bselphfsu282 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Mine turned out the same way, but honestly you won't be able to tell. After you get it on the glove with some weathering it will look natural. Good luck with your build! I'm not way too many steps beyond you, but a lot of trial and error and questions have been asked and answered. Check out the other builds on here for more info, but never be afraid to ask. I assume you will be making a BC kit? Recon and I are working on the same, but most everyone can lead you in the right direction regardless if the kit they built.

comm tech Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 This will be interesting as you are not using the old style british desert style BDU's. It will be interesting to see what these will look like when they get dyed. Since the British BDU's are getting harder to find a good alternative will be needed. Hope they come out ok when finished. Agree with the glove greebs, they already look good and beat up, perfectly weathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Recon Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was thinking of doing the same thing with my boots, looks like progress Here's a referance pic for bselphfsu's next post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bselphfsu282 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's a nice boot there! You may want to bring up the curve a bit right next to the heel. If you look at the screen shots, I looks like that is the area with the biggest curve to it. What boot is that and did you have to paint it white?

bselphfsu282 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 If they are a size 13 in men's, they look horrible and you should send them to me for "disposal." If not, looking fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What boot is that and did you have to paint it white? brand called Fostex and they come as they are, unfortunatly cant go any high on the curve under the heels cause i might break throu the sole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 For the boots you have, and the dremmel work that you did with them, they look pretty good. If you know you can't go up any higher because of the sole, don't risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quingald finn Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Got my armor in today, take a look its gorgeous Now all the fun begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bselphfsu282 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Man, I almost forgot what it looked like after so long and work! You'll have fun with this. Also check out some lexon scissors. They made life much easier on a few things. Score and snap though is what you will do most of. Check out all the threads for help, but I know me and Recon are working on the same kit, so feel free to ask anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Score and snap? I used a dremmel for mostly everything... Then sanded the edges with the dremmel as well There are a lot of knowledgable people here on BSN, and as Bselph said any questions just toss them out there and one of us should have an answer. Good luck and have fun, my build is taking a while but I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bselphfsu282 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Allan, really?!?!?! Man you must be dang good with that Dremel! I don't trust myself enough. A few passes with sharp razor and grab some pliers to snap. Little sanding and good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
