Tantive1 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 Dude, I love your work ethic. You knocked that stuff out in 24 hours. Kudos! I think you may need to move your pouches out a bit more. It looks like they’re sitting on the seam of the last rib on either side. They should sit 1” out from that seam. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks chap, the advice is all massively helpful!Right no problem. I'll move them out further.
Tantive1 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 Huge thanks to everyone taking the time to advise on my WIP.I'll go for another full kit up tomorrow taking into account the feedback.
BikerScout007 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Is your bund closing all the way in the back? It looks like it was coming open a bit. Or did you just struggle to put it on by yourself? I know that can be a pain to do alone. I usually put the bund on backwards to close it up and then spin it around once I've gotten it closed.

Question, if you put it on backwards and then spin it, is it attached between your legs? Mine has a strap running from the bottom of the cod between my legs and up to the lower part of the Velcro close at the back.

Mine has a strap running from the bottom of the cod between my legs and up to the lower part of the Velcro close at the back. My codpiece is attached to my vest. The strap then connects to the back of the vest, so I put that on first and then the cummerbund. 1
Tantive1 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks all for the advice, much appreciated as ever.No pictures tonight as I'm doing some bund and Cod modifications. - The plan is to extend the elastic that runs between the legs, add some Velcro to the back of the closed bund to allow it to attach there. This should allow for the cod/ bund to go higher.- I'm going to lower the belt on the bund which in turn should also allow for the bund to be raised.All of this should mean that the cod will sit higher and lose the baggy cod look.I'm also going to look to reinforce the cod in the bottom third to stop the material gathering and causing the pinching, it should make it sit more flat against the crotch.More pictures tomorrow night! 2
Tantive1 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 Hey all,Two nights instead of one but this was due to the decision to strengthen the front of the cod to make it sit more flat against my abdomen.I've also lengthened the elastic, lowered the belt on the bund which enabled me to hoike the bund, cod and belt up. The cod was also moved higher behind the bund..........3D jigsaw springs to mind!I've also moved the pouches out to ensure the ribs and clear on either side. I hope I've addressed all the advice and comments made, they are all really appreciated. 1
Chopper Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Hey Chris, great work keeping on it! For level 1/basic clearance, the only thing that I really see is that the top edge of your suede butt flap appears to be attached below the bottom of your bund? It's always super hard to tell with black on black, but it looks that way in the rear photo? Can you confirm? As per the CRL: "A suede or faux suede butt flap attaches above the waist hidden by the cummerbund, rectangular in shape." 1
Tantive1 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply.Easy confirm.......the suede butt flap is rectangular and only attached at the top.Thanks!
Tantive1 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Ah, with you.......I can't really tell but certainly not something I've noticed in previous kit ups. If it is then I'm chalking it up to a dressing issue. Do you want me to kit up again?

Do you want me to kit up again?Chris The guys have gave you excellent advice and you have done very well Just so you are aware Pathfinders don’t give you clearance to join pathfinders with submitting pictures for basic. Once you have cleared your costume with the UKG armourer then the UKG GML, all you need to do is report in and add a link to your 501st page showing your cleared Scout You then will be given full access.If you wish to go for level 2 Lancer with your scout later then that is all done here on Pathfinders with submitting pictures to the Lancer team.

Just for clarity, the circled green area was what I was looking at. If the top edge of the butt flap is attached below the belt and bund, (and it looks like there's a gap?) then it should be adjusted prior to sending photos to your gml.
Tantive1 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 And cleared.Thank to everyone who offered help, support and advice.You're all heroes. 1
