FogOut

Holster installed. Weathered Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found out chefcreations offers scout boots too. Contacted them for more detail. There’s a small progress on my current pair. Will mount the holster and weather them tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am still trying to stretch the boots. Wore multiple layers of thick socks and run the hair dryer over it. Stretch marks starting to show Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody can share advice on IB sizing? I m considering the US size 11 boots. My normal shoes sizes range from US10 to 10.5 varies from adidas, DC and 5.11 tactical

I already send it to cobbler, left it there for 4 days for stretching. Resorting to socks and hair dryer now. Nevertheless, I m still getting a stretcher

Well…it’s my first with Crowprops. I m not sure what to say. My right foot fit good and the left foot doesn’t fit well. So if you gonna go with them, add a few more CMs to your measurements. Also don’t bother with your shoe size cos they ll not use it. I ll try to tolerate it, but if i m going to deploy and fight, I m going to IB and get a size bigger. Insoles are always available. i m going to weather my boots and hopefully ready for submission.

Final piece of the puzzle is here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first DIY armor, I m glad the weathering turns out well. I have never weathered anything bigger than a model kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should i tea bath the straps or just dry brush? Ok will sew the soft side Velcro on the knees. Thanks for the tip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Left knee guard straps need shortening. Any other advice and comments will be much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Test fit, will need to tighten some of the elastic straps. Helmet needs a harness or tactical foam. Cummerbund needs altering and tea bath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I ll smooth it after soaking it in a good tea bath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chopper is this thick enough? I think it’s kinda packed now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks dude!! I followed the CRL sample closely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stop for the day. Letting the oil dry up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weathering the helmet. Prep surfaces react differently from unprepared ABS. The splash and wipe off method doesn’t work well. After wiping off So I have to work in small areas of the helmet and slowly blend them together Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get what you mean. To prevent slipping, the straps are webbing non elastic. I loop them back into the 3 rung belt loop to prevent them from slipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
