I was gonna pad mine cos im old lol

That’s if you want a neck seal as per the CRL optional bit. OR ”Collar: A Mandarin-style collar closure flap covers the neck area; OR Collar may be left open. If collar is left open, trooper's neck must be covered with a black garment such as a neck seal, gaiter or long balaclava.” @BikerScout007 did a great video about it. I’ll link it here the neck covering is from about 4 mins in

The other pics show it turned down and looks like the one Mickey had on the crl update video. The balaclava is a thin , breathable fabric so Im hoping it’ll be fine. I can always get a troopacoola scout helmet fan kit if needed. hide power bank in pouch and run cable up the turtleneck etc

Looking into the neck covering with the open collar. Found this on uk Amazon. Obvs the black one but thinking it would do nicely ? https://amzn.eu/d/9WGHETb

Scraped and saved and have moved the money for the armour so I can’t spend it. gonna be skint for a bit till it catches up but i will do everything in my power to do so and honour the gesture made to me I will troop I will do good. I will make whoever did this proud. I promise

Heard from Rob Order in the queue. Im gonna be a Biker Scout! Ray of sunshine on an otherwise horrible day

This look like the right size for transport? I guess ill have to nest it but thats fine https://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-pro-mobile-tool-chest-24-1-2-/52706

Just confirming with Chef if the order has to be placed any differently if if done as usual for full build commission and just invoiced differently. Getting so close to ordering I can taste it lol

Just had it confirmed that all I would have to do is sort the armour and the bucket. I don’t know who you are but I will never be able to repay your huge love and kindness towards me. somehow THANK YOU seems it will never be enough. typed this in tears much love

Nice one!!

Apologies for late reply but I loved the last one and it would be awesome to have another

This is something I never thought id post. This year has been going from bad to worse culminating in my mum nearly passing because of a massive stroke last Wednesday. Its a long road but she's still here and the road to recovery starts. Last week I received a message on the forum from the @BikerScout007 Some amazing human being , I dont know who they are , has spoken to rob from chefs creations and has offered to pay for my soft goods.😮 He then passed on the offer to me which tbh was a huge shock and I'm still weirded out by it, So this means with whats about I will only need to , when I can , buy the sized armour and then its a case of test fitting and adjusting as necessary. I am blown away by this members amazing generosity and I will be another step closer to achieving this dream. I knew there were some amazing people around here but this , this is just beyond that and I will never be able to thanks this pathfinder enough. Whoever you are I thank you from the bottom of my heart Just wanted to let you know im still here and cant wait to be trooping some day sooner than I thought.

Rob at chefs work is epic and the sizing chart he provides on the site is pretty comprehensive

Life’s been getting on the way. it’ll be a while before things are done. They will be though 😉

Awesome vid chief

I still have the orginal thingiverse files which people I can send over if anyone wants them

mate im SO happy for you. The relief must be amazing.. where did you source from in the end?

Saw the fb post. Congrats to everyone involved

sent you a dm buddy , there might be some light at the end of the tunnel .

thank you guys. much love

sent

I'll stick them in a zip and fire it over to you soon mate.

I fear I have to put this wonderful journey on hiatus. The cost of living crisis here in the UK means I need all the money I can get to try to keep warm , fed and a roof over my head should things continue to get worse. I hope it’s not for long but it’s gone to be at lest next year before I might feel able to afford to get the armour sorted. Unless I’m about to get a lottery win or an inheritance. I’m not going anywhere and I WILL see this through… just not yet.

I also downloaded the thingiverse files and although I haven’t used them I can send them to anyone who wants them. Should be okay with fair use given they were available for free at the time I got them

ahhh in that case do what the wise master said
