I've only put up photos pertaining to the appropriate threads they were posted in.

[chilledmilk]

[Heatshock]

Ok so here is a shot of the tan cadpat top I'll get to dyeing it within the next week

 

 

I think that once dyed it will look closer to the on screen soft armour camo pattern then the Brittish DPM's

[Death Recon]

Ran to the store and picked up a few supplies.

Just the basics before I grab my dremmel tool anyways.

3M automotive bondo, sandpaper, and a few masks so I don't die of cancer later

 

 

I'm going to start on my bucket first seeing as I will need the dremmel tool for everything else.

 

 

[chilledmilk]

yup. loots good, the bondo worked great on helmet. i bondo'ed the poo out of the inside of visor. i wanted it smooth and clean to get rid of the sharp edges and what not.

[Death Recon]

Well, first time for everything I guess.

Me and Bondo don't seem like good friends now but just you wait and see

I'll beat the £#¥% out of it till I get it how I want.

I think I used to much hardner is all, take a look at the left side.

I can sand that out in the morning, no worries.

 

[chilledmilk]

dont even worry. ya it hardened when it was still on spreader. it alll works out. mine still looks like garbage. havent had time to go back and clean it up.

[Death Recon]

Well, lil more work on the helmet... Put a bunch more bondo on the inside of the visor but hike waiting for that I started to reshape the right side and fill in some of the cracks

 

The right ear piece wasn't as crisp or as rounded as the left so I had to add a bit of bondo to it, still have to bring it back a lil more but almost have it

 

 

Seems I had to take it back quit a bit

 

Here's the visor all filled in just need to sand her down

[chilledmilk]

yours looks just about how mine does. dont forget about the sharp bend in middle of the sides. dont want to lose that detail.

[Death Recon]

Well more to post tomorrow or the next day, just picked up 95% of the supplies I needed... But mainly the 250 piece rotary tool I was waiting to go on sale ($40 down from $130)

[chilledmilk]

beats my 10 dollar it kinda works rotary tool.

[Death Recon]

Yeah this kit came with everything I think I'll need.

It's the mastercraft 1.5 amp, 5K-35K rpm.

[Death Recon]

Even though I can only work on this for an hour or two a day I've gotten a lot down with the helmet...

I noticed the visor was pulled a little more on the left side so I trimmed it down, had some issues along the way but here is everything cut out

 

Oh and it JUST fits on my head... LoL, I've trimmed the hole as much as possible an it still scraps the sides of my head when I put it on

 

[Death Recon]

Been working on my soft parts all day:

-Redid my BDU pants pouches;

-Almost finished my BDU tunic;

-Finished my tan Cadpat tunic, still needs to be dyed;

-Started on my Cummerbund, still need to find the proper elastic strips though

[chilledmilk]

elastic strips? isnt it just webbing, like backpack straps. but grey

[Death Recon]

Well that's gonna make it easier to find!

Hmm I thought it was elastic... I'm going out tomorrow for more supplies.

[Drewid]

I used 3/4" black elastic for the two black vertical strips on the front. The rest is 1.5" silver/gray seatbelt webbing. At least that's what I used

[Death Recon]

Worked on my BDU tunic today, 99% finished top&bottoms...

 

- going to shorten arms and legs

- still need to add velcro closures so they can be more form fitting (might solve some issues with fabric bunching up as putting on boots/gloves)

- I still need a good trooper from overseas to pick up an "oatmeal" suede riding patch...

 

Here's where I'm at now:

 

- added Velcro to close the tunic and neck

 

- got "guilted into" redoing my thigh pockets (now that I'm home and have a sewing machine)

 

- added a neckline flap:

 

- 99% finished product:

[chilledmilk]

on my pants im thinking of adding velcro to the inside of shin armor and on pants so you cant see the gap from where leg and leg armor meet.

[Death Recon]

I will be doing that for most of the armour.

Especially the knee and elbo areas

[Heatshock]

BDU look sgood mate - even the pockets!

 

I do the velcro thing with my shin armour too

[miqt]

Looks great!

[Death Recon]

Look what I just got in the mail

I asked Heavy from BSN here if her father could make me one, first time he made the DC-15S, looks good... I just need to touch it up with some paint for detail.

Now I'm just waiting on Mr.WC to finish my DC-15A

I know we don't require a weapon but I don't see the point of walking around unprotected

(Hopefully I will have my armour finished by aug so I can wear it to Fan-Expo 2013 in Toronto, I'm going to be up there on curse at that time)

Nah, that DC looks awful. You're just going to have to send it to me. I'll take care of it for you.

You're getting a DC rifle from 'ol W. Chuck? Excellent detail. You won't regret that.

And when did our cat take a trip up north?? (Here kitty-kitty-kitty...)
