Moncal Armor Build

[cheesewhoopy]

I recently purchased a set of moncal armor to replace my previous armor and wanted to share my progress on the build. 

I made all new softparts (Cummerbund, pouches, flight suit) and tea stained the pouches. 

Why does my helmet look different than other scouts? 😂

I purchased a new helmet as well, so I am waiting for that to come in. Should be here tomorrow. 

I tried to add some extra details this time around. Like the elastic on the back hump. 

This was just for fun. It's all about those details!

I also sewed the riding patches on today.

And that's all I've got so far.

Nice work Cheesewhoopy!

Did you get the new MonCal helmet as well? I didn't realize he'd released it yet?

Looks awesome and great attention to detail!

Be careful trying on different lids though could get you arrested....

Thanks! I did not. However, I was looking at photos of it on his Facebook page, and it looks awesome. I don’t think he has released it quite yet. I think he did a small b-grade run a little while back.

Yes, I believe it is 'out in the wild' now - I have three!

I don't want to entirely derail cheesewhoopy's build post, but if you had the time to post a review of the new MC helmets in a new thread, that'd be awesome.

Will do. Give me a day or two to set up some comparison images with my RS...

Looking forward to it

[cheesewhoopy]

Here is the how the EFX helmet looks with armor on. I need to adjust the placement of my shoulder bells so they come forward a little more. And I think I’ll make my flack vest shorter since you can see a bit of it at the bottom of my bund.

Pretty much done at this point. This was the best pic I could get at the moment. Things left to do:

-Add Velcro on sleeves so biceps don’t slip 

-Add Velcro so knees don’t slip 

-Might tweak the shoulders some more 

-Iron the right flap on the pouch because it got all wrinkled from tea staining. 

What do you guys think? Anything else I could tweak?

Dude, you look like Gino's scout mannequin in that photo.

Nice!
