  1. ^^ i appreciate that you want me to be approved ❤️, but im not yet, still working on the suit, but i hope i will finish the project soon. about the suit, in bought the Elbeco in the USA, the shop sold only to US customers so i needed the help of my friends brother in law in the US, so he send it over to me, now the suit is at a friend in Leipzig to get the necessary changes, he is quite experienced in making clothing.
  2. Thank you, this idea sounds interesting, do you mean making a loop with the strap using the triglides and put the belt through it?
  3. Some small update on my project, i now have a E-11? My helmet from DG Props seems to be ready in 1-2 weeks, and my Elbeco coverall arrived at the german customs office, hopefully soon at my home, cant wait to work with the stuff!
  4. Thanks for your reply ?, i will think about the backstraps.
  5. Hey, may i ask for your wisdom again? @Blackwatch? I just took another look at the CRL again and stopped at the web harness, i found a difference in my own setup, the CRL says triglides on the front, but i have them at the front and back... would this also be OK or should i remove the back ones and only leave the front triglides and permanently fasten the backstraps?
  6. Hello ?, i recently got a holster with the "wrong" mounting system (ANH type), but tried to mount it, what do you think of the idea... should i go for it, maybe shorten the straps and paint it black? Or should i order a new one with the Black loops? Edit: i modified it as @Blackwatch instructed. ->
  7. What i wanted to say is that i would only use non CRL parts for private actions, private photos, not connected to 501st events or matters. Its just, some part i want to own.
  8. Well i dont own them, i wrote the customer support this exact question per mail one month back, and sadly no answer yet.
  9. Yes i also think its covering surfaces fast and its also fast drying, i was able to touch the boots just after 2 minutes. Surprisingly im still at the first can.
  10. Lets say you can make a Army Trooper kit as shown in the CRL without a chest armor and let yourself approve, and you can procure yourself a chest armor as a personal addition later, i also plan to get myself a chest plate if i get approved and wear the piece if allowed or if im somewhere around in the costume privately. Im kinda the chest armor guy i have seven military body armors at home... ?
  11. And i can go over to the next piece, i finally got fitting boots, but they need some love to comply with the specialist requirements, your opinion is very welcome! I got some MilTec Knobelbecher, they are wide enough for my legs and i shortened the shaft by 13cm to get down to 23cm, to let them look more finished or lets say to let them look less cut down with a scissor ?✂️ i got some furniture repair adhesive leather material and put a stripe over the edge, now they look quite close to the Denver boots and they are now waiting for the spray can. Update -> The boots are now painted, If you have any advise what i should further improve on them, please let me now! (i will weather them later together with the other stuff) ->
  12. Some new piece is finished, its a cheap clone of the ESS Profile goggle, what do you think? I added dark green Oracal 8300 window foil to the backside of the lense. My hope was that the delivered strap would be green enough, but it came with a grey one so i used the montana olive green can again.
  13. Today the paint arrived and i was able to complete two pieces of the Army Trooper kit. ?
