The first of a thousand questions about my build...

[Chopper]

There isn't a lot to adjust, really. Nice work.

Bring your right pouch in a bit.

Take the shoulders out a bit more.

Bring up your belt.

Your belt boxes look like they're kicked forwards a bit.

Also, bring up your cod slightly and loosen the strap, so it's not crunching so much.

Don't mind the belt boxes - they aren't in a permanent position yet, as I am just trying to get everything else right first.  No shoulders because I just glued the bicep straps on, but there is plenty of strap and velcro to adjust those.  I put styrofoam in the bund pouches so they aren't so droopy.  I moved the right pouch a bit more forward, but any more and I would have to sew on some more hook velcro - that's where they were sewn on by the manufacturer.  Cod is not in a permanent place yet, either, but will be attaching that tomorrow morning.  For that, I was going to use the butt flap velcro to attach the back of the cod strap, then sew velcro to the vest for attaching the front of the cod - if that is ok.

I feel like I am getting close to starting the helmet.  Any good helmet build threads out there?  And what is the recommended liner?

If you have a SC helmet, then you can use the Kropserkel youtube video. For the most part, the assembly is pretty similar:

The production Scouts had a hard hat liner.  RS Props includes this setup in their helmets

I think most of us, including myself, use helmet pads.  

Like most things it's a matter of preference.  I found the hard hat liners gave me headaches so I removed mine and replaced it with helmet pads.

Still making adjustments.  The drop boxes are only taped on in front.  I need to adjust the velcro in my side strapping.  The arm armor will look better if someone helped me put it on, and that may need strap tightening, too.  I am hoping the TD will cover up any imperfections in the back of the belt.  I guess I have to attach the rear photo on the next post.
