10 years? Holy crap! Married for that many or together? My wife and I have been together for almost 11 years, married for 5. Looking forward to your Boba results.

Actually, my wife and I just celebrated our 10th anniversary as well this past June. 10 years married, 14 years together.

We've been together for 12. I really don't know where the time goes. Damn that reminds me that I turn 40 in October.

Whoops I edited and messed up the fabrics of time and space.

Collecting makes time fly as well. It sure doesn't seem like it's been a whole year since seeing the first glimpse of SS's ESB Boba - and now here he is already.

Well, I just did the mod. I cut the back clear plastic around the screws off behind the belly chest plate. I used a hair dryer to heat up belly chest plate and bent it into place. Pretty simple and it works great!!

As others mentioned, its like the Stormtooper chest armor mod we did a couple years back.

Thanks for all the tips guys!!

Did you just trim a little of the backing, Chris, or did you just about take the whole thing off?

Hey Rich, I took the whole thing off. I just left a little plastic around each screw/rivot.

Any pics??

Here's my pic. I cut it all off, just leaving some around the rivets. I find it's also eliminated the concave look I was noticing with the chest armour pieces. Anyway, here's my handy work. View attachment 48746

I don't know if I'll go that far. I might just make sure that the individual armor pieces are also separate on the plastic backing rather than separating each rivet.

do you think the the height of the rivets affects the fit of the vest at all? i was wondering if after removing the plastic as you did and grinding them down more and re-melting them to sit lower would be worth trying?
