Being in Aaron's garrison, and seeing his progress from "hey this might be cool" to where he is is really awesome. You, sir, did a phenomenal job on this. Really happy for ya, congrats! Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Awesome job so far! Keep it up! Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

That site is run by a member of the New England Garrison. The boots he makes a really nice (I rock a pair, as do a good number of the scouts in our Garrison.) Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Studio Creations is indeed legit armor, a lot of Scouts run that (including myself.) It's nice armor, at a reasonable price with a minimum amount of time required to get finished. And it comes in quickly. So, yes, they are reputable. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Like has been said, it's Steve Robbins, he made my boots and does a phenomenal job. They are well made and look really sharp. He is pretty much the main boot supplier for my Garrison. So, in my eyes he's as reliable as they come and really good. If you need pics of my boots, let me know. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I do the same order as Chunk. For my cummerbund, I have the crotch permanently sewn in, so I effectively step into it. We use velcro and bra hooks to keep the bund on (meaning, if the velcro fails, the bra hooks work as backup.) I have elastic sewn to the bund that I put over my shoulders, which are then hidden by the vest. The challenges for me are to get the bund and vest on, I always need help, and my shoulders are a pain. Takes about 10 minutes for me to suit up, less if my wife is helping.

I tried glue. It failed. It failed hard. Maybe E6000 will work better, but I found glue with soft bits is not always the best idea. Never underestimate the power of how sweaty you become. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I'm 5'7" and I have a SC kit. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

http://www.wampawear.com/biker-scout-gloves/ That's where I got them, from Wampa Wear. They are a bit snug at first, so if you can overshoot the size a bit, but they are really comfy and look great. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Mine is also lined with batting. Like has been said, making it snug helps, as does not overdoing it. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I really loved the SC kit, we did not have to do pretty anything to get it ready. It came in super quick, like in 2 weeks, and really we rocked and rolled on it. I know that they are not the absolute most accurate, but for speed of delivery and cost, I think they are hard to beat. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I know I have failed at keeping this updated. Been working hard at getting this done (well, my wife worked hard, I did a lot of trips to the craft stores and the like.) But what we did not fail at was getting my butt approved. TB-21611 reporting for duty!

Move along... Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Yeah, mine are a little snug, but I got tiny hands so going up a size would suck. However, they are a lot more comfy that I thought they would be. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

BIG Update! So, I got a box in today. That's just some of the stuff. We got working on it, starting with the back tank and the thermal detonator. Here's the back tank as it is curing (with a bonus of my wife's Joker cosplay for NYCC in the background.) Oh, and I got Gloves too. So, yeah. Now, to make the things. Weee.

I went with a Hyperfirm, the price was good for me. On the plus side, my armor shipped today, and my flight suit shipped yesterday. So, I am omw towards hitting all of the trees. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

Nothing is started yet, just waiting for a bunch of stuff to come in. My Red Kap flight suit should be in on Monday, my armor in the next few days, and I am unsure when my gloves and blaster will make it in. And for the rest of the soft parts, everything is bought, just need my wife to have some quality time with the sewing machine. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

After I got home today, I decided it was time for me to grow up from wrangling and get into actual trooping. So, in 6 weeks (hopefully) I will have a box full of Biker Scout armor all ready for me from SC. Until then, we need to get the soft bits (thank God I have a crafty wife.) I plan on updating this thread as the build goes on. Right now, we got a whole lot of nothing started, though we have the stuff to make the vest. So that will be the first thing, along with getting the stuff for the boots all set. Now, if I can learn how to avoid trees...

Yeah, I planned on getting everything from them, I figured it was the best for both consistency and so that I get everything in at the same time. Don't want to be a bucketless scout.

Heya... Gonna be starting my Biker Scout soon, just waiting for my wife to finish up her Jawa (since she is my seamstress.) Got a couple questions... First, was going get a kit from SC. From what I can see, they are pretty good. Any experiences with them that I should be aware of? Second, on the soft bits, anyone have good patterns for us to use? Gonna need the cummerbund, pouches, and vest by the looks of things. We got a dude in my garrison that makes Scout boots, so I will be going through him for those. Thanks!
