To say my anxiety is going off the charts is a huge understatement. I’m trying to stop my hands shaking and bursting into tears as I hate what I look like and I know I’m a big fella. A few things regarding the dressing. I did this on my own , yes I struggled and yes I’m aware ( thanks for @Aradun’s help in spotting that. I also now the rh bell is all over as the ties haven’t been shortened to length yet and the elastic anchor came loose. These are now getting rectified. I just wanted to try it on despite it looking a mess and there are dressing issues galore ,but with help dressing and sorting the last couple of things I will be the chubbiest scout in the empire but hey we sit on bikes yeah lol please be kind. This is a huge thing for me ps I was baking so obv no neckcovering and balaclava -

Quick addition today. Stuck on suit and positioned and then makes suit using white tape. Then peeled backing off Velcro and placed on suit and stuck down. This should be okay but can always secure with fabric glue and weight if needed. -

Suit arrived and fits with the extra midriff bit. Tiny bit long in sleeve lengths but that’s not an issue with the gloves. now to sort full dress up an clearance pics -

Cheers Pete. ( @Retrofire ) Means a lot. Would you say the weathering is at a point where it’s good? Other than that everything is good to go for final dress and clearance. -

Quick update Flightsuit off back to chef to be sorted. in mean time added Velcro to back of knees , back of belt either side of the join and the front ‘buckle box’ just in case. Also had issue with the fitted zip tie anchors coming off their adhesive backing on the shoulder so removed them , cleaned the surface and fitted new ones with new zip ties. Then I remembered the armour video that @BikerScout007did so went back and checked that , then copied the solution to fit the top anchor to the shoulder bridges. So that now has a tie anchor stuck to a piece of industrial Velcro secured to the Velcro on the bridge cover. Make the pain stop lol -
No matter how long it takes eh brother 😉 😂😂😂

Yeah. Already spelt to him and resubmitted the correct measurements. one option he mentioned is to add an elastic section to make up the difference. This would be at a point where the bind would hide it I assume. I’ll be sending it back on Monday and it’ll be done when it’s done. it’ll be fine in the end -

Houston we have a problem flightsuit isn’t tall about above the waist so can’t get over shoulders. I need to remeasure and sort that That’s my mistake and it’s sortable the main thing is that all the amour fits , had to use the extensions , but the test fitting was with ISG scouts so belt bind etc all good. The upper arm t-bits are both exactly the same so the pointy bits are both the same now the crl just states there has to be a t-bit bit but nothing on the L/R orientation. Hoping that would be okay its a blip but it’s all sortable -
