The bund goes about an inch under the chest armor and stops right around the belt area That strap we refer to as the cod strap and you are right it is waaaaaaaaaaaay too short. Unless you've been gelded that's gonna be super uncomfortable. I don't really sew either but I've replaced codpiece straps before and it's pretty simple to just go in a straight line on the machine. I'd trust that more than glue The suit needs: the butt pockets removed, a mandarin collar made (use the fabric from the removed pockets), a suede butt flap sewn to the back, riding patches sewn to the inner thighs and elastic thigh straps looping around the outside of the leg and connecting to the riding patches. I don't have a pic handy but there are several exampled in the Biker Scout Soft Goods forum http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showforum=145&st=0

The RS would be fine for you at that height. Pretty much any bucket would.

Yeah definitely separate out the whites like you would do with any of your laundry. I do wash my suit in the washer but I turn it inside out first. Then i hang it to dry My whites and vest I put in a mesh laundry bag before dropping in the wash. That tends to keep the Velcro from grabbing onto everything. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

We don't have a pattern for it floating around although there are several propmakers who make them. Check our Vendor list for some names The advice I can give is the same for any costume. It just has to look correct from the outside. So how it is put together doesn't matter if the armor covers up the rough bits!

You don't need to remove the chest pockets. No one can see them anyway. You may want to just to use that fabric to make the mandarin collar. But the rear pockets can be used for that too. I left the side pockets as well because they get hidden by the belt and dropboxes. Besides, where else would i put my keys? The tool pocket I removed in the same manner Corey did.

Welcome to the Forum! You've come to the right place. Pete is one of our resident Rebels Scout experts so he is your go-to on that!

The problem with the vest is its probably the piece we know the least about. It wasnt even made a part of the CRL until after the Blu Ray came out and could be clearly seen. So what we do know is just the bits we can see poking out. We can guess the width of the neckline based on screenshots of the back of the Scout in some scenes. But you never see any of it from the front so we assume it is cut low enough to go below the top of the chest armor. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

It is sewn to the vest!

This is my vest/cod setup

Altmanns is one of the bigger helmets, I think you'll be fine there. Most of us just use an Aker speaker system, since Scouts did not have static burst.

Submit for basic approval already!

You can always remove the stitches and just sew new ones!

If you want to be correct, follow the current CRL. I believe the change was made a few years ago based on new evidence. For awhile, it was optional, but it was changed to 5 raised ribs.

The webbing that closes the belt in the back is synthetic. The cotton webbing is for the dropboxes and chest armor straps and that's 1.5 inches.

You might want to try searching for polypro webbing and see if it's easier to get. It's a bit cheaper than nylon and not as heavy.

I can't wait to see this. I haven't done mine yet!

Done! thanks for letting me know

Don't worry, we got you on the list, man http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=19003

You don't have to! http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=19048

Well it's a bucket, I'll say that much. The snout and decals would have to be replaced. The bolts are the wrong color. There are no pictures of the inside so I have no idea what's going on in there. You could fix it up for basic approval. I mean after all, people have done wonders with Don Post and Rubies. It's hard to say without having one in my hands, but this is not a tried and true provider of props so I would steer clear. There are other more reputable makers to get items from.

I'm just now seeing their stuff. But their Scout helmet looks just like a MLC to me. And it's made of fiberglass. Maybe they are importing lids from Mardon? I think you have better options but it looks fine for basic approval

Awesome, thanks buddy! I will make the change soon

Thanks! If I can find a model wearing all Chef I will replace the image. But the armor is the important thing
