thanks!

try user chunk

I had the redkap modded by chunk, and the bund made by marcel. My question is cleaning? Ive worn them a few times, and the last few i was pretty sweaty. I have never washed anything that was suede, and I dont want to ruin anything. Any suggestions? Dry clean? Just in my laundry? I want to bund to stay white and nice as long as possible. THen ill just be a dirty scout

i went with an ALT. Its awesome. Highly reccomend.

I have worn a SC,KS, and and the ALT before I bought. The ALT is amazing. But far the best of the 3. I couldnt be happier with it. Get an ALT.

I am 5 10, 230, and the SC armor fits just fine. Its the soft parts that you will need to be worried about fit. Esp the cumberbund.

Last part I need to complete my suit is the Vest. Is anyone making them? Thanks!

That was what I meant, thank you!

so another question that is confusing to me....from the chest back armor part. Chest Armor For 501st approval: Gloss white, semi-gloss or weathered. There is a recessed rectangular area present over the right breast that is painted a medium to dark gray. The chest and back armor join together over the shoulder and the gap covered with a loop of white fabric. The sides of the chest armor are attached to the back armor with white elastic. For level two certification (if applicable): Shoulder bridge straps, attaching the front and back of the armor, are made of white cotton webbing. Not Nylon. [*]Side under arm chest/back straps are made from 50mm (2") white webbing. Optional: Straps may be off-white if using off white pouches/drop box straps. Optional: 50mm white elastic material is acceptable provided the color matches. What it the difference between as listed here... White elastic....White webbing, and white cotton webbing???

that is a great help khazara! edit.. just noticed your list of parts in your sig...thats pretty much my same part list...!

can the rivets be seen? Do they have to be a certain metal?

does anyone have a link to the right kind of rivet gun, and rivets? What is the testors paint for? Besides the boots and vest, where would you use the sewn in velcro? I have the glues and industrial velcro. And thank you everybody!

Thanks F Patrol - I know what Lancer requirements are...what i was asking what I might need to get or buy for the SC kit, to make it Lancer, as I have not recieved it yet....so I figured someone already knew..and I could order up what i might need before the armor arrived. Thanks Griffin - I will do just that!

looks pretty spot on to me.

Does anyone have a list needed? So this is my 1st build of any kind (i have trimmed TK armor but that doesnt count)... And I have started ordering stuff this week... Altmann Helm, Chunks flight Suit, Marcels cumberund and puches, and wampa wear gloves.... After I get paid on friday it will be SC armor, and some boots. I guess that leaves flack vest and gun? So the journey begins...

So if they are now light grey, does that mean they are 501st approved, or lancer?(the decals I mean)... you said the buttons are easy to remove...so I am assuming you are saying they arent approved/lancer?

Thanks Griffin. hard to tell if that guy is still making the Bolts. I sent him a PM.

where does one get the decals and 3m covers for approval? How hard are they to change out?

what exactly needs to be done to it to get 501st approval? I was going to order pre built just because I am out of time these days....but am I going to have to just take it apart to do whatever these mods are im reading about? Is there details or a video on how to do that? Chris

I was wondering how deep. thanks !

I need a post where I can reference all the abbreviations... LW,KS, SC, etc...

Do we have anyone making them? I saw a lot of people custom doing the red kaps one... is there a tutorial .... or anyone have any before and after pics showing what was done?

I see a lot of people making boots...which I may try, but with Christmas coming and all, I am thinking I want boots. Do we have any reliable boot makers? I see a reference to a Marcel? (sorry new here!) How much are there, and whats the lead time? Thanks!

So I am looking to get a helmet for 501st approval, and I am going with prebuilt. 1. I am leaning towards KS, as they seem available. Besides SC, Is there any place else that has a quality helmet readily available? 2. Which helmet requires the least modification for approval? thanks !
