You should be good to go now!! Good Luck.

Right you are. No stripes on holster.

I think you got most of it already. A couple things I noticed is: the black strap right above the thermal detonator. Is that the elastic from the cumberbund? That should go on the inside and shouldnt be showing. Other thing is the front/rear armor connection. It looks as if the is a space between them. It should be connected then wrapped with the cotton webbing. It looks like the armor is showing too much black right now and will be fixed once you do that.

What were you using to cut the soles? Dremel? Exacto knife? Your lines look good now.

I like the shiny look myself even though I have a light weathing. It is just your preference.

The stuff from ebay IS a member on here or associate, but I will not call him out on the forum. Just know that there are problems with shipping at this time and it will be months before you get it. He is also suspended here so I would go with another trusted member if it were me.

I also dont see your bicep armor.

All of the above statements and also the snout could be replaced with a more accurate one (yours looks like a sticker, but couldnt tell from the pic), try twisting the straps before going into the thigh boxes and when coming out so they lay flat, 3m elevator bolts for the helmet (yours look too rounded), you might try suspenders or velcro like others stated to keep the bund up or even attaching the pouches to the underside of the armor to prevent them from pulling the bund down.

Same here. The headband would never fit good in the KS either. Ended up using the military pads.

Affirmative. That is a good plan.

Stay away from the KS armor. Shoulders are not accurate, TD is wonky, and belt boxes are enormous. Ask me how I know. I had to end up spending more money to get the correct parts from SC to make it look good. SC is quick turnaround and looks great. As for the KS helmet. I likes it

NewImage is an idea. I sold one because it was a little too big on my frame. I liked it, but ended up keeping my KS in the end.

That's good. I know it would suck to have to repaint it again after you just got it back from the shop.

Yeah, dont think our GML will let that seam pass in GA.

Wow. You did an awesome job on the suit. I might try to get a Redkap suit and try it out now too. You made it look easy.

You should have told her to call the police. That way they would have taken her to jail. Either for stupidness (not a real word, but funny) or opening your mail.

Its just a sticker. The little black greeblie is attached on top of the sticker, so just take off the sticker and good to go. I ordered a snout greeblie from Darth Voorhees and received it fast. Then, I painted it and also painted in the black area on the helmet, and looks way better than that crappy sticker they supply from KS.

That's good to know. I didn't know it comes in white now. I have black and clear E6000, but I'll have to pick up some white for any future Scout repairs/maintenance.

Trooperbay has 'em too. You can get the tank lines and rank bars if you need both, or you can get the pinstripe from auto zone or advance auto and do it yourself and save a few bucks.

I have mine lightly weathered. I would prefer the clean look, but I bought my helmet already weathered, so I followed suit with the armor. Remember that "less is more".

I bought one too, but got tired of dressing and undressing it, so now he is just standing naked in a corner.

You told her you wanted a man....nequin fo your birthday? 😜

It is hidden under all the gear, but it is just bothering me, so I want to fix it. It happened at my last troop, but I dont know exactly how or why it failed to lock the threads in place. I had to fix up my armor yesterday with some velcro on the biceps to keep them from falling and noticed the zipper problem again. Im gonna try playing around with it, before taking it to the seamstress for the industrial zipper. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a CB flightsuit and the zipper is not zipping up anymore. It is moving up and down fine, it is just not attaching. Ive only had it for about six months now and wondering if it can be fixed? Would I need to have someone put a new zipper on it? Maybe I can just get a Red Kap and use this one for the suede patches, elastic, and collar. What do you guys think my best course of action is?
