MrPoopie Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I should have all my supplies by the end of the week. Do we have a standard size yet for the faulds?

I need to see them on someone. My Shoretrooper faulds are about 10 inches in height. I imagine the MT ones would be close in size. 1

MrPoopie Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Here you go. I think the width is probably pretty close the height is wrong and I had to hike it up to a reasonable place. Obviously we'll need to leave some extra material on top so that they can be attached to the belt somehow (velcro, straps, a feed through section for the belt). It all depends on how the belt is put together but velcro is probably the best solution. The pouch is a regulation size Scout pouch for comparison. I'm also wearing much tighter pants than the costume pants would be. For reference I'm 5'10" and waist is 32". [/url 1 1
BikerScout007 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 Yeah width looks good. But bottom should hit closer to mid thigh.

I think they might still need to come up another 1.5" from where I had them sitting. Does the belt sit roughly where the Scout belts sits near the waist not hips?

Does the belt sit roughly where the Scout belts sits near the waist not hips? Yes. The belt is worn on the waist. Like the Scout and Shoretrooper 1

Can you pop a pic of the Black Series figure into Photoshop, blow him up to 6 feet tall and then approximate the sizes off that? That's what I would do
heartstopper85 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Agree on width good. Height too muchSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
heartstopper85 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Height I'm guessing is 9 or 10in not sure what height it is nowSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

That's what I would do After doing some calculations assuming the toy is 6" it looks like the faulds are just a hair over 11" long. I'll probably add another 2 inches to the top so that it can be attached to the belt so 13" in total in height. Does that sound right to everyone? 1 1
heartstopper85 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Probably real close imo. That's how I got height for pouch which is around 9inSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk 1

It sounds right since the MT fauld looks a wee bit longer than the ST fauld, but as usual, seeing is believing.
MrPoopie Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I'll cut a piece of fabric and see if it looks right before I start cutting a bunch of parts and putting it all together. 1

Got a local friend to make me gaiters since I couldn't even do that. If these are made with velcro on the tops will you be able to attach the velcro to the belt or did you have another method in mind for attachment?

BikerScout007 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 Yeah I definitely think velcro is the way to go here. At some point it might be better to snap to the torso armor, since the faulds are supporting pouches, but for our purposes velcro should work

heartstopper85 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I use a strap on the pouch by itself that hooks under the belt to the plastic that supports the belt.I also have an h type harness I use for all my kits I just addedSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk 1
