All my elastic, nylon, and buckles came in today. I will try and get out to the store and pick up some gray paint for the chest and belt boxes soon.

Yea, I wear my painting respirator.

With the help of Chopper, I purchased all the elastic and nylon for the build. One step closer.

Thank you so much for that post, that is exactly what I needed. So I decided to pull out my armor and measure the various strap cut outs in my armor pieces and double check before I purchase anything. Shoulder armor - no cutout so I can use 3/4" or 1" Upper Arm Armor - cutout is 1" Forearm Armor - cutout is 3/4" Knee Armor - cutout is 1" Belt - I'll get that 1.5" nylon Looks like it will be best if I just get a bunch of 3/4" ribbed elastic. Again, thank you so much for helping me out. You might want to make some kind of sticky post about these materials for future recruits.

What sizes and lengths do I need to complete my Mandalorian Biker Scout? I see there is a bag of replacements on stuido creations website, but it costs $80. I cant afford that especially when I need to buy 2 sets for my wife and myself. I am going over the CRL's and I see a few things listed: Most of the armor attachments say 3/4" or 1" ribbed. Do certain armor pieces need smaller and others need larger? Also is there certain brand and how much should I buy? The chest armor needs 1.5" or 2" elastic. Is there a specific brand and how much should I buy? Belt says I need 1.5" straps and 4 black buckles. Is there a specific brand and how much should I buy?

Ok that gives me something to work on this week. I'll see what I can do. If it proves to be too much to get it looking right, I can always order from studio creations.

I didnt really sand the underside as much, just the edges on everything. I was planning on using rustoleum sandable filler primer for the little pin holes and bubbles. Here is everything trimmed and edges lightly sanded. Here are the profiles of the tank toppers. The front areas are a little thicker than the back areas. I think the FL heat warped the second one, so I will have to flatten it back out with my heat gun.

the piece that goes on the tank is missing a recessed circle. is that ok? I have the 2 bolt things, but not want appears to be connected to them.

After a couple minutes of sanding. Is this close?

Our cummerbunds came in a couple days after I made that post. I think I got lucky and had super fast shipping from KriptonTop. I just had a memory on Facebook that I had ordered these kits 4 years ago and they have been sitting in my hot Florida garage ever since. I wanted to ask if these pieces are good enough to use or if I need to get newer versions.

Not a whole lot to update lately, but I got the notification that my cummerbund and neck seals have shipped. I should get them by mid October. I also ordered boots from @Chrisx909x so the costume is coming together. I think I will now focus on the attachment straps/nylon/velcro items.

We went to an armor party yesterday and worked on our back armor tanks and getting them to align/fit properly. It took us alot of trial and error but I think we are mostly there. I think there will only need to be some minor tweaking once we go to put it all together. Big thanks to @Stryker_412 and Delta for making sure we were doing it right. I dont know if we could have done it without you two.

Looks like they also offer neck seals as an add on accessory, so I am getting those with my cummerbund order.

I just ordered 2 cummerbunds from KriptonTop on ETSY. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1265184806/scout-trooper-the-mandalorian-cummerbund

Thank you! I just ordered 2 from KriptonTop.

I am looking to purchase cummerbunds and just want to make sure they are approvable. These were the 2 options I found on etsy: KriptonTop - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1265184806/scout-trooper-the-mandalorian-cummerbund AmionCostumes - https://www.etsy.com/listing/989434544/custom-made-remnant-scout-trooper?variation1=2042595246&variation0=1966261069 If there are other options I would love to see them. For price reasons I am leaning towards KriptonTop because I need to buy 2.

Finished my bag this afternoon.

Sorry about that. I have and old imgur so I will try and use that from now on.

The size they allow for these pictures is really small so here is another picture but a close up on the D rings and chicago screw attachments.

I cut off the buckle but used that opening for one of my one set of my D rings.

Can I just use a dremel and cut off the double prongs, the loop keeper, and the spiner on the buckle, and just use the buckle as one of the D rings for attaching to the bag?

I bought the p37 bag from amazon and the badge from etsy. I just ordered the replacement strap belt from amazon and a set of d rings. I should be able to get the chicago screws at my local hardware store.

I already bought the p37 bag on amazon and the badge from etsy. I plan to get these d rings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WPXCS5G/ I will get the chicago screws at a local hardware store. I was looking at this belt: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F1915MX/ What size should I get for the belt?

I just purchased black flight suits and biker scout gloves from Wampa Wear this morning for my wife and I. There is another armor party later this month. We are making slow but steady progress with our goal of being approved by the end of the year.

Thank you, I will be ordering the wampa wear black flight suit you linked to.
