Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Buying armor from a 501st member or retired member, does not guarantee approval. The armor must meet current standards. Buying on ebay is a crapshoot. We do not recommend it. That said: The gloves are no good. The t-bits on the bicep armor are horrible. There is no pic of the thermal detonator. The ...

This new harnessing information wouldn't impact the current CRL and admissions, correct? (Yet anyway...) I just got my armor today and I'm getting started on just that, following some build threads at BSN and the tut on the SC page. If you're willing to drop some knowledge on a scout in progress, i...

Don't post events in the events thread please, unless you are coordinating it.

Moved from official events to open channel.

G-man is just talking about it, which is fine.

When we get contacted, then an event thread will be created.

ABS is more commonly used.

Nope, not pricey at all. Just found them....

That looks like crap.

BBC527's link to his build thread showed how he was able to add length to his belt. You should check that out.

Use a hosting site for your pics, as opposed to you attaching them. flickr, photobucket, etc.

Did you look here for the belt assembly instructions?

So yes it's the KW ABS belt.

Do you have an picture of what the issue is?

Is it the KW ABS belt kit?

Probably RT-Mod armor, but unless you have a giant head, any helmet kit.

Go here and ask that question. They will be able to help you decide.

This is isn't facebook. Quit bumping your thread by quoting yourself.

I mean really... who quotes their own posts?!?!

Dans biker scout is amazing and probably the most sexy biker scout in our Garrison. Pay attention to his advice. :rotflmao: Actually Kelli is the sexiest. Dan is a close 2nd.... :mrgreen: MO...the very first step to inquire about or work towards is the soft goods (cumberbund, pouches, vest, jumpsui...

I use a free piece of egg crate foam, I got from some computer packing almost (7) years ago. It's not even glued it. Just tucked inside the helmet.
