Hi Nicholas,

Who in Texas made your boots? Hopfully it's not CABoots.

The rest sounds like your on your way. The SC kit is great & can be put tgether in a day.

It was a guy named Timothy... I don't know if he goes by any "company" or "organization" name. I have them in my possession, and they look/fit great. I think he did a great job. Probably not the person you are thinking of.

 

** Update **

Got the balaclava yesterday, and I am doing the TD and back tank/hump in the next day or two! Super excited to get out there and scout.

Thanks Nexous. Will do. I have been very meticulous in this. I think my approval will be quick and easy, but I am very open to corrective criticism. I can't wait! Only a matter of days now.

I got the helmet from Jeff (SC). Looks pretty nice. He places a lot of really nice removable (velcro) padding inside, and does a pretty film-accurate ABS chin cup now! All I have to do is color/cap the bolts at the pivot point (they're just exposed stainless now), paint part of the inside black, and cut out the "ear holes." I may also try to make the lens cut out a bit more accurate, as the way Jeff does it, it is slightly too rounded. Overall, a really nice product for the price. I look forward to having this done.

 

I should be approvable in a matter of a few days now!

*Updated*

 

Modified my helmet so the bolt heads are better, cut out the ear holes, and removed the lens and re-cut the lens area to be much more film-accurate. The SC helmet is pretty nice, but the lens hole is not very accurate with the template Jeff gives. I'll try to post some pics later illustrating what I mean. (I think the pics might be best served in the helmet comparison thread)

 

I am just going to sew some velcro onto my knees in the coveralls to keep them centered and in the right place, then I'll probably get some velcro on my bund and vest to keep the bund exactly where I want it to stay. Then I should be ready to take my approval photos! Wooooooo!
