Bikerscout007 has a great post on undersuit mods where he talks about placement and measurements for the mud flap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coming together nicely Mark. A few adjustment and you’ll be ready to rock! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great job on the boots Mark, and can’t wait to see those test fitting pics. Finish line awaits! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks fantastic. Nice job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re in the home stretch now brother! Can’t wait to see it all finished and you suited up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome James. Who was the vendor if you don’t mind me asking? As you know not all 3D projects on Etsy are the same, but you seemed quite pleased with the result and it looks excellent! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks Great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can check Praetorian Blasters. They have the DLT19 but not the DLT19X. You could always pick up a 3D printed scope and add it. Technically the bi-pod should be removed from the DLT19 for converting it to the 19X (I just learned that from Chopper about two weeks ago), but I don’t think many would notice if you left the bi-pod on. https://m.facebook.com/BlasterMaker/ Doopydoos makes a resin DLT19 (again no 19x) but I have NEVER seen it in stock when visiting the site so I don’t know if their producing it or just do limited runs. https://www.doopydoos.com/stormtroopersandtrooper-dlt-19-heavy-blaster-mk3-uk-and-european-custome-only-at-the-moment-841-p.asp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re right Joe. It looks absolutely phenomenal. Awesome work bud! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you said you were going to correct it, I thought you might use bleach applied with the fine paintbrush to bleach the threads, but your solution was a clever fix. Ingenious! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks fantastic! Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Dot, be careful with sateen fabrics. In my own research I quickly discovered that they’re not all created equal. Make sure to read all the reviews on the fabric and if it doesn’t have any reviews I’d advise passing on it. Some sateens will really fray making it a challenge to sew or a nightmare to work with. As for the flak vest, the most popular option for do-it-yourselfers is the t-shirt method, but as you have created a pattern already any heavy weight cotton in a matt black finish will do. I have links to my fabric selections in my build thread if you want to take a look for comparison or for ideas: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/21137-dennis-scout-wip-lancer/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mark! I’m a novice too when it comes to sewing but I’ve learned a ton on this trip brother. Thankfully I have a daughter who is a fashion design major so she’s my go to when I have a question or need to talk stuff out. We’re always bouncing ideas off one another for our various projects. You’re lucky to have your sewing buddy. The two of you knock so much stuff out when you work together. I’m always amazed by your level of productivity. The box idea for the pouches works great. It’s just enough to keep the pouches from sagging and maintains their shape, plus I can get my gloved hand in the pouch with out any issue making the pouches easily accessible and more utilitarian.

I can’t tell from your photo if there is padding, but if not it’s another easy fix with the seam ripper and making new quilted sleeves. You’ve probably already thought this through, as it sounds like you have a solid game plan and approach to your build. You might even be able to use the original sleeve as the outer part of the sleeve provided that the quilting doesn’t absorb too much of the circumference.

Flak vest is an easy fix. Just seam rip the Velcro and restitch it so the closure is correct. Everything else is looking really good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not tight, but snug. I wore them around the house for two days to loosen them up a bit. You’ll want to do this anyway so that you don’t have sore feet the first time you troop in them, especially if they are tight on you. As long as you’re not out and about beating them up they’ll be fine to work with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! I can’t wait to see these boots finished Sven. I’m particularly curious about how the bevel in the tube will work out. It might be a design technique beneficial to those working with vinyl coverings. I understand your nervousness given the amount of time it takes to work this leather but your planning and design process has been solid so far. I’m sure it’ll work out well.

I can’t wait to see this finished Joe. Everything looks great! It’s really coming together now. Nice job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great “how to” Brien. Thanks for taking the time to document the process and your experience! This will be helpful to a lot of Scouts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
