cheesewhoopy Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I figured I'd start posting what I've done so far to get some feedback. My goal is lancer. I've already re done the cummerbund twice and the cod piece three times lol didn't realize how OCD this build would make me. I was fortunate enough to pick up a one piece belt and Chest plate from WTF. The chest plate fits my dimension much better than the SC which was just a bit too flat for me. Here's what I've got so far. I'm going to make the cod piece strap longer so it connects to my flak vest and not the cummerbund. Right now you can see the Velcro poking out and it's ugly. Any feedback is much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
cheesewhoopy Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 And I also did the wire wrapped thermal detonator tube and here are some shots of the flak vest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cheesewhoopy Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 For the thermal detonator clips I purchased a pair of wallet clips from amazon and then I used my Dremel with cutting wheel to make them have more depth. Its subtle but looks much nicer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Bobik96 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 It all looks really good to me! You nailed the cuts on the boot toes. The only thing that is not visible in the pics is the riding patch position while your wearing the cod. It's probably okay but I just couldn't see it. You will probably want to spread the pouches apart about an inch each direction. It all looks really fantastic. Here is a shot I took of the blue ray. I was measuring from the pouch to the outer bund stitch.

Once I get the right patch sewn on I'll take a picture with more light so they're more visible. As of right now they cover about half of my thigh and go down just under the knee armor.

Bobik96 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I would pin and post before you sew the riding patch. They should NOT go under the knee armor. The top should go under the cod.

I used this as reference and it looks to me like it goes under the knee. And I have the top under the cod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bobik96 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 There is some controversy over this photo. It's on a mannequin. The knees should be about an inch above the boots so that puts them too high. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Understood, my patches are just barely under the knee, but I'll see if I can tweak them to sit just above it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bobik96 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 If they are already attached, Talk to the armory team and / or your GML before you change anything. I'm just a dude who loves the Biker Scout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

cheesewhoopy Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 I decided to switch to off white pouches. Just sewed one of them and added some weathering, I like it much better than the white ones I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Retrofire Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Pouches look great! What was the pattern you used for those? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
cheesewhoopy Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Pouches look great! What was the pattern you used for those? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I actually made my own pattern for them. Here's a picture with the all the dimensions. The front flap is two piece sewn together then flipped inside out, ironed flat and then sewn to the pouch. And here's how they look on the bund Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cheesewhoopy Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Got some work done today. Chest and back are almost done and used zip ties on the shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kayelbe Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Not sure if you want to do the zip tie method that way. Disclaimer: I haven't switched from the "old" method yet, but I believe you don't want it "doubled up" like that. I have concerns it may "poof" out and not lay flat across your shoulder. EDIT: Well, strider did it that way and it looks pretty good, so....nevermind! Edited February 22, 2017 by kayelbe
ShaunPug Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I'll post a few picks of my setup in a few! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
cheesewhoopy Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 This isn't the greatest pic, but shows that zip ties lay pretty flat when everything is on, I'll probably tighten them so the shoulders are a little closer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ShaunPug Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 So here's my setup...Super simple and screen accurate. The secret here is the releaseable zip-tie head on the bell side. I cut it from a releaseable tie and used it here so that my shoulder bells are still removable on either end and can be adjusted on the bell side. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Ahhh that's a pretty unique way of doing it. I don't think I've seen that before in all the stuff I've read. I like that it's releasable. My way, I'd have to cut them off if I wanna change it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
