Build Thread - ROTJ Scout

[Scaraman2112]

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!

The boots arrived and I have placed the order for the armour and helmet parts!

First pouch mostly done. Side flaps to do and iron out the shape of the front flap and overall pouch

Some more progress made! Flight suit has been adjusted to fit me better and finished up the cummerbund and attached the pouches.

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.

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.
