Canterbury Tail

I have SC armour and Altman helmet. Not painted either of them, just straight plastic and had zero approval or trooping issues.

They seem to be the same base outfit. Minus the pouches and plus a harness webbing with a cylindrical pod attached to it. Add some wiring to the melee weapon (which makes me assume the backpack is a power generator and the melee weapon. Everything else appears to be the same except perhaps the gloves. Oh and look how long that strap is to the thigh boxes at the back

They seem to be the same base outfit. Minus the pouches and plus a harness webbing with a cylindrical pod attached to it. Everything else appears to be the same from the footage released today.

Is it me or do you have 1 too many ribs on the cummerbund? Shouldn't it be 6 lines to make 5 subsections rather than 7 to make 6?

One thing, your TD greebles are on the wrong sides. The rectangular piece should be on the left hand side of the detonator with the square side point up, and the circular on the right side. Oh and piece of advice, round off those corners on the biceps and forearms, you'll thank us later when you don't get armour bites when bending your arms.

I do recommend the Altman and wear one myself. Just need to attach a chin strap and you're ready to rock. Very happy with mind (cheers Spike.) I'm Canadian and I ordered it. I didn't even get hit for import duties (though your mileage may vary obviously) and it came in under what you're quoting there for the SC assembled.

What book are those photos from?

Theoretically you could run a longer two way zipper right the way down the front of the flight suit, around the crotch and back up to the waist area in back. It would all be covered by the cod, 2" elastic and then mud flap. Just if you do do it, make sure you lift your mud flap out of the way properly while occupied or things could get interesting.

Wow, that's quite the snout on that.

I used a couple of layers of craft foam in mine. Holds shape great, no bunching or camel toe here.

Stitching the Riding Patches on is the hardest part of making the entire outfit I found. Even worse when you need to completely redo them. But yeah, split the legs and sew and go slowly. Also piece of advice, stitch up the leg as depending on your suede it may stretch slightly as it's stitched so you can end up with some bulging of it where stitching lines come together. So make that area where you finish the stitching up by your waist where it will be hidden just in case.

Also just noticed that my right hand thigh box has a twisted strap at the back. It's only just noticeable from the side shot, not obvious from the rear one.

I knew I hadn't pulled my bund up right. Can't see the back in a mirror but I could feel it wasn't sitting right. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I think I'm done. I have no blaster yet, but that's not required for basic approval. So hit me. Things I know. One arm bicep crept round to the back after I suited up, needs to be pulled forward. Left flak vest sleeve got stuck with the shoulder bell elastic rucked around the bottom. Pull the shoulder bells round to the front fractionally more.
