BikerScout007 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 The problem is that the tube wasn't a tube at all in the film. It was some sort of rod with a telephone-like wire wrapped around it. So the accordion tubes that we use are just approximations. My SC tube is about 11 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter, if that helps.
BlizzardScout Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Totally helps, SC sells the TD kit and just the boss, so I am going to see if get just the hose and caps. Thanks Mickey. 1
BlizzardScout Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Once again Jeff comes through and can ship just the hose and end caps. The KS is getting even more of a SC hybrid. Truth be told, I want to try the hose and telephone cable style from the "original parts" section. 2
BlizzardScout Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 Sorry for the pic size, don't know why are so small.
Retrofire Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Looking good Patrick! I noticed your drop boxes didn't have the buckles though. Was that just a fitment check? How it feel to put on the armor ?
BlizzardScout Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks Peter. With the drop boxes I was wait no on my cotton webbing from Jontay to come in and fit/practiced pandas techniques on some extra nylon. Thanks for the lookout though. Also, it felt amazing to be able to put it on. Even knowing there is so much "polishing" left to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Griffin-X Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Looking good! The dogbone on the boots is a bit too long. It should stop before the sole, and not overlap. I'd trim that and reattach. 1
BlizzardScout Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks griff. That is an easy enough fix. I was over compensating from my earlier cut outs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Griffin-X Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Cool, so far everything is coming along nicely. Do you plan to cut the grooves in the boot soles, too?
BlizzardScout Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 I am. There is visible stitching on the sole so I think I'll have to use another base boot to build a lancer set. But I still want put the grooves if for nothing but to practice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
