Chopper Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZill Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I feel like I am getting close to starting the helmet. Any good helmet build threads out there? And what is the recommended liner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 If you have a SC helmet, then you can use the Kropserkel youtube video. For the most part, the assembly is pretty similar: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZill Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
