Eagleskull Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Hello Pathfinders! Been on the forums for a bit... scouting and doing my recon and I think its finally time to add a progress thread. Currently just getting my items together and hopefully after the holidays begin to build my armor. Helmet: Don Post that I heavily modified. Armor: MonCal missing the pistol holster so hopefully be able to find one on the forums. Gloves: Wampa Wear Jumpsuit: Modified jumpsuit(WIP) Boots: Works boots from Walmart that I will build up(WIP) Cummerbund and Vest: Need to do research and sew up myself. Sidearm: Hyperfirm. Hopefully have more progress pictures as I continue my build and guidance from you all. -Adriel 1
Greedo10360 Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Looking forward to watching it all come together!
Forest Ranger Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Great start so far! I'm excited to see your progress.
Eagleskull Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Thank you all for the kind words! Im very excited to finally start this project. Some progress on my boots, I accidentally got the steel toe boots first when started but went back and got something easier to work with haha Hopefully getting some days off work to finally work on the armor.
Retrofire Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Boots are looking great. Nice stretch on the toes! Don't forget the stitching on the dogbones.
Eagleskull Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you, followed some good advice here and before adding the glue, while pinned I left it in my car on some hot days. I have a quick question, started to strap my armor and I was wondering; When putting on the armor... do you over head it like putting on T-shirt?
Retrofire Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you, followed some good advice here and before adding the glue, while pinned I left it in my car on some hot days. I have a quick question, started to strap my armor and I was wondering; When putting on the armor... do you over head it like putting on T-shirt? Yes. Both of my straps on my chest and back armor are Velcro hook so I release one and put my arms through and over my head and pull it down then refasten the strap. Sometimes I'll go ahead and release both and drop it over my head and clamshell it if it's catching on my vest.
Eagleskull Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Awesome. Thanks you for the clarification. I'll have to go back and add more length to the side straps to add room for when I make the vest.
