Hey Biker and Bikerella´s
yesterday I started with my new project. My wife´s Snow Scout is finished and approved, so I have time to start with a Biker Scout for myself. After a photo shooting and several great discussions with my mates of the "Wolfpack" I decided to build a Scout too.
With the support of my friends I try to reach the Lancer level near future
thx in advance to my buddies of the "Wolfpack" for their suppor.
And here we go, already strated with the flight suit. For the base I use a Helly Hansen workwear coverall I will modify.
First step, removing all visible pockets, snaps....
It tooks me an hour to remove the stitchery on the left arm But now it is gone and I am happy with that.
Next step, was to add the mandarin collar to the suit. Therefor I used on of the removed pockets.
Now I have to wait until the black leather for the patches and the mudflap will arrive. Also waoting on the 2" black elastic and the remaining strapping material.
At the moment I am having a cold and could not go out in the gym. So I used yesterday evening to start with the Kummerbund. But I think I will make a nother one in a lighter white. After sewing I compared it to a friends Kummerbund and mine is more a offwhite than a pure white.
What do you think? Making another one or ok?
Add some padding to the "sleeve" before I close it.
I made 6 stitching lines as mentioned in the CRL´s
Today I planned to work on the Codpiece and maybe I will go to our local farbic store to get another white fabric for the Kummerbund.
stay tuned
Cheers
Chris
