LOL this was just a test fitting before purchase See the previous post above to see submission pics, knee armour included

My bucket is a modified Rubies, and I used that PDF as a guide to modify it. My build thread with details is here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=11767&st=0 I would agree, the helmet is still too flared out and needs to be made more narrow.

I found making my own custom fit set of coveralls easier than trying to tailor men's coveralls, there was just too many fitting issues for my liking. I'd like to make a set of top and pants as well for the reasons M.J mentions above. One solution to keeping the top tucked in is to attach a bikini-type bottom that has snaps at the crotch.

The initial feedback upon first submission for approval was that my pouches were on reversed (whoops!), the forearm armour needs to be on top of the gloves, and there shouldn't be a gap between the cummerbund and the belt in the back. Fixed, resubmitted and approved! I love wearing this suit!! I have wanted a TB for ages and have so much fun wearing this, it`ll probably be my go-to for troops for a while

OMG I have pic envy...

Just use lots of pins, make sure you try it on and confirm the placement before you sew, and don't go too fast through the sewing machine.

... heh, merkin... heh...

I know all about the challenges of a rubies helmet mod first hand. Just finished working on mine a couple of weeks ago. Thus, the kudos callout

That helmet is lookin' saweet!

So finally, here is everything all together, ready for approval I hope .... except I've got my pouches on reversed LOL! I'll definitely have to fix that for my approval pics

Here's a few more pics of the helmet now that paint and decals are done: Modifying this Don Post helmet has been quite the learning experience, that's for sure!

Looking good Mike

For the flightsuit, you might want to consider a two-piece instead of a one-piece, since she is a growing little girl who might need to hit the ladies room a few times during an event A black turtleneck/mockneck shirt and black leggings might be easiest.

Really loving this idea, as I've been concerned the vinyl will rip eventually because of the weight of the pistol in the holster.

So, remember this? Well, I managed to change it into this.
