Depending on the part your wanting to strengthen will require a different technique to strengthen or reinforce. If you’re looking at a basic level then just spare parts of whatever your kit is made of and two part epoxy. Place strips over the seams to build up an extra layer of thickness and apply the epoxy.

Hey guys, Having a nightmare at the moment. Cant seem to work out how to attach the thigh boxes to the rear of my belt. Can you guys please provide some pictures with some explanation? Thanks

I can vouch for Spikes Altmann Helmets. Mine arrived not long back and it’s amazing quality. I have a slightly larger size head and it fits me comfortably.

Hey guys, How do you guys attach your pouches? I’m torn between: 1. Permanently attaching to the cummerbund. 2. Permanently attach to the chest Armour. 3. Just Velcro to the chest Armour. 4. Just Velcro to the cummerbund. Any advice / guidance would be greatly appreciated, and if possible could you provide pictures. Thanks.

Thanks Chopper, I know what you mean now.

Could you please provide pics or a link as to what you mean as I can’t picture them.

Really impressed, great seeing Scouts talents at making every aspect of this costume. Just goes to show our strive for perfection and screen accuracy.

I’m just lookin at different ways of mounting the TD onto my belt. Ideas so far: Magnets Snaps Hooks Also for affixing my pouches to both armour and cummerbund.

Hey guys, Now I know a lot of you use snaps etc but can you tell me where you get them from? Found some here in the UK but they seem really crappy and don’t really snap good and requires a lot of effort to snap them together. Thanks

Do whatever you can afford to do! Advice for washing though, place in a pillowcase and seal with elastic band prior to washing! 15yrs of wearing and washing military flight suits so know a few tricks lol, also only wash on a 30 degree setting as it will preserve badges and stitching etc.

Hey Chopper, With regards to the trading, what are you expecting trade wise? Unfortunately I have no Star Wars related patches but I do have an obundance of military patches from my 15yrs in the Air Force. Would this be of interest?

I’d go half a length further down the leg. Please see pics below that show a bit better.

Think I have thanks. Contacted Chef who’s the UKG armourer and he’s going to be looking over my pictures today.

Thanks for the feedback guys, glad it’s just small tweaks needed. I suppose we’ve all been there but was nervous I’d got it all wrong and was going to have to start over. Can someone please advise how to get cleared, getting slightly confused?

Well I’ve finally finished my Scout. Can you guys cast your eyes over it and give feedback?
