HAHAHA

It's difficult to totally nail this down with a measurement of the boots width at the middle of the spat an dthen the length of the spat at the widest and then the height at the tallest point. The front part that you can't see looks similar to the back but it's thinner.

Can I see a shot of the other side of the spat?

I could probably repurpose the Patrol heel file I have into a spat. Does it have that clip on it too? The clip is easy to make.

Which part?

I did a rough measurement on myself and you can see those measurements in the pic below. It's also not a perfect rectangle. the bottom is longer than the top and comes forward a tiny bit more. there's also an amount of space to fit under the belt (this will be adjustable). I am a bit thin and tall though with a 32 waist but obviously we're going for a standard size so it may need to be just slightly wider.

2 layers of Duck Cloth (front and back), 2 layers of batting (behind the duck cloth), and a layer of craft foam sandwiched between.

I'm gonna try to mock up the fabric style this afternoon, let me see what I can come up with.

Test Fit, normal and captain variant. Still need to paint the Tank Topper, Chest rectangle, tank stripes and rank bars. Also need to replace arm tubes, they ended up being a couple of inches too short. New boots are still a work in progress. I'm not sure these would pass CRL standards either. Damn this thing is warm with the extra neck seal, it just traps all the heat. Thanks again to @The Wayner for his harness and parts and painting contributions. He did bunch of work on this that I would have gotten pretty tired doing.

I'll need some company. Any Scout's a good Scout

Bund, Cox, and Neck Seal done. Most of the new armor is trimmed, hope to get the rest done tomorrow and start getting the strapping done.

Yes, Do3d files can be real hit or miss. At this point I've rebuilt all the Patrol files except for one small section on the chest piece. It's really just a matter of time and the ability to go work on this with someone else. Plans are still in motion. Once I get the Chest worked out I'll post the files here. It's pretty high up on my list of things to do but the JFO Scout and Mountain Trooper are taking my main focus right now.

3D Printable Shin & Knee (please do not distribute). These are symmetrical so they'll work for both legs. MT-Shin MT-Knee

If everyone is ok with this I'll upload the files and ya'll can print to get the sizing right.

Keep in mind that I have to bring the knee down a bit so that we have something to attach the knee and shin together so there isn't going to be the gap like there is on the toy.

Not sure what you mean.

Makes sense. I'll adjust.

Shin and Knee. Thoughts?

I'm not sure anyone will feel better until we can see what our options look like in the real world. Mockups should be made and then we can discuss more.

Grey pouches? hmmm... I get your point though.

Agreed. I think with such limited detail on this costume it helps to have comparisons with parts that we're all not confident in how it was constructed. Ultimately we're trying to show how good we are at translating something into the real world not just getting it out the door quickly. There will always be time to refine later but best foot forward if possible now.

While I agree with fabric, I think their concern is that the "grooves" are a bit wide and would take a tight double stitched line to make them seem like a "canyon" instead of just a simple sewing line. It's not impossible just not a normal technique that most people know how to do.

The deer leather and casts are holding up well on @MrsPoopie boots. I still haven't gotten around to finishing my boots but that's the plan for this weekend. I still have to make one more sole and then the leather work. I need to find a new backer for the leather, probably some vinyl.
