One person answered me in a post saying these were actually Single cap rivets. 2 on the tan straps at top of holster, 1 on the holster weapon retention strap Not screen accurate as original were cap rivets, but like wingnuts idea of being bale to remove the ABS portion if required for cleaning fabric.ģ for the holster. These may be decorative on mine and not hold the side strapping on.ģ holding ABS belt to fabric belt. Please let me know if this is right:ħ brass washers on inside, unknown diameterĦ on kidney / ab plates, left side. The bell to white shoulder strap attachment will be switched to Velcro instead of snap. Easy to replace if it stretches out over time. I'll probably keep it simple (no snaps.) and Velcro in a white elastic strap. The SDS relies on the ABS shoulder strap velcro'd to chest and back to hold everything together. There is currently no fabric shoulder strap at all connecting chest and back. I'll probably make the straps shorter or add more Velcro inside the armor as the current ones are way to long. It allows for some fine tuning in the fit. I'm still liking the elastic fabric with Velcro attachment that came with the SDS. I won't need to do as many (or any.) snaps in the armor. I've ordered the Mrnostripes bracket and strap system to replace some of the current Velcro and elastic. So, even though it should be simple to just make a list I'm finding it confusing. Unfortunately, some of the hardware info is posted between several pages, with lots of back and forth. I have been going through wingnut65's (and others) builds, and the "What we know about strapping" post in Screen Replica section. I'm going more towards functional with "some" screen accuracy. Ordering hardware and leather as soon as I can nail down details. With a little work, I can make it to level two at least. I also ordered new helmet ear pieces to address (in the future) the 4 ear bumps. I have a new thigh ammo pouch on order with ATA to address the rounded top corners of the SDS piece. I will then fill in the gap with ABS paste. I will be taking the little cut off pieces and glue them on the inside of the armour at the same spot. It's mentally challenging to take a blade to pristine armor.Īddressing the too long covering strips on the thigh armor. Here is the link to the pre-approval thread: Soooooo, long story short, I think I am supposed to post my mods and updates here. Since I am fairly new to this, I didn't realize there were actual build threads on the forums. I started posting pics in those spots, and realized they weren't the place to do it. Many people started asking me questions and giving me helpful comments about the SDS armour on the Pre-approval post. I kind of messed it up, because I thought I was in their region, but I will actually be in the Canadian Garrison. I also started something on a Garrison page (Capitol City Garrison, Canada). I started a thread on the TK Pre-approval page just to get a general feel for what I need to do for my SDS Hero armor.
