mariellejaworski Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 In my opinion the holster is to low on the boot... oowww man... you right... I hope in this way the boots can pass the 501st to, else I believe I would have to buy new boots :S does someone know how I can change this without having to buy new boots??? :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gero_am Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 for the future, I'm thinking to attach the holster with magnets and put the rivet only visual. doing this you can change the holster if broken and have the boot perfect. IMPORTANT I don't now if that is valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMPORTANT I don't now if that is valid Sorry man...you need to rivet the holster to the boot. I don't think the magnets will keep the holster secured. I do know of at least one person using Chicago screws so it could be removed. That was okay since it still looked like a rivet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariellejaworski Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 at this moment I am busy with the riding patches... I do not have the fabric yet to make it unfortunatly... but I have a question... would this be around the right size for a riding patch of my bikerscout costume? ..... I know..... it's a bit a weird picture, but I had to post it to let you see how it fits me..... greetings, marielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southscout Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think it looks pretty good size wise. Take care with the elastic around the leg, it's easy to place too low on the thigh and it's a pain to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariellejaworski Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 the bikerscout greeblie on the tank is on and I bought also today some velcro and elastic to make the riding patches and the white fabric to cover the shoulders does anyone know if the elastic (3th picture) is good enough to use for the riding patches? still to do list...: 1. the mudflap 2. the riding patches 3. hide the zipper from my undersuit 4. the regtanggular area on the right breast still needs to be painted medium or dark grey 5. chest and back armor over the shoulder, the gap needs to be covered with a loop of white fabric 6. and the white painted circle and the red line detail still have to be painted 7. black stripe detail has to be put on, on the tank on the back 8. possible rank indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariellejaworski Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 can someone please help me a bit out :S I really don't know if this elastic is good enough for the bikerscout riding patches..... (see picture above!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandatrooper Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Should be fine as long as its 2" wide and not too loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariellejaworski Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 thank you Pandatrooper!!! and here I am test fitting my white fabric for the bikerscout shoulders before I am going to sew them tomorrow. this looked like the best way to put it around the shoulder for me : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandatrooper Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey Marielle, can you bring the front and back armor closer together? If you can close the gap, it would look better if you can make a canvas bridge much shorter. I made mine longer like yours on my build but got feedback to make it smaller. Upon looking at more reference pics, I agree with them. I have some more of that elastic that I used, but it's quite narrow - won't cover your gap. That's why I ask, perhaps you can use something similar? Good luck, build coming along nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
