Hey @MahXPrime, do you have a source for the leather straps for the vest? I'm looking to upgrade mine.

Sorry for the delay! Link works, but it's a secret group apparently. Shoot me a message with your Facebook profile and I'll invite you!

I used some rare earth magnets in mine. I rarely troop with the chest box on, it's more in case there's a special event where I won't be moving too much

The CRL on the main 501st site would be the one to go by for approval.

You should definitely reach out to your Garrison's GML for tips on if they'll work or not. They look good, but I don't get to make that call.

You should be able to get an officer belt from TiggWolf or Wampawear

The pouches just slip over the belt with loops. The detonator has clips, similar to TK detonators.

Sorry for the delay. The scout belt does not need to be attached to the officer belt.

I don't think that rig would work. Best option is to send it to your GML and see what they think.

You mean the scout drop box? This isn't my build, but a garrison mate's on how he attached his scout drop boxes on his TB build. He put snaps in his belt and boxes. Mine is snapped to the belt, but I have one long strap instead of the snaps inside the drop box.

I got mine on eBay from a seller called Military 1st. Hope that helps you out.

I got my kit from Jim Tripon on Facebook. He sells the bucket, chest and back as well as chest boxes. https://www.facebook.com/jim.tripon

Finally got my boots in and submitted the other day. Full album here Got denied for a few things, most difficult being the leather straps on my flak vest. In the meantime, I did get this cool motorcylce helmet bag that fits my Jim Tripon bucket! Color scheme matches too! Here is the amazon link if interested: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B016S9UMWC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

With the CRL finalized, I started making modifications to help get my costume up to specs. Unfortunately, I'm constricted by funds at times, so changes have to start small. Began with the AR-15 pouch to add to my flak vest! Easily found on eBay. How have other members made it so the ammo pouches are full? I was thinking of getting some trading card boxes painted black, but I think they're a little too wide.

A little late to the thread, but I believe both Iden and Hask were mentioned to be pilots in the book prior to becoming members of Inferno Squad. Obviously, Inferno Squad is a Special Operations unit, but both detachments had a claim and I think it worked out amicably for both parties to be happy. Don't want another Shoretrooper situation...

My chest box has magnets in it so I can add/remove it from my armor based on situation. Active troops, no chest box. Promotional ones, yes chest box. Just some food for thought.

Likewise! I know I have some modifications to make. I don't to get too ahead of myself and am just waiting for an official CRL so I know what needs to be done.

Looks good! I think the MP-40 pouch is supposed to be attached to the shoulder though, and not the flak vest.

Sure thing. I'll set it out and take some individual photos for now. I'm hesitant to make many large changes right now until the CRL is final, but if there's anything in particular you need feel free to mention it.

I just want to second the begging for Levels. One of the groups I'm in on Facebook seems to be pushing for 100% accuracy by making things like leather strapping basic level 1 requirements. I take pride in the accuracy of the 501st, but like Maxime said, outside of other members, nobody is going to know the difference.

Great, thanks!

Hey Maxime, where did you get the additional AR-15 pouches for the flak vest? I need to add them to mine still.

Spent the past two days at my buddy's place bringing my Del Meeko build up to speed. A few more things need to be done before it's complete: -Mic tips in the helmet -Add Inferno Squad arm patches -Biker scout thermal detonator -Need to attach side straps between chest and back armor -Additional AR-15 pouches needed on flak vest -Currently using TIE Pilot gloves and Jack Boots. Will acquire accurate set when CRL is finalized After that, any other changes will have to be made to make it CRL compliant. Obviously the CRL isn't set in stone yet, so a lot of the build process was done with that in mind to make changes as needed.
