I've been waiting for this since I saw the TK set. Very interested to say the least!

I didn't make my suit personally. But they sewed Velcro to the flap and suit and that is how they attach to each other. Do you really need the suit and flap to be separate? Probably not... I just know velcro'd flap is a viable option. So is sewing the flap to the suit. Maybe even snaps... Duct tape won't last and bubblegum and spit is right out...

My mud flaps are velcro'd, 1/2" I believe. You'd have to deliberately pull up on the velcro for it to fail. They aren't going to accidentally go anywhere.

Can't answer SC vs KS, but I have a 22" head and it's a snug fit with 2 fans, batteries, wireless unit, but you should be ok depending on the size of your equipment. I put my speaker behind my chest armor along with he other half of the wireless unit. Not sure how big your speaker is but there is space to put stuff in the "hump" of the helmet that sits behind your neck. Not a whole lot can fit in front of your face (my face at least) your milage may vary.

Looking good bud!

I was able to get approved last week and just finished my first troop today! What a great way to end a month. Thanks to all for your critique and especially to Pandatrooper for his excellent SC build tutorial. It made things super easy. I won't be able to make it to C7 but will hopefully make it out to the next one and meet more of my fellow Pathfinder brothers.

Thanks bud, I'll have to fiddle with the pouches and velcro placement and see if I can square them up better. As for the chest armor gap, that's as close as I can get without sacrificing freedom of movement. It's tight enough as it is. You can see the gap better in my action shot. It could be just that side too, that's the side I use to don and doff my chest armor and putting the velcro in place is a pain...

Not sure about the bottom little chevron. There is a snap at that point so maybe to keep it stable? Marcel made it so might be able to clarify.

Thanks!

Alright everyone, I finally recieved my soft parts and put the finishing touches on my armor! Let me know if I need to make any changes. And just for fun here is me with my motorcycle helmet on. And yes I went straight out for a little spin after taking the pic. It was a chore putting everything on myself so I didn't want to take off everything yet. Edit: oops possted the wrong pic for motorcycle helmet.

If I was cheeky and had enough funds and skill/equipment I would make my own mirror flipped "evil twin'" scout and justify it with that scene... But I digress... I'm with Chef on this one. I know there are theories that the cod was backed with support to keep it's shape, but if I was consulted on the design of the costume from a stuntman's point of view, I know I would be totally adamant about not having my family jewels constantly at odds with the butt floss elastic. I say there is an attachment point at the bottom of the cod for comfort purposes and the various levels of "tent pitching" were due to height differences in relation to the size of the suit or attachment point(s).

Found this 3D printed blaster topic below. http://forum.bikersc...showtopic=12130 It's a link to 3D printed blaster from last year with a link to another topic with measurements with a link to to another topic with a link to a PDF blue print of the blaster with measurements. Possibly the same one used to make the 3D file. A bit roundabout but you'll get some extra reading material in about other attempts. I honestly think either this post or the post from link above should be pinned. There is a good amount of helpful resources to those attempting a 3D printed blaster or need a blue print to work a sculpt of their own packed into them.

I just held my DVH blaster in my hand just like the pic. Looks about right. What might be throwing off your eye between the two pics is that you can fit more fingers in the hand guard without the gloves. I can fit 4 of my fingers in the handguard, but 3 at the most with the gloves on. I really want a 3D printer now...

Congrats! Hopefully I'll be right behind you in a few weeks.

Sweet! Hopefully that means my stuff will be here within the next week.
