Aliaz Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 How should the buckles be aligned on the drop box straps? Just noticed I have them in different ways in the front so good thing I’m asking before I sew them to the back of the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 My advice is to put a bit of velcro on the ends and on the belt. You can then move them about if needs be. As I recall the buckles are 'bar down'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliaz Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Boots arrived today from chrisx909x, Very happy with them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Still have to finish the tank (put the topper on and rivet it in place) and the holster but other than that I feel pretty happy with the armor pieces. Just have to crack on with the bund, cod, pouches and riding patches/flap now. And some velcro on that Damn bicep armor. â€Honey, there are ewoks in the house!†2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Some progress atleast. Happy with the pouches (maybe a bit wide) and bund (Although I forgot to add enough fabric for the overlap so my wife will have to put up with doing it again...) Going to be down to the wire to finish everything before the TLJ premiere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Got a little friday feeling so decided to throw everything on now that the cumberbund is redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Looking great! The only nits I have are to pull the corner of that left pouch up a bit to square it with the other one and to pull your flight suit legs tight after you get your knees on and before you put your boots on. They look a little bunched around the knee/thigh area. Other than that looks like you’re ready to post in the pre-submission thread. Great work!

The pouches there are just being held up by being wedged under the chest armor, haven’t attached them properly yet but I will keep it in mind. Good point on the flight suit, I plan on putting some elastic straps on the bottom to prevent it from bunching up. Still have to add the riding patches/flap and attach the tank to the back armor and the holster to the boots before posting a pre-submission thread though. Was shooting for the TLJ premiere but I’ve kinda given up on that, I want to do it right and not just rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Finally got around to getting the tank attached to the back armor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Looking good. The addition of the elastic on the tank top is a great touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-41015 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 This is a top of the line WIP and really good to follow. I read in another post that you split the riding patch in two or more pieces. Do you still have images of that and could you tell what you did exactly? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one piece for the front part of the right leg, one for the left. And one piece for the back of the right leg, one for the left. Both me and my wife who did the sewing found this much easier to attach and it looks much better. I'll dig around for some photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
