Chef has good stuff and fantastic customer service. It takes awhile but he always follows through.

I get how it can be frustrating sometimes but please hang in there! I would recommend checking your Garrison forums to see if there are any armor parties going on. If not that's ok. Check and see with the MSG if they have any ROTJ scouts local that can help. The best thing to do at the moment would be to set the helmet aside and work on your soft goods and remaining armor. Take a breath brother🙂

Looks like you're making great progress Dom. Remember that if you're using off-white pouches on your cummerbund that your side and drop box straps will need to be off-white as well. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to continue to see your progress.

Aradun is right on with his advice. If you keep to the lvl2 text in the CRL you won't go wrong. Keep those great questions coming!

Congrats Ranger!

Bienvenue dans le Pathfinders Cryil !

Aradun has given you some good advice. I use a hard hat liner but will probably be changing that up in the coming year as I'm prone to migraines and the liner starts to "squeeze" a bit during long troops. Always go for comfort trooper!

You did just fine. There's always an opportunity to learn a new skill if you desire to and we have plenty of folks that are always willing to help. We're here to help you be successful so keep up the great work and reach out should you need us.

That's looking just fine. Less is more when it comes to weathering. You can always touch it up if you need but it's a pain to remove if it's overwhelming. Good work!

It's worth it. Keep it up and make sure you're taking breaks and getting a breath. It'll happen before you know it!

Both @Aradun and @M.J are amazingly talented folks with a sewing machine. Please feel free to post up some photos so they can give you some guidance. In the mean time please know that most of us have walked where you are now and the great folks from this detachment always stepped up and helped so fret not!

We're always available to help Diego so if you need anything don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you be successful!

Congrats Tarok! Great work!

Congrats 41st Elite! Very fine work!

Congrats Pathfinder!

No worries Bill we all do that. @Chopper is a top shelf trooper and an absolute expert with this armor. You couldn't be in better hands!

Reach out to @MrPoopie for the file.

Congrats Pathfinder!!

Well done Lancer!

That'll work but you have to go easy or you'll melt the vinyl.

I've never had Chef not deliver so if he says he's insanely busy you can trust that. He'll come through for you.

Maybe we could post it in the 501st Scout GML thread to make it available to a wider range of GMLs? I know that GMLs just like everyone else typically has their own costume preference and expertise and would maybe not be here. We might be able to get a wider audience.

I think you'll be fine and building it with an experienced member will give that much more confidence. I have a 7CS as a back up to my Altmann's so yeah I know those are pretty beefy 😁. Take your time and move slow. Remember that it's harder to add material than to take it away.

You're making excellent progress. If you need any help trimming or building your lid let us know.

Congrats Lancer! Well done Kris! Thankful for all you do for the det!
