Whiskey Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 First off, I'm not much of a poster. I find that I came in a bit late, and it seems like all my questions has been answered. It's just a matter of using the search engine. Believe me, I would've loved to throw out something innovative or inventive to the Scout community. That being said, I used many techniques already established. Well...here it is. I welcome constructive criticism I still need to replace the 3m bolts. And looking to pick up TD belt clips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's hard to tell with the pics, but there is real suede for the riding patches, 2" elastic bands, mud flap, and 1 rivet on either side of the belt Oh and notches cut into the boots and need to find a solution to the camel....appendage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Looking good. Just a few things you need to adjust. The pouchs need to be spread out a bit more and the knee rivets painted white. As for the camel toe try adding a bit of foam behind the cod piece. Just super small stuff! Your there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Roger that! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Throw some foam in those pouches to fill them out. or hell, do what I did at first and use plastic sandwich boxes. they work well too. Cod strap might be a little tight. You're getting a bit of the CT. Maybe put some sticky foam behind it to reinforce it But nice job overall. You should be able to clear basic pretty easily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova31 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Takes into account the advice given, it remains a good starting work. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasman06 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I use foam board, hot glue and duct tape to make two identical boxes, so the size is identical. Then you can put your keys and cell phone in them too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Looking good! As has been said, just a little tweaking and tidying up. I notice a little bunchy-ness in your sleeves. I had a major issue with that and ended up taking my sleeves in a bit. It's nothing that would hold up approval, but if it bugged you, it's fixable.

I had a major issue with that and ended up taking my sleeves in a bit. It's nothing that would hold up approval, but if it bugged you, it's fixable. I saw that as I was putting on all of the arm armor. I was considering adding leg stirrups and now finger loops on the sleeves as well. I should have updated pics this weekend. Thanks guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Overall, it looks good! You might want to move the pouches in towards the ribs as they still seem a bit far out. Speaking of pouches, what size are they? Also, don't forget to dye those brown bits on the gloves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks for the advice! I just ordered a new bund with pouches from cheesewoppy. These pouches are 7â€h x 5.5â€w. I’ll be sure the new pouches are spaced correctly. Maybe it’s the angle, but I thought I re-sewn them correctly. Should they be aligned with the outer most stitching? Yesterday the dye arrived from eBay. So I’m ready to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The pouches should be about an inch away from the edge of the L/R vertical stitch lines on the bund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 With this and my RS prop helmet and esprit gloves I’ll have a very close to screen accurate scout, once I get the RS armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
