Tarragon Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just placed an order with SC for the armour + helmet. It's not for me, but for my daughter. It will be her first 501st Legion costume since turning 18 in March. Time to get her on the front lines rather than as a wrangler / photographer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 It's all looking very good so far! Did you use the "visor glass" that comes with it? i hear it's really difficult to see through the SC visor. I'm wondering how you attached (on the inside) the straps going down the front of the belt towards the hip boxes. I have seen several ways and still not sure how to attach those beltstraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarragon Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yes, I used the SC green visor. I wonder if the person who said it was difficult to see through the visor had removed the protective film from both sides prior to looking through it 😂 I’ll take some photos of how I attached the hip Box strapping. I just glued them in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarragon Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Here are some photos from last weekend. I have shortened some of the elastic lengths. I still need to shorten the height of the shoulder bells. New decals have arrived for the tank. Awaiting new end caps & 15mm elastic to arrive, then we’ll be submitting photos for approval.
