Showoff: my soft parts trooped last week

[NegativeEleven]

So last week I was trooping (the local garrison is nice to let me troop my Fett even though I'm still short a jetpack and a few other parts that'll run me hundreds of dollars) and while we were suiting up, a TB 933 mentioned that he's waiting on another guy to bring a flightsuit for him to borrow, since his had been misplaced. The guy with the flightsuit was driving from 2 hours away and had said he'd be a little late, so I said I could run home (less than 5 miles) and grab mine. I haven't added the suede or elastic yet, but neither had he (501st member since 2005) and the suit he was going to borrow is from a Tie Pilot. Just to compare, I also brought my cummerbund and the only set of completed pouches (off-white, I am going to replace with white but still have to add velcro). He said my stuff was all in better condition than his (again, CRL standards have changed since his scout was approved and it's a little rough from several years of trooping).

 

Long story short, my cummerbund, pouches and flightsuit got to troop with SC armor. TB 933 is a little skinnier than I am, so it took some safety pins to make it all fit him and the pouches started to sag almost immediately, so I guess I need to figure out how to keep them in place better. Either way, I'm excited about my scout progress. Hope my KS helmet arrives this week!

 

 

Other than the fit, anyone notice anything I should be working on? I'm planning on adding suspenders of some kind (probably with snaps behind the pouches). I gotta fix the neck on the suit, too. I have the back pockets on the table next to the sewing machine to work on that next.

Soft parts look good. But all together, the armor needs a lot of work. Send him over here for some recommendations.

I believe helmet and armor are SC, several years old.

What's wrong with his suit? What constructive criticism would you have? The only thing I see is that the inside of his pouch should be tucked inside the bund.

 

I went to an armour party to get photos taken yesterday and the main thing I noticed was that I'm fatty than I thought and my posture and stance was terrible.

Also drop boxes too low. Shoulder bells should not overlap bicep armour.

Yeah he could trim down the shoulder bells quite abit in length to stop the over lap, he could do with some new knees with a return and the black strips want to come off the holster

[elwyn5150]

Yeah, the shoulders do look pretty huge.

Also missing grey rectangular decal on chest plate.

Bolt cover is KS-style bolt cover.
