  1. Yours look nice! Mine were really rough but I was able to restore most of the color with some Fiebings.
  2. Ha yeah the struggle is real!
  3. Shoot him a PM http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showuser=78390 I should also note that I have a big dome myself and the RS Props lid fits great. I had a KS before and that was also a good fit
  4. I don't have his info and not sure if he's even in the business anymore, but there are a whole crop of new helmets out there since LW was in his hey day. RS Props makes one which is a direct descendant from a screen used, Strider's helmet is fantastic, Spike's lid is known for big-dome friendliness. So you got options!
  5. Welcome!

  7. The bund stays white. Its only the pouches you need to worry about Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
  8. Here's me (on the left) all kitted up in my Strider gear, other than the holster which is still SC. This is a pretty good comparison photo too. The Scout on the right is wearing an MLC bucket and SC armor, so you can see the differences between my RS Props bucket and Strider armor Also, we are both 6 ft tall, and this pic serves as a good example that 7x6 pouches are too big. Mine are 6x5x2
  9. Griffin beat me to it The 1.5 webbing is a pain for sure! Sometimes it's easier to find the off white stuff. Which is a totally good option if you plan on tea-staining your pouches to match.
  10. I guess the Scout gloves are called Rain Gauntlets!
  11. I don't think the issue is the length of the butt flap. Looks more like the thigh elastic may be an inch or so too high. But hard to tell without the armor on
  12. What can't you find?
  13. In the movie, the pouches are sewn to the cummerbund. There is a 2 inch connection flap that is sewn down, starting at the top of the bund. You can see how it's connected pretty well here I velcro my pouches to my bund so it's easier to remove them for washing
  14. It's not specified because we wanted to allow some flexibility for different sized Scouts. An inch seems the norm
  15. A few things in this thread don't apply anymore, but it's still a great primer on SC armor builds http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781
  16. How old is your son? If he's a kid, then reach out to Walt's Trooper Factory https://www.facebook.com/groups/waltstrooperfactory/ If he's an adult then read up in the forums and determine the best one for him. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showforum=143
  17. and waiting..... and waiting..... and waiting.....
  18. CRL requirements for the DLT-19 can be found here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper Sorry, don't have an answer for the first question
  19. Yeah I agree with all that. The cod is pulling down on the bund and that's causing some of the issue. Also the pouches have little to no attachment flap, whereas the ones from the film had about 2 inches. So it's going to be hard for you to get your bund under the armor at the top. It would help to make the codpiece separate from the bund that either attaches to your flight suit or to your vest. Look at these pics for some guidance In this one you can see that the pouch attachment tab is long enough so that the pouch hangs about 2 inches from the top of the bund. You can also see that the bund itself is not that long. Between 8 and 9 inches so that it fits the way Chef described above. And this pic can give you an idea of size and positioning. 6x5x2 is what we shoot for While you're on that pic, get a look at the codpiece. Not at all like the thong-like cod you were given. I'd forward these back to your soft goods maker and tell them to update their patterns. My setup is like this: The cod is sewn to the bottom of the vest and then the 2 inch strap is attached to the back of the vest. I made the strap adjustable so it wouldn't be too tight and cause the dreaded C.T. My pouch and bund set up is like this.
  20. Hard to tell without the armor and other things on, but it looks pretty good to me. These links might help give you some guidance: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5bU7TNBGsXOaXU5QmtlZG96b1U/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5bU7TNBGsXOekVkamk2VG5temc/view Overall, I think you are doing a fine job! Keep it up
  21. Looks pretty good to me! Belt could be pulled up a bit and your dropboxes are hanging just a tad low for my tastes, but nothing that would hold you up from approval Nice job
  22. Yup. That's when we all do it. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
  23. Nice looking Scout! Easy pass for basic. Nice sizing on the pouches and great placement of the belt -- right on your waist where it belongs! Just what Chef said. If you can, loosen up that cod strap so it's not pulling so hard between your legs.
  24. That's great! I just made the update
