Nice work trooper, a few photos I know the DO's like to see:

 

Sniper plate front, side and side

Thigh ammo strip rivets inside and out

Also side Ab/Kidney rivets 

 

Good luck with approval

Awesome background by the way 

[BAZINGA[TK]]

Oh, they weren't on the checklist but I didn't look to see they are in the photo examples so will add them.  

 

Thanks.

 

Bart

 

P.S.  I couldn't crop in Imgur.  I would have preferred to clean them up more.  However, thank!

Full checklist here

I was looking at a PDF that the wording didn't match all the photos, but I think I have them all added now.  Thanks.

Hi Bart, thank you for your request.

 

A few more photos would be helpful.

 

-A photo of the 6 side rivets. Something like this:

 

 

 

-Photos of the belt, from both sides, where the plastic belt ends and an image of the belt from behind. Like these:

 

             

 

 

-A "more frontal" photo of the blaster (side of the counter), like this:

 

 

 

Thanks!!!

[BAZINGA[TK]]

Belt is built as permanent attachment so can't remove it.  I can show the other side of it from the back, the holster side is already in the photo set.  I'll get the other ones uploaded when I can and post when done.  Thanks.

[BAZINGA[TK]]

Added the photos.  Unfortunately no photographer around so not the best, but you can still see everything.

Great seeing you apply for this Bart. Good luck

Hi Bart. We must ask one more favor of you, before we can "move along" with your application. We believe that the dimensions of your TD are not accurate.

 

The CRL states for Basic Level: 

length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm).

End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width.

The thermal detonator is attached via metal or metallic-appearing clips, approximately 1" (25mm) wide.

 

Your end caps appear to be too thick. You must trim them a little so that they measure approx. 19mm.  I attach a reference image where you can see the approximate measurements.

 

                                                                                                                                                        Reference images

              

 

 

                                                                                                                  Reference image

 

 

Thanks Bart.

I just checked and the dimensions are off as you observed.  Unfortunately that change is beyond my ability to make at this time and it will just stay as built by AP.

 

Thanks for the consideration.  If I am able to find someone to correct it I will update at that time.

You could always reach out to AP (Mark) and ask what glue (if any) he used to keep the caps on, sometimes they are just tightly fit with no glue, this would make it easier to remove with a twist and trim.

 

AP and ATA both use a narrower tube than many other makers or in fact the actual screen pipes, this can make gaps look even smaller.

 

I have manage before to trim the end caps on a TD that was glued, I ran a blade around the inside of the cap and it help pry it loose, may be an option, make sure you put some tape on first so you are scratching the pipe.

[BAZINGA[TK]]

No worries.  I'm not going to make any attempts to modify it.  Not going down that road again.

Due to the delay in any movement on this submission we are considering it inactive. 

[BAZINGA[TK]]

Yes.  I assumed this was already marked as such as I had indicated I wouldn't be proceeding.  Thanks.
