cheesewhoopy Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 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. 3 Quote
Chopper Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Nice work Cheesewhoopy! Did you get the new MonCal helmet as well? I didn't realize he'd released it yet? 1 Quote

I think he did a small b-grade run a little while back. 1 Quote

cheesewhoopy Posted September 23, 2018 Author Posted September 23, 2018 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. Quote
cheesewhoopy Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 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? 3 Quote
Chopper Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Dude, you look like Gino's scout mannequin in that photo. Nice! 2 Quote
