TD-4395 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 helmet and chest and back are just taped together but every belt is trimmed i have a few questions: What kind of filler do i use for the helmet to make it seamless? i figured bondo but are there anyothers? Does anyone have a pattern for a smaller cumberland/pouches? does the back and chest connect like a tk with elastic straps at the shoulders, and sides? Do the bikerscout gloves come in a size small enough for a toddler? and lastly what material is the belt made out of? Sorry about all of the questions but never built a biker scout before. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miqt Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I used a wide mens belt painted white (tulips fabric paint or ecoflow leather paint to avoid cracking). I almost always use flexible fillers- but especially on kids gear. flexible 'plastic surgery' by dominion sure seal is my weapon of choice but there are many (auto body supply shop). For a toddler: print out the pouch templates on this forum (fit to page on 8.5x11) print- check that out- should be the right size for a toddler. I used a velcro strip to attach chest and back covered by a white twill sleeve- same as the grown up kits. Good luck with the gloves- I suggest kids riding gloves (thats all i used for kids costumes) with homemade gauntlets sewn on. You can craft the ribbed section on the gloves if you're so inclined. I used 2 sided velcro throughout the build (wraps aroun onto itself) use that instead of elastic straps- works great. Hope this helps.
