Welcome mate and great choice with chef. My scout commission was started on Thursday so cant wait. It'll be worth the wait mate

Mail from chef confirming some sizes as today was a momentous occasion. Today marked the start of my soft goods production Never thought id see the day

Found this on Amazon for the neck covering ( already have balaclava) this should do eh

Congrats man!

Chin cup backup blaster ( will also get one off chef ) Balaclava and gloves all located sundries in Amazon basket ready to order 1 in and 1/2 inch Velcro cable ties for bells ( if not done ) helmet pads Velcro strapping to secure armour and belt / bund to suit 5mm button magnet for blaster and holster long handles shoehorn insoles for me feet Back brace strap Cos fat and back iffy 😂 And of course the black dickie cos open collar is the way

Update from Chef on FB “ Just a quick note to everyone, we will be postponing orders on building of fully built Scouts/Commando's and Helmets for the foreseeable future. We're well behind on orders and they are the most time consuming item we do. So in order to help us get to the front of the queue and get back on a more even keel we'll be stopping them for the moment. Anyone who has ALREADY ordered one, Your order will still be completed, so don't panic. We just won't be taking new orders until we've cleared the backlog. Kits and everything else are not affected. Being busy is good, supposedly... Thanks R.” just had message back that mine is getting started now and should have it in a couple of weeks all being well

Luckily I’ve had some MHA issues recently and it also turns out I’m probably on the ASD spectrum. An update would be nice to help me calm down. I know it’ll get sorted and I know it will be worth it Then it’s just the terror of putting pics of the empires chubbiest scout trooper in here 😂

I’m not doubting Rob so sorry if it seemed that way. Don’t doubt it will be worth it just want it in my grubby paws I’m doubting myself lol Found out I very probably have ASD so sometimes struggle with waiting for stuff. Looking forward to being the chubbiest scout in the empire lol

still waiting on the build slot. It's a little bit annoying but, if its this busy then all it doers is demonstrate just how good chefs kit is It'll be worth the wait

Hey dude. hope you well. I trust him just checking in and my anxiety had a wee hello. Big mug of tea and all good

Heard back They're just insanely busy so may well wait till new year Least I know lol

More worried I’ve not heard back from the email I sent

Isn’t the waiting just the best bit, 😂😂

Emailed chef. Hopefully hear back soon

Ahhh that would explain it. Cheers Boss. That’s all I’d need to be anyway

Still awaiting any news. On the bright side its stopped you poor souls having to look at the empires chubbiest biker scout lol

Welcome!! Like @Retrofire said this place is an amazing resource and full of lovely folk and a great armoury team. As for timeframe ? it’s not how long you take but that you get there and we are all here to help. my journey started in Feb last year and with the help of this lovely lot I’m nearly ready for BBB day

Haha. I hadn’t noticed that ( it’s 6am lol ) but I too overthink and worry for what it turns out to be no good reason lol 😂

That sounds familiar lol Congrats man

And apparently chef had just posted about the tank topper crl change so I’ll get the updated parts Wohooo

8 down hopefully 8 to go heh

Cos we’re dead cool lol 😂😂

Been a month or so..I think. Chef said its about 4-5 months cos they're dead busy lol

The wait for the BBB is driving me nuts heheh

It’s a great video. Like @Retrofiresays it’s not how fast you get there , it’s that you do get there. my journey is so far around 2 years and all being well will be over by autumn Trust me , the juice will be worth the squeeze
