  1. Hi folks - As someone who hasn't cut armor much, how have you accomplished rounding out the corners of the SC shoulder bells? Did you use a measurement or some type of pattern? And what did you use to cut - xacto? Scoring and snapping doesn't seem precise enough for this sort of thing. Thank you!
  2. Hi all, What suede should I be buying from Tandy Leather? Should it be this pig skin? And if so how many of these should I be ordering, 1, 2? https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/glazed-pig-lining
  3. Same here. I put in my order in February and have had multiple missed ship dates. They began telling me that I'd get a discount for the inconvenience and because other people got slotted ahead of me even though I ordered first. However today I had enough and asked for a cancellation/refund. I'm told there will be a restocking fee for materials purchased...I'll accept this but I also don't think it's entirely fair considering the situation. Very disappointed.
  4. I ordered in February and I'm still waiting - but I know for a fact other people in my garrison that ordered after me recieved theirs before me.
  5. I love my Altman! Sturdy, and looks amazing.
  6. Hi all! A few questions: 1. What have you found to be the most effecting way of measuring how much elastic to use for the the arms and knees - and in particular the extra riveted elastic on the knee? 2. About how much elastic should be used on the T-strip elastic, reaching down to the shoulder bells? I'm afraid of making too much or too little distance.. 3. On the side closures I plan on making two sets, one set with elastic and one set with the white cotton webbing. About how far apart should the back and front plates be on the sides when measured out? And on the Lancer CRL it suggests combining webbing and elastic for the side closure - has anyone done that? If you have, then how? Sorry for all the questions - thank you!
  7. Are the decals and greeblies included with the SC helmet kit considered accurate or should they be supplemented with something else? It doesn't look like it comes with a chin cup - where would be the right place to look for this, and what kind of strapping should be used for it? Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Cutting these things is difficult! I may have completely messed up my first shoe.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
