Ready for inspection!

[Goubatsu]

Well, not quiet, but just to make sure everything is a-okay so when my flak vest comes in i can finish it off and send my pictures off..

 

Finished it off about 2 weeks ago, havent had any time to post on here, was so busy trying to get this over and done with! Almost there though! Only taken me around 7-8 months? Waiting on my flak vest and then i'll be bolting my holster on and doing the suede on the thighs, otherwise I think its all good/clear to go? What do you guys think? Anything extra needed? Boxes up further? Anything to fix up? The first picture is just to show it all clearly.. iv since then actually put sticky velcro in my chest to attach my pouches properly so they sit nicer as you can see in the photos below that

 

Also bonus photo's from a photoshoot this weekend in the rain forest, never felt more at home.. was an amazing feeling

Glad to finally have it (almost! So close!) finished

It looks good to me. Being as skinny as you are however because of the way they sit naturally some might say your thigh boxes are a little low.

[Southscout]

Looks good mate. Maybe bring the boxes up a bit (1/2 inch maybe?). Also, I can't see the strap on the shoulder joints, looks like it's not there. Or?

 

A picture from behind would also help

Yup defo raise the drop boxes, id also chop down your shoulder bells a touch in length and round off the corners. It maybe also an idea to run a seam up the leg of your flight suit to make the legs less baggy bud, pretty darn good looking scout mate

[Griffin-X]

Not too bad, great work. I'd raise the drop boxes a bit as mentioned above and make sure you wrap your chest/back joins. I would also replace your KS snout and bolt covers, but that should not affect yor clearance. You might also use a darker grey on the chest stripe.

Everyone has hit on everything. Remember you need the suede on the suit as well as the straps on the leg. Nice looking scout.

So drop boxes up 1/2 a inch? Whats the general rule of thumb of where they should sit by the way? Are they the right height in the top/first picture, or still need to be higher? Because in the other 3 pictures they seem to have slipped down a lot as i havent secured them (properlly yet) as i wanted to find what height they should be before i do!

I've taken a fair bit off the shoulders as is but i will take just a little bit more i think...

I'll make these updates this week and upload some better pictures.

 

 

Thanks for the tips

[4505Marcel]

I recon the drop boxes could go up a tadge more than 1/2" personally

[Goubatsu]

I'll take them up a fair bit and take a picture on my day off which is this thursday

[Goubatsu]

Been busy with all the Christmas shopping last and this week, but i recieved my Flak vest on thursday (at last!), need to make some adjustments too the sleeves as they are too long and limit my movement a lot! Pictures coming soon. Home stretch now. One question though, with the suede patches on the pants how far down should they sit/end?

[Southscout]

I made mine so they end just around the top of the knee armor.

[Goubatsu]

Yeah, was going to make a bit of a (not too large, but noticiable enough) gap between the knee armour and where the suede patches end. That sounds about correct? I haven't seen many pictures to put it up against. If anyone has any they would be great!

[Southscout]

[Goubatsu]

After a month of procrastination and life being the way it is me and my girlfriend have finally finished with the suede thighs and the buttflap! So all iv gotta do now is attach my holster to my boot... which hopefully I will not put off! Then i'll be sending my pictures off!

 

Wish me luck!
