Holster connections

[Lupex[TK]]

I’m working on modding my armour for accuracy and EIB status but I’ve hit a snag with regards to attaching the holster for ANH –Stunt as the information in the academy has some discrepancies to the placement of the rivets/snaps/ etc. Some info states they should be attached at the top and some state it should be attached at the bottom, as below.

 

2 at bottom of holster strap;

 

----

 

'the holster will be affixed with two fasteners at the bottom. These may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws'

 

----

 

'The holster will be affixed with two fasteners at the bottom, instead of none or four. These may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws.'

 

2 at top of holster strap;

 

----

 

'â– For ANH Stunt, the holster will be affixed with two fasteners at the top. These may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws'

 

----

 

ANH Stunt :

* The holster should be attached using only two fasteners at the top of the straps.'

 

 

Can someone offer some clarification please?

I'm not quite sure which bit you mean?

The bit where the holster straps attach to the belt?

 

Heros had 4 2 top, 2 bottom and stunts just 2 at the top

 

Is that whats confusing you?

hello Mr Danter,

 

Yep, I'm on about where the holster straps attach to the belt. I had thought that it was as you descibed but the sources I stated have some discrepansies about this as two say that it should be just 2 at the bottom whilst the other two say 2 at the top

 

EDIT : Original post now has direct relevent quotes.

 

So I was after some clarification so that i can go for EIB status.

Can anyone help me?

Use 1 rivet per strap and attach it approx 1/2" from the BOTTOM edge of your belt. Leave a good inch between the belt and the top of the holsetr too.

[Lupex[TK]]

Is that the current consensus and would snaps be ok?

 

 

 

If yes, how do we go about having the discrepancies sorted out?

[Lupex[TK]]

The stills do look pretty conclusive. So if I do it this way will I get Elite Infantryman status?

[troopermaster]

Absolutely

 

If you use these kind of screen caps for reference with your armour build you cannot go wrong.

As long as you meet the full requirements for all the elements of your armour I can see

no reason why not mate.

Here’s a quick guide for ANH holster placement that may help.

 

 

 

 

To ensure that you have covered off all the requirements, take a quick look at our previous

EIB submissions as well as studying the different elements of the real on screen guys.

If I remember right you have an FX, so you may want to take a look at Paul – Daetrin thread

outlining some of the changes needed to apply to an FX for EIB standards.

Hope this helps mate

Thanks for this Mr Hag, I'm sure it will prove useful when I get on my home pc, work always block the good pictures.

Billy,

 

your drawings always amaze me.

[Lupex[TK]]

Now that I can see the picture, it is exactly what i what i was looking for. Excellent drawing mate. Many thanks.

 

Have you got any more drawings for commonly asked questions that I could have a look at?

[Lupex[TK]]

I can't quite see on the screen caps, what colour are the belt connectors, white or silver?

Silver mate, Here's some pics

Would chicago screws be ok for this?
