Recommended Posts

You're looking great and I've been following you for encouragement (and bleeding stories) especially with my cursed boots :lol:. Maybe talk to one of the armorers or Pandatrooper they're all really pros at making the SC armor look awesome no matter what! I still can't wait to see your approval pics so get to work Pathfinder! :bikerscout:

Are you using slots for the forearm strap as well, like the bicep? Just isn't clear to me from the pic.

I snagged mine for $19.00 from the local Kmart. I've sent items to Japan and I know it isn't cheap unless you have an APO.

ok I added the supplied Velcro supplied by SC to the new belt I have.

then I added the strap to the belt.

Being one of the troopers that had extra ewok at the BBQ dinner I attached the strap a little farther in.....attached it to the inside of the first box and then I secured it to where the end of the belt is with glue and a pop rivet

Don't eat too many of them ewoks or else you'll have to rivet 2 belts together :lol:

mmmmmmmm.....Ewoks

 

How about a frosty chocolate milkshake to go with your ewok-burger Sir?

 

You know what they call an ewok-burger in France?

 

Royale with cheese....

ok so I have done some more....not a lot but progress

 

I added some stirrups to the bottom of the flight suit. I used 1 1/2 elastic for the loops

IMAG0774_zpshmhekbjh.jpg

belt is at my actual waist or maybe a little high

I'd drop the belt to where it naturally rides at the top of your hips Jim. Looks a little high to me from that pic.

 

I thought about doing the stirrup setup on my flightsuit as well, and then decided against it . I just didn't want something to potentially cause a blister when I could keep the pants leg down with velcro inside the boot. Let us know how it works out for you.

@ wookievader - belt should rest on your hip bone or as close to
