Im no expert though so ask one of the pros that's been here a while

As far as I can tell, patches come to mid front thigh or so and flap goes from waist to just the bottom of your tushy and basically run the width of the roundest part of said tushy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not yet, I still have to pattern the patches which I'll do with some paper and tape before I even cut any leather.

Looks just like the stuff I got except mines the same color on both sides.

Very nice build progress so far!

Took me an hour to read back through this last night. I thoroughly enjoy the techniques you employ Panda!

Crud.. I've got monster paws and huge forearms so I may need to trade in for the 2X Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'spent all day Sunday unfolding most of the armor stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Inquiring minds! What about curious wallets with credits to spare! Jk lol my wallet is as empty as jar jars head at the moment lol

Beautifully done so far! Also a Mando here as well, same name as there also!

He let me know the XLs would be back in stock in three weeks. That was last Tuesday so it might be a couple more weeks.

Saw the leather in your photos on your thread Z, the suede should be highly flexible as in garment weight from what I've been reading everywhere (seasoned scouts can correct me if I'm wrong please).

very nice looking parts Spike! I'm playing with some temporary armor stuffs right now, I'm actually unfolding a new Pepakura that's more accurate than the one that was put out a couple years ago.

Are you built like a brick wall too Chunk? The two nicknames that are floating around for me currently are Popeye because I have 15inch circumference forearms and Mini Hulk- for obvious reasons of strength and not attitude! Lol

Love to see how it looks Zarintyr Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that's comforting! Lol At least I'll still be able to work with the armor that I have my heart set on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got a 52 inch chest and am 5'7" and am 258 pounds and now I am a little sad knowing that the SC armor might be too small for me.

That's good to know! Thanks WV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic! Thanks Chef! I actually ordered the second one just before you messaged. I just hope 4square feet is enough to cover the bits that need to be covered! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or even this one- http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/super-softy-garment-pigskin-suede-split

Does this pigskin suede work for the flap and riding patches? http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/glazed-pigskin-lining-leather All help and quick responses are graciously requested and appreciated.

I must severely be undercharging for my sewing skills! I wouldn't even charge that for the cummerbund and vest combined. Not that I sell either of these things, maybe in a far off future type of way but nothing soon.

I'm interested to see if you make those side templates available so that other people can mod these pep helmets just like you're doing.

You sure you're not big foot disguised as a Scout?
