Eyeslave Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So I had some suggestions on updates which I am working through. Pics to follow. So quick question. I have been wondering about the slots detail on the holster. Are these cut out? References pics that made me wonder http://www.bikerscout.net/forum/uploads/1144441146/gallery_1_4_25256.jpg http://www.bikerscout.net/forum/uploads/1144441146/gallery_1_4_24864.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyeslave Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks Joe. I thought not, but seeing the attached pics and others I have seen I thought it worth checking. Shadows, grit & all sorts sometimes make it hard to judge an image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah, I believe it's just weathering in the notches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ok, updates. As suggested, I have used the zip tie method to attach shoulder bells. Currently I have used Velcro which give me adjustment. No issues so far at troops. Chest to back strap have also been resized as suggested Shoulder bells have been shortened & reshaped as suggested My hump was pretty well attached, so I added the strap for visual look only. I may look at doing the complete strap system later down the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah, I believe it's just weathering in the notches. Makes sense Jim, and the pull on the detail looks pretty sharp which would catch dirt well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 So, after careful thought, I decided to redo my weathering the spray can method. I did the scratches etc. Before the paint dried. In person it's a bit more weathered looking, but in natural light it looks more subtle. I took pics in direct sunlight and you would barely notice the weathering. I think I need to see how it looks in pics in various lights at a few events before I settle on it. Excuse the dressing mistakes. I quickly put it on & forget my vest & cumb is badly done up . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyeslave Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think like me, you'll be glad you did I used barbecue paint . Scratches were done with a zip tie ran in random directions before the paint dried, so while creating the white wear it also created the black scratches. Anything too heavy I rubbed back with some cleaner & a light scrubber. I didn't want to scratch the armor too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Started work on the cummerbund. Separated & shortened. I am going to make my pouches smaller so I think I need to make the bund slightly shorter again. Going to have to make a new cod piece next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunPug Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Weathering is on point! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunPug Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Quick point, you can clearly see on the blu ray costume reference and the one from the costumes book (which I think are actually the same suit pictured at different times) that the slots on the holster are cut out. It's tough to tell from screen grabs, but I'd say there's precedence for either. Mine are cut out.

Chopper Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Does this shed any light on the holster question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Interesting guys. It certainly opens up the question a bit more. I don't have a Blu-ray, but it would definitely be worth getting some decent screen grabs . That's a great pic that Corey posted, but it may be viewed as cut outs​ or shadows.

cheesewhoopy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 That's a tough call, but to me they look like they were cut out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yeah that def looks like it was hit with a dremel cut out tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Corey's screen grab does look like they were cut out. The bluray shot is definitely cut out. The Motm looks cut, or an extremely sharp pull. It's definitely worth discussing yah or nah I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Resized my Bund for the 2nd time and I think it's the perfect size now. Cut my pouches apart & redrew the pattern to a smaller size. A quick test fit & I am pretty happy. The bund sagged in the middle when I took the picture so I will be adding velco/ clip to attach it in the centre of my undersuit so it stays lined up perfectly. Next I need to scratch build a new cod piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
