Thanks, Brother!!! You got me scrambling looking for a post about a "switch". But I realize now that you mean from SE to straight ROTJ...eh, right? I'm a goof. I know!

Terry, your ROTJ's is amazing to the very much small details Kudos to you !! I have the same JP, guants, amor, and of course the great BBF ammobelt ... will try to make it look as better as yours Your thread of attaching the WB amor to the vest is a great inspiration to me as well

cheers,
frank

Hey Bro! Thanks for the compliments. Really appreciate it .

As for the bolt attachment (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/a...s-1-2-a-35485/), my inspiration came from bobamaker (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/a...utorial-20322/). Since WB Armor is metal, I decided on the JB Weld. I use smaller screws, more of them and cap/acorn nuts. 90-95% of the original screws are still firmly attached to the armor. Several detached when the vest slipped off a hanger and hit the floor from about five feet up. I have tried other adhesives but have come back to the JB Weld. JB Quick to be exact. This is working out nicely, but work time is short. You have to move pretty quickly. Of course, surface prep is very important.

Take care!

Fixed the shoulders!
More trooping.


2011-05-07, Foothill Autism Alliance Spring Picnic & Fun Festival | Facebook

Another troop today. One of the best, if not the best, events all year for the So Cal Garrison.
20th Annual Event Honoring Childrens Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Childhood Cancer Survivors and Their Families.
2011-06-05, Celebrate Life with HOPE | Facebook

More photos of...you guessed it, ME!

Aw dude, thanks so much for that. Really appreciate it!

Been doing A LOT of trooping lately, as you already know. Did Friday's SWIC at the Hollywood Bowl, a Cancer Survivors Picnic Saturday, and the CHLA Cancer Survivors Reunion at Paramount Studios on Sunday. Have two of three days at the E3 Show here at the LA Convention Center on Wednesday and Thursday. And on the 11th, I'm "guarding" a 3 foot diameter Millennium Falcon WEDDING CAKE. The wedding and reception is IN the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History!!!

Gotta say, it's gonna really suck if I ever get another "real" job again. Talk to you on facebook soon.

Cheers, Brother!!!

SOUND ADDED TO VEST !!!

Have been using my Aker amp inside of my left belt pouch. But having people talk to my crotch got old.

- I disassembled the amp, removing the speaker and also replaced the original rechargeable battery with a 9V (the thing just wouldn't hold a charge longer than an hour).
- The speaker was then mounted in the vest, directly behind the center diamond plate.
- I added two wires to the 3 wire XLR that currently supplies power to the chest displayed and wrapped in gray gaffer's tape.
- I replaced the 3-pin XLR panel mount and right angle plug with 5-pin versions.

Jet Pack now houses the Amp and it's battery, battery for Chest Display and battery for Beacon. Power for the Chest Display and signal for the speaker is supplied via the XLR cable. I use an IASUS NT3 Throat Mic.

I will be replacing the Aker board with a Honeytone Mini Guitar Amp board. Honeytone is more powerful and has volume, tone and overdrive!

The last two photos are reference photos from TDH Gallery.

Found a few photos from the E3 Expo at the L.A. Convention Center
