This is the one I bought some years ago: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-MR77-Swivel-Head-Riveter/dp/B00413959E/ref=sr_1_1?crid=F70QEUZFAHMP&keywords=Stanley%2BMR77C%2BSwivel%2BHead%2BRiveter&qid=1691854717&sprefix=stanley%2Bmr77c%2Bswivel%2Bhead%2Briveter%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1&th=1

Yep, agreed. That is essentially the TL:DR summary of the post that Dennis linked to.

That's basically what I did with my drop boxes. Takes a bit more work to rig up, as opposed to the twist method, but the outward end result is the same.

Your lines are in the ballpark. The trickiest part when cutting the tank is making it so that the cuts fit against the "bump" at the base of the back armor. What I would start with, is a cut like this. Then, once you're able to better seat the tank on the back armor, mark and trim out the "cuts" that allow the tank to fit over the "bump" at the base of the back armor.

Congrats Frank!

What was on screen is a different design than what was originally asked about in the OP.

Do you have a photo?

The t-bits are black. Have you looked at the holster section of the scout build video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnipWxolqdU&t=2681s Also you might want to look at the photos from Wide's build thread, here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23660-first-build-rotj-bikerscout/page/3/#comment-227112 Check the post from 23 July 2023.

Thank you for your application. The team will review and get back to you.

Should be okay for basic at minimum.

Check this thread that Mickey posted earlier:

The suede patches look fine, though it will depend on how it looks with you wearing it. Are you planning on adding the thigh straps later?

As per the CRL, a one or two-piece suit is allowed at both Level 1 and 2. "The undersuit is a one or two-piece black textile suit"

This is a very old thread, but there's an image in it that might give you a general sense of the shape. Note that the bottom of the patch should not be flat like they have in the template, it should taper and be more rounded at the bottom.

Have you looked at this thread yet? http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/19259-undersuit-mods/

I think you're in the ballpark. You can probably trim them with what you've marked and always tweak them more as necessary once you've removed the bulk.

The Red Kap zipper should be dual ended, so for "number 1" you can move the cod over and use the bottom end of the front-side zipper. For "number 2" you'll need to take some of your armor and soft goods off.

Okay, so it's a spot that wouldn't be visible normally? Hard to evaluate without a visual, so I'm just providing some options. Is it possible to get a larger diameter rivet? Otherwise, take some scrap ABS or use a piece of those plastic signs you can get at the hardware store and glue a plate behind the larger hole, then you can re-drill. Or, you can get a set of the 3M bolts and rig them to fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BUMS8Y/?coliid=ILTCA2MHBZT97&colid=1FW2Z38AXTS5Q&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Where is the oversized hole located?

This thread has a good technique to use. It's not the only way, but it is one way to do it. That technique uses oil pants, which is an option. I've also seen it done using acrylic paints as well.

Oui, la taille de la décalcomanie devrait être fixée pour l'approbation de la 501e légion. Je vous suggère également de contacter votre GML de la garnison française pour avoir son avis. https://www.501st.com/members/garrisonroster.php?garrisonId=44

No, you do not have to wear it like the captured rebel. As long as no logos are visible, then you should be fine.

I'm using google translate for this, so apologies if anything gets garbled in translation. Le pistolet a l'air bien, mais vous voudrez peut-être poncer davantage certaines des lignes d'impression. Quel design as-tu utilisé pour le casque ? L'autocollant sur le côté gauche de la visière du casque semble trop grand. Comparez-le à la photo ci-dessous.

I can't comment on the boots or the back, since they're not in the photo, but from what I can see, I think your current setup should be good for basic clearance. You might want to pull the front of your belt up a bit and also bring your cod up maybe an inch or two. Everything else I can see looks good.

That's correct. From what we've seen there is no perfect 3D scout helmet model. All seem to have some level of inaccuracies. A lot of folks have used the Jesus Salomon 3D helmet, but even that one, while totally approvable, is not completely accurate either. @MrPoopie might have additional feedback.
