What sizes and lengths do I need to complete my Mandalorian Biker Scout? I see there is a bag of replacements on stuido creations website, but it costs $80. I cant afford that especially when I need to buy 2 sets for my wife and myself.

 

I am going over the CRL's and I see a few things listed:

Most of the armor attachments say 3/4" or 1" ribbed. Do certain armor pieces need smaller and others need larger?  Also is there  certain brand and how much should I buy?

The chest armor needs 1.5" or 2" elastic. Is there a specific brand and how much should I buy?

Belt says I need 1.5" straps and 4 black buckles. Is there a specific brand and how much should I buy?

"Black elastic measures either 3/4 or 1 inch and is ribbed." means it's your choice as to which width you want to use. Either are acceptable.

For 2 kits, I doubt you'd need more than 2 yards of most types, in total. That'll also give you some wiggle room if you cut a section too short and need more.

The ribbed elastic type is this style:

The 1.5" elastic is not very particular, this is the style:

1.5" polypro webbing for the drop boxes. Will prob need 4 yards for 2 kits:

Buckles, use these:

Thank you so much for that post, that is exactly what I needed. So I decided to pull out my armor and measure the various strap cut outs in my armor pieces and double check before I purchase anything.

Shoulder armor - no cutout so I can use 3/4" or 1"

Upper Arm Armor - cutout is 1"

Forearm Armor - cutout is 3/4"

Knee Armor - cutout is 1"

Belt - I'll get that 1.5" nylon

Looks like it will be best if I just get a bunch of 3/4" ribbed elastic.

 

Again, thank you so much for helping me out. You might want to make some kind of sticky post about these materials for future recruits.
