Tarmac Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Doing a scout build for my wife. She'll be doing the soft parts and I'll be doing the armor Presently we've acquired a pair of extra small WW gloves, balaclava and a pair of hiking shoes that we think will work for the boots. Also got the white upholstery vinyl for the boots, and white duck fabric for the cummerbund. Full kit ordered from SC. Hopefully we'll be able to start on some sewing today and applying the vinyl to the boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks MJ! We got busy yesterday and started on the build. My wife is sewing the cummerbund and, as the SC kit came in, I started sanding and trimming pieces. I've assembled the thermal detonator and put the lens in the faceplate. Also started work on the boots. More work to be done today hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 My wife doesn't want to cut the shoulder bells. I say they need to be shortened. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Belt is now completely assembled. Chest armor is strapped, all arm and leg pieces are strapped. Cummerbund is done, except for codpiece, which has to be redone. Vest is done. Still need to sew on suede thigh patches and butt flap and finish boots.

Forest Ranger Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My wife doesn't want to cut the shoulder bells. I say they need to be shortened. Opinions? Shoulder bells need to be taken up, and trimmed around the corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
