UCFWayne Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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: https://www.etsy.com/listing/51705512/black-34-1-1-14-strong-non-roll-elastic The 1.5" elastic is not very particular, this is the style: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1092833089/beyond-trim-sewing-elastic-knit-elastic 1.5" polypro webbing for the drop boxes. Will prob need 4 yards for 2 kits: https://www.etsy.com/listing/772977966/white-polypro-strapping-1-12-wide-by Buckles, use these: https://www.amazon.com/J-CARP-Release-Adjustable-Replacement-Backpack/dp/B09JZ92HK5?th=1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFWayne Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 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.
