Hello everyone! I've had my B-grade armor from Studio Creations sitting in my closet for over a year now. I've combed the forums like crazy and have just been incredibly intimidated in starting this whole process. I've made this topic to try and keep myself accountable and get started. As a university senior, whatever little free time I have is usually spent on sleeping, haha. I'm also trying to save money where ever possible, so I shall be sewing sewing the cummerbund, codpiece and pouches myself. I might try to modify a pair of gloves so that they fit the CRL requirements, but I'm willing to purchase gloves as long as they're reasonably priced. Under $40 would be optimal.
The following topic shall document my journey towards approving a Mandalorian Scout Trooper. My goal is to start and finish this project in 1 month.
I'm a 5'2'' gal, and I weigh 135 pounds. I'm in the process of looking for a good flight suit that shall fit my body type well. I think I am going to purchase the small Red Kap Men's coverall, link below:

I thought about buying the flight suit from Wampawear, but it is just WAY out of my budget. Would a modified Red Kap be fine for a Mandalorian Scout Trooper? Advice/input appreciated. 😀 Thanks!
I am also going to be making the boots myself. As a base, I will be using "kingshow Men's 1366 Water Resistant Premium Work Boots", as recommended over on the ROTJ Biker Scout forums:

Thanks for welcoming a Tusken Raider to your ranks!
