First0rder[501st] Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Do you guys work with the GMLs for the initial approval process, ie: 501st approval and TX number? i know that i have to submit pics to the local garrison. but do they reach out to you for secondary approval since its Spec Ops? or do you gents only get involved for the Specialist approval??

Andy All basic approvals will go through your garrison. Specialists (higher levels of approval) are done here on the Spec Ops site. 1 Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Once a crl is fully approved a GML can approve the costume on their own. Even though that is the case, some GML reach out to the DL and XO for feedback if they are less familiar with the costume. Link to comment
First0rder[501st] Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I noticed over the weekend while testing the fit that im running into 2 issues that i have to fix before i submit pics. 1) Thigh Armor is pulling down on ab plate too much., Currently the Thigh Armor is being held with snaps under the Ab plate. Solution, im going to have to fab up a TK-Belt to hold up the thighs. Saw some folks make these for their TKs 2) Shoulder Canvas Strapping pulling towards the Shoulder Bells. Currently the Shoulder strapping is made of 2" canvas. Solution, Rob Kittell from Imperial Issue made me 2 Canvas Straps with plastic inserts. Essentially 2 Mini Belts that ill incorporate these. The Plastic inserts in these will keep the strapping from pulling. Belt is all set. Started off at Joann Fabrics and got the following Completed product. This one is a 1" belt with 2" Thigh Extensions. Im going to make a 2" belt with 2" Thigh Extensions as well to test which is better and more comfortable. New Shoulder Straps from Rob Kittell (Imperial Issue) with Plastic inserts: Rear Working on Cooling for the bucket here too. Ive got 2 x 5v fans and added a push button switch. Going to use a Anker Powercore 13000 compact charger 1 Link to comment
First0rder[501st] Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 So i was waiting on my Darman Props Neck seal and it just came in and also finished off the DoopyDoos e11 blaster.
