  1. I'm out of town right now and can't get a picture of how my pouchs look. Maybe someone will pop in with the answer. I took mine apart and redone them. I would have to have it in front of me to tell you how to do it.
  2. I know most of the time once suede gets wet it's starts to turn a funky yellow.
  3. The suede will turn yellow. I just wash mine in rubbermade container by hand with color safe detergent. Then I take it out side to the hose and wash it out.
  4. Yup the red kaps are baggy in the legs so they can be worn over you clothing. Your off to a fine start with your accessories. I look forward to seeing your build. Any questions just ask away don't hesitate to do so. That's why we're here.
  5. To answer your above question the screen used boots didnt have the strip all the way around. If you get the vinly cut nice and even it'll set right on top of the sole at the back hiding the top of the sole. Also your good on the color of the sole it's one color and very close to the screen used boots sole color. Also those boots look sharp with the sole notched out like the screen used ones.
  6. I sold my mlcv3 CB and went with Alt. I'm going for another 5 piecer here soon.
  7. Just move along as mentioned. After you get 5 post you'll have access to the trade section of the forum. There you'll find what you looking for.
  8. There's a tutorial around here for that DP. I don't know where's it's at as of now. They turn out looking great.
  9. Water and a little soap in a spray bottle along with something to smooth the tint out and get the air bubbles out. The easiest thing to do is just get a green lens. I think DVH had some for sale a while back.
  10. You can but, it's gonna be a pain in the a#$! The poly blendis gonna be hard to dye. It's gonna require some very hot water and washing machine. Still the poly blend stuff is a headache and not really worth it when a pair of black coveralls can be picked up for less than $30.
  11. The tooth paste and peroxide is more less retrobrit. Also there's wet sanding. I had to wet sand my TS bucket and then polish it came out great. Then I turned around and weathered it. If you take the faster wet sanding pass just make sure you get at least 2000 grit and lightly lightly start sanding.
  12. Does she have a SC armor? If so that's typcial. Most people have to trim a bit off the bottom and round the edges.
  13. No. But the elastic needs to stay the same size and color as the cotton you use.
  14. I like that shape! Way more accurate looking than mine.
  15. I was told yesterday that the new run starts in about a month.
  16. Looking good. You need to flip the square greeblie on the TD to where it's pointing up. Also your dog bones on your boots are up side down. The curve goes down. You might wanna try and tighten the vinly up on the boots. Just small stuff nothing killer. Cod piece seems to be bunching up a bit.
  17. So I'm good for now....till I can get my hands on another 5 piece. I have two of em but they belong to my kids. They were fun and a good challenge to get together.
  18. I was thinking the other day about what's to come for Lancer spec in the way of the helmets. MLC face is missing a lot of detail Altmanns is soft with a ridge at the dome same thing for KS and SC. I've tried the last 2 years to get my hands on a LW and then go for Lancer,but now I'm just waiting on a fitted suit. Chef when you say "yet" how long does that mean?
  19. I'm gonna swap the decals out with TB's. Thanks for the info folks.
  20. The dome and back are like a SC.
  21. That's my question. I'm having a new flight suit made and having to go back and tighten my vest and other things up. So before I submit my Lancer request is there anything stopping me from getting Lancer approval with it. Here's some pictures. I need info before I sell my other MLCv3. I've replaced the snout wth a DVH and add 3m bolts also opened the ears holes up.
  22. The pockets my cause a issue. Depends on the gml. Looking good.
  23. There's not a lot of good reference grabs around. I think there's some pretty good ones in the gallery here on the forum.
  24. That's all I need to make lancer is real suede. I have a super nice suit now just doesn't have real suede. Then I can get specialist with my shadow Scout ") as well!!
  25. Are you gonna be doing lancer spec flight suits?
