge left at the wrist opening of the forearm, remove it completely if you want to go for EIB/Cent:

You won't need it, but best of luck anyway Walter!

I like that middle box in the background. That "Newe..." inscription is very tempting .

Most ANH have M19 scopes so that's a really good find!

You can only host a limited size of data directly on the FISD. Host your pics on another plateform and then link the pics: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/5-howto-post-images-on-the-forums/

It should be 12mm, so what you have is quite good, except for the color. -----------

Here ya go: Found over the MEPD.

Yes, i'd go Silver for screen accuracy.

You will unlikely find genuine Newey snaps as they are very rare, but i had found some decent equivalent when i looked for it. Here's the thread with links on eBay: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27253-newey-style-snaps/

I'm sold! Fantastic

Great work! That is a very nice blaster. Will you be able to fit the central part of the front sight now that the outer part is glued tough? Or maybe you're planning to do the dovetail cut? Oh and don't let the grip screw on the "Free" position! Basically this screw secures the pin that prevents all the trigger mechanism to be removed from the body of the gun, you don't want to lose that pin in a middle of a fight

CONGRATULATIONS Walter!! I'm genuinely happy for you, you deserve it more than a lot of folks! Go for EIB, go, go, go!! You have all what it needs to. And why stop here? Believe me, Centurion is at your very reach

Definitely! Great work.

Stupid accuracy

Ha ha, excellent! Very nice picture!

You got me on that one. I was under the impression both were 25mm, i checked... and was wrong .

What you're doing is mean Dennis! Give us the full shots!

Very nice work! And ingenious way to zinc-plated them.

Cursed be that stupid metric system! Oh, and in case you'll need it, back cover stripes for shins and thighs should be 25mm (2,5cm) wide.

Well, first of all, front cover stripes on shins are supposed to be 20mm wide. The thing about cover stripes is continuity. If you have a 10mm cover stripe on the front of your shins then you need a 10mm cover stripe on the front of your thighs. However, i reckon i really don't know if 10mm cover stripes will be acceptable for approval. The way i see it would be to unglue them and start over with 20mm cover stripes and use padding inside the shins to prevent too much floating. The boots will also help keeping them in place.

Don't worry you haven't f* up anything, NE forearms have excess on them. As Jay is saying, align the top and adjust the length at the wrist end.

Yes, pretty much nothing to improve here. RS did a great job and you are wearing it very well!
