Scaraman2112 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Finally starting on my build after clearing up a few things! Starting out on the soft parts while I await the armour pieces so getting my patterns drawn up from the information on the scout information threads but finally excited to get it started! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaraman2112 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 First pouch mostly done. Side flaps to do and iron out the shape of the front flap and overall pouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaraman2112 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Some more progress made! Flight suit has been adjusted to fit me better and finished up the cummerbund and attached the pouches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hello Scaraman, Love you choice in armour. Outstanding you're making your own. Personally I would've fitted the belt and chest piece before calculating where the bun is to start and finish. So be aware you may need to some adjusting, one size doesn't fit all... being under 5 foot my measurements are very different to others. Now in saying that your pouches... the ends they don't look flat they seem to have an off angle? Also they don't seem to be fitted on the top as well. I had to make a couple before I got mine right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I have seen that on the bottom of the pouch need to look again or make a new flap. I haven't fully finished the pouches as you pointed some areas of the finish but waiting on the armour to finalise. I do have them velcroed on so should be simple to adjust.
