Great work so far Marielle! You are so very close now!

[mariellejaworski]

the holster on the boot is also on

 

 

greetings,

Marielle

 

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

[Gero_am]

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

You should be fine; I would not change it at this point.

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.

alright

then I will leave it this way

 

I am not totally going for ''lancer'' status, but I am trying my best as far as I can to change some stuff to get it more accurate

[mariellejaworski]

my boots are already a bit ´´dirty´´ hahaha

Very cool stuff Marielle!!

 

Hope your foot is okay! get well soon!

[mariellejaworski]

thank you Jim and Etienne, my foot is healing pretty quick I can walk on it again!

[mariellejaworski]

here is a little list of what I still have to do :

 

 

need to do still:

 

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. on the tank on the back the greeblie still has to be put on

7. and the white painted circle and the red line detail still have to be painted

8. black stripe detail has to be put on, on the tank on the back

9. possible rank indicators

[mariellejaworski]

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

[Southscout]

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.

[mariellejaworski]

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

[mariellejaworski]

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!)

[Pandatrooper]

Should be fine as long as its 2" wide and not too loose.

[mariellejaworski]

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 :

 

[Chex]

Getting there. Keep it up!

[mariellejaworski]

thanks chex!!!

 

today I did sew a little part of the undersuit to hide the zipper

it's still in prgress and not done yet, but soon it will

 

 

greetings,

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!
