Would anyone happen to have a picture of how FNG/Chris had the carrying strap attached to his welder that he sold way back? I'm in the final stages of putting mine together and would like a visual on where to put the strap.

Initially I was going to use the same clip system as for SW light sabres, but the detailing on the welder prevented the clip from fitting into the belt part, so I ended up fixing a strap like this:



But having it hanging from a strap means it swings around a lot when you're walking, so I just hold mine in my gas bag now.

Here's a pic of one of Chris' welders that I picked up from AirborneMike here in the PX.



The strap is attached using a sling swivel mount and a hand grenade pin ring (any key ring type thing will work)

Another question, would anyone have the picture, or have a way of going back in time and getting the picture of how Chris suggested modifying the hinge for the view screen?
I think the mod involved a picture frame bracket? I have said bracket but I'd like to see how he did it.

That was a sort of bittersweet flashback wasn't it?

I'd thought Chris's priceless tutorials and pics of his personal armor camo pattern had been lost to us for all time. Now I finally have the definitive photo refs I needed to accurately paint the armor on the 1:6 scale FNG memorial figure project we started several years ago!!! Thanks so much for posting that link, Kevin. You rock big time!

You're welcome gents...

But it does bring back some great memories... in a bittersweet way as said.

We miss you Chris.
