Oblivian

Appears to be an off the shelf (webbed strap already) unit locally here.. albeit possibly a little more military green/olive than khaki. I forsee their sales increasing A shame a plush version of object to go in one isn't available here until at least July! https://www.armyandoutdoors.co.nz/products/british-canvas-shoulder-bag?_pos=9&_sid=1fedea0dc&_ss=r Sent from my EML-L09 using Tapatalk

It has the standard rear bracket at the top and some squares behind for the bottom. I think the rivets I got are too awesome and strained it (needed artificial spacer) Mixed with some calis tks smacking into me (and forgetting a wide birth so clip things) appears to have maybe aggrevated Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Well that's not what I wanted to discover before shipping off on a plane for a weekend event! Looks like even after only a few events the strain the rivets put on the ABS has taken its toll on 3 of them

What do we have here.. (Yep, a ghost) http://501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=16551&costumeID=6

I *really* should have sorted that method BEFORE riveting it A smearing of glue and hope for the best it is

Was hoping to avoid that in fear of my vest material being stretched to high heaven. But I guess it needs to happen :/ Now I'm also suffering a bit of belt webbing stretch where the rivet holds. My brace across it not doing what I intended. Does everyone lay glue under the exiting point of the webbing to take the strain, or a point behind the rivet ala hidden by the belt boxing

Ta. Is in GMLs hands now. Have you heard of anyone adding slight darting to bund/vests Due to my odd shape I'm having issies with the upper half of the bund. I either need to instate some strapping through the vest to hold it up add some darts under the arms to make it a little more shape fitting Take the total width in and hope it can be tightened and not change the shape of the rear closure

Wampas run small/tight. Aim to go a size higher if you are on the upper end of the scale. L was meant to be to 10" from memory, I was around 9.3. Had I gone with that, It'd be a tight fit.

Why is it AFTER you get undressed to check the photos you realise that your arm plates rolled back when putting the helmet on for the last in the series..

I have a suspicion it's the top edge under the arm at fault rather than the lowers. But not re-suited up to check what aligns up with the bite point (that comes when pre-approvals are taken ) I see the screencaps all have an epic one on the lowers, but I fear I would make a mess of any return edge. The best thing we have here is a clothes iron, and I'm a danger with power tools. Even domesticated ones. Ill try a small diameter top corner for a start, or at least strenghten it and smooth off with some more sanding

Just double checking before I do so, I've not seen any recent-ish defined 'no you cant' post re prepping back/front plates as yet so asking directly I did a 3hr stint on the weekend to test the kit out and found my back had some pretty good bite (saved by the vest and overalls!) that has worn the vest material to a shine due to the right angle cornering. Too much more it will eat through in no time Am I all good to ala-panda the back edges where strapping exits - a little bit without getting hit up about it once too late

So from shifting my reference materials as to what is right/wrong from the Lancer deployment thread, moving to the 'pre approval' is even more daunting! How is that lol! Individual parts as follows. I *Hope* i've made i to near lancer spec minus the sole notching. Everything else should be in check (bar some minor visible flaws to me).. I think. I may need a bodyguard while I try smooth things over with the closely related assisting taylor and helping hands if I tell them I need to change too much :/ Now watch me noob out and make these not visible.. (wearing ones to follow when I get some help and head to that scary pre thread) Tape is marking guide where I need to work something to suspend the Bund near as my shapely gut and less so top, lets it compress down slightly May goto some strapping under the vest that poke out a buttonhole. Looking at others solutions... Went novel attachment here. Sewn under V, velcro double side and slots between the bund flaps well held and adjustable Of course the famous out of the box.. No lancer clips as yet. And some hidden ties while I decide the best mount

Then all of a sudden.. 2300hrs local. So Forgot the balaclava and vest. But are done. Belt is held at the edges by tape, rest is in place. Boots drying while I ponder doing the holster corners as Celebration live stream is distracting me

I'm down under. Redkap direct from Amazon from Mexico was about $50nz. Not bad at all Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk

45mm at the middle. Guessing 55-60 would be better Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk
