The neck seal is actually supposed to be dressed UNDER the neck of the jumpsuit, not overtop like in the pic.

 

Great.... ANOTHER layer! hahahaha. These guys must have been cold running around on Endor.

What's underneath and invisible for the spectator is - at least for legion approval - no issue.

It is only an issue for those trying to replicate the look and functions as close as possible.

 

So no force here and freedom of personal preference for those who wish to keep it simple and economic in regards to upgrades.

And I guess arguing for the 5 cm a belt might be more up or down is in the same league in regards of our basic operations.

 

Still it is important not to rest until oneself is satisfied and actually there are things that might be critical for basic approval and the so called levels. I don't like these as it has no meaning at least I don't see it but they'r there.

 

Knowing is key at least for those who see their major project in the scout and are not so interested in quantities but more quality.

A costume is never really finished ;)

 

Another important thing is the silky fabric. I didn't like it as the MoM shots already reveiled it but certainty and acceptance grew within me when the Blu Ray pictures verified it in HD.

Nowadays I I have a whole new perspective on that feature...

 

So never say never ;)

I was going to mention this on another thread where I saw someone was making and selling the Cummberbun and pouches, the photo in this thread confirms what I'm about to recommend .

 

There is no double seams on the outside of the pouches or the cummberbun bottom edging

even in this photo you have double sewn the bottom no need to, once sewn and pulled inside out is enough. Otherwise they look really good!

BTW never go by a mannequin that has been dressed on where Armor sits, I've seen too many mistakes made. go by how it is made and so forth, but take it with a pinch of salt, I think we have seen quite a few displays of the original costumes displayed wrong in exhibitions :)

Personally i like the double sewn on the cummerbund. Give better appearance and shape and is not perceptible, but not movie accurate. Anyway cummerbund that I make now don't have this double sewn. And pouches don't have the double sewn too.

But in the interest of keeping layers down to a minimum, I was thinking of crafting a new codpiece and velcroing it to my bund right at the bottom of it. That way I can achieve that look of it going under without having a longer flak vest.

I had the same idea but I will just modify my codpieces since they are separate already. Don't forget to move the velcro from the bund, if you have that, to the undersuit AND the codpiece to get everything sitting where it should.

 

Btw, will we modify the CRL now since it says:

- There is no gap between the belt and cummerbund.

?

 

 

Now, where did I put that sewing machine...

As of right now, no. We don't want to see a gap between the belt and bund, where you can see the black undersuit. Is that what you mean?

Yes. Just thinking in line of "bund edge in line with the belt", i.e minimum gap.

No you wouldnt see any undersuit because the codpiece passes under the cummerbund on the actual scout. The bund is supposed to end at the belt or just a bit below it.

 

Also, I dont think there's any need to talk about modifying the CRL at this time until we see some good mock-ups of these changes and we're able to replicate the look in a screen-accurate manner.

Christian you are a machine!

 

My only question is about the pouches. In the "Costumes" pic (and on Gino's scout), they seem to be more square shaped than rectangular. Does anybody else think this?

You are right Mickey,

In fact I made the pouches more squared. But seeing the pics not looks squared because the inner foam are rectangular LOL.

 

Other important point is make the pouches and cummerbund depending your height. I use three sizes depending the body height and the frame body depending the weight.

 

Here a pic with the actual shape:

You have to have the end of the scrotch shorter so it ends right before the correspomding area of the suit. Otherwise you always get the camel toe.

Yes, I saw the detail. My assistant (wife) attached the black elastic too tense. :mellow:

 

I want take pics with the armor, or almost some parts. I'll try to do it for give a better reference.
