So I just received this belt from a nice fella on the PD, which is really awesome, and he was awesome to work with. It is an ESB setup, with all metal boxes and buckle. I know there are a few things that need to be done to it before it can be "accurate". Anyone feel free to correct me on any of the following that I have on my to do list:
1) I know that the red light/bulb/led whatever needs to be replaced with the proper red lamp w/ metal casing. I believe I read a while back that someone had sourced some in the found parts section.
2) I think that the green lights need to be replaced. By this I don't mean the lenses, but the colored LED inside. The way it sits, it casts a hard circular light on the center of the lenses, because it doesn't disperse the light. I am not sure that this is the way it is supposed to look or not. Also it changes the the lens color from a nice sort of emerald green to a sort of bright yellow green. I tried to capture this on one of the pics. This is something I definitely need advice on.
3) lightsaber hook- I have one on my old belt, but I am sure it is not accurate. Sources would help.
4) I am not sure how to mount the electronics for easy access, but keep it accurate at the same time. I am referring to the of and on switches etc.
5) I know Vader's belt sometimes features a silver rivet on one side of the buckle, but I am not sure if it is present in ESB? or the majority of ESB. I have also seen 2 and 4 rivets on his lightsaber hook as well, not really sure which is correct there either.
I am sure I am forgetting to mention something, so someone please correct me. Thanks for any words of wisdom guys
