Welcome! Looking forward to your progress. For your soft goods I recommend @Chrisx909x He made mine and they fit great and are good quality.

Looking great, keep it up!

Thank you!

Put it all on today!! Honestly this is my favorite suit to wear! A few fitting issues, but the solution will be to pull everything up closer to the chest. I’ll also be wearing the forearms over the gloves. Turns out there’s no need for a seamstress after doing some tinkering. Overall I’m very pleased and excited. Next time I put it all on I’ll have the helmet along with the fitting sorted out. But for now I’m stoked! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just placed the order for my replacement visor and face plate for the bucket. Getting in contact with my seamstress for the flightsuit this week. Getting back on track!

He commissioned all my soft goods, good quality…legs are just baggy when I put it all on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll definitely put some feelers out to reach anyone local.

I tried what I thought was your instructions and I wasn’t successful. Not much experience on the sewing machine, along with needing a bigger one. For some reason the legs are just bigger than my original coverall flightsuit.

Anyone know of a good tailor in your garrison? Preferably in the US. My jumpsuit legs need to be brought in and I’d like someone experienced to do so. Hit me up if you know of anyone!

Made a good leap of progress on my kit yesterday!! Down to the last pieces of rigging. I’m looking forward to wearing it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for your feedback and advice. Those are definitely the issue, I just cut way too far up and back. I’ll most likely replace it now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m wanting to achieve the most amount of accuracy possible with this build. In that mindset my attention is on the eye hole/lense area. Would it be beneficial to replace the face to get the round edges or leave it as is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for doing this!! I am literally doing that today for my RK legs to get the tapered look.

Cool, thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the best method to attach the lense in the bucket?

Thank you both for your encouragement and support! I’ll definitely be adding pictures and asking questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got all the soft parts in, going to start rigging the strapping and fine tuning everything this week.

Awesome, y’all are the bomb!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for the heads up! I’ve seen others do the same so hopefully it’ll help a tad bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did not… oops hopefully they’ll be good enough [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just ordered the gloves from Wampa wear. Won’t have the soft goods in time tomorrow to do test fitting as I’ll be heading out of town. After thanksgiving everything should be squared away to take pics and submit for approval!!

Big update!! After work today, I pushed through to finish all the parts that were remaining. I sewed the webbing on the belt, pinstriped the tank and attached it to the back armor. Hoping to post first suit up pictures Friday if I get my soft parts by then. I’m excited to become a scout trooper!!!
