Torm Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Looks great trooper. A few things tho . The greebles on your thermal detonator are on the wrong side , your drop boxes are to low and you bags might need better placement . Also looks like the velcro on your left boot is not running up the middle of your leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canterbury Tail Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Also it looks like the closure on your cummerbund is the wrong way round. Should be right hand side over left hand side. With the TD I think the square greebles need turned the other way up and then the entire TD box rotated 180 degrees. The slightly larger side with the square bits should be on the left with the 2 squares pointed up. And yeah, I'd bring the pouches round so they're closer to the ribs. Should be mostly front mounted instead of side mounted. I can see some excess material sticking out from the straps around the dropboxes. Don't know if it's just because you haven't finalized the attachment and are waiting for feedback before final trimming. Also to avoid issues later I'd round off the corners on your armour. Belt, shoulders, bicep and forearm armour etc. Just a quick trim with a knife and a quick sanding will do it. Save you stabbing yourself with them. I am however insanely jealous that you're at the finish line however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbremen Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 yes the drop-boxes still have some straps in them for adjustment, didn't want to trim them until it was finalized. I wasn't sure about the cummerbund closure so I just velcroed the cod piece on so it will be easy to just flip it. Will be easy to flip the TD. I barely attached the pouches on the cummerbund because I wasn't sure about the positioning so it will be easy to move those. The only thing that will be problematic will be fixing the closure on the boot. Thanks for the input so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sweat the boots man. It looks to me like you have extra material. Hopefully you can just cut some off and attach Velcro again. I have removed boot stitching before. If your careful the holes close up and won't be seen. Here is a pic of the TD.

khazara Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 You're almost there! Here's a real easy fix: the bicep pieces with the t bits should be worn with the two dots facing the front. So just switch which arms you put them on :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Also, do you have the rivet on the bottom of the tank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobik96 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Here is a screen suit on a mannequin. Note the spacing of the pouches and the number of vertical ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
