Ewok Hunter

If it's from Bolivia it's Christian's helmet. He does post his stuff on Ebay and I got my soft parts from him through his Ebay auctions. He does good work and people on the BSN forums have liked his helmet once they do get it. Unfortunately he can be a little slow, and US Customs is even slower in delivering it to the Post Office. People get his because it has the biggest inside dimensions and some of us have heads too big for an SC bucket to close properly.

Those are not the most comfortable way to blouse the pant legs. Try these instead. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Velcro-Blousing-Garters-Set/dp/B000HKNAB4/ref=sr_1_3/185-2832797-0207920?ie=UTF8&qid=1412518682&sr=8-3&keywords=military+blousing+straps

Lack of skills. I foolishly thought the scout wouldn't be much more than attaching or gluing a few things and adjusting some straps to make it fit right. Been thinking about selling the kit before I start in, break something and end up having spent $500 on what would end up as worthless plastic. Been looking at the instructions and they may as well be in penguin with how much I understand them.

Not sure if I will be able to finish this one.

May not matter anymore, but the bund/pouches and flak vest arrived today from Bolivia.

Finally found it after I showed up with printouts of the tracking and demanded to know why it had not been delivered yet. It looks like everything is there and now I am trying to decipher the assembly instructions.

Local post office has no clue where it is now....

USPS isn't being any better for domestic. Got my shipping notice from SC the other day and according to the tracking number it went out for delivery on Wednesday morning but no updates after that and no box here. It's insured and has delivery confirmation, but I am now getting worried.

Yeah, but a shadow trooper with some LED's on it would still look awesome. Do it in the same areas as a TFU trooper, but maybe go with red instead of blue.

Nice pic. Grats!

For short term undersuit adjustments you could do what we did to jeans back in the 80's and peg the legs of it. This will tighten it at the shoulders, hips and legs. Long term you may want to consider alterations since even on the Mountain Garrison forums a few of the women have mentioned it since these suits are usually made for male figures and not female.

Grats!

Does the collar need to be flipped up on these? All the pics I have seen of it they have it flipped up. It doesn't look like your undersuit came with one, but if you put a black cloth strap across the throat area you could flip the collar up and maybe even the zipper as well to hide them. Mine is more of a military flight suit style so when the zipper is all the way up it flips the collar up for you and hides it with a strap about 1 1/2" wide.

I might want one of these down the road.

Yep, just at the mercy of wait times, and US Customs for a couple of items.

Same here. The frown with the teeth and the mirrored "soulless" eyes on this one just has a menacing look to it.

Nice work on the bund/pouches, but isn't the bottom part supposed to be gray? Or is it just the lighting in the pics?

The back of the belt has a rectangular black box with short black corrugated hose. I think this is the CRL reference for it, so I'd go with black.

So the last of what I need is ordered, paid for an SC kit yesterday.

Someone on my garrison forum pointed me to this on BSN. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10759 I like it mostly because I don't have to sew it. Any thoughts on looks? Does the elastic have to be secured all the way around the leg or does it hang from where it is secured under the suede and just keep close? Also ordered my helmet from CB since his are slightly bigger than most, but I'm a big guy with a big head, neck and shoulders so it should look good on me, and most importantly, fit me.

So would I need two of those?

Nice work. The orange cup is a nice touch.

Got my flightsuit in yesterday in between helping out at Wings over the Rockies and the garrison meet and greet. I grabbed a piece of pig suede from Tandy, so I'll be looking to make the patches and get them on once I find a way to sew leather. Is there anywhere that has the dimensions for the patches? Going to be calling around tomorrow to check prices and lead times for my armor.

Boots are always hard for me to find. I was told it might take extra time to source mine when I ordered since I wear a 13 EEE. I am not able to just walk into a store and find shoes I like AND fit me very often.

Small update. I ordered some boots, and I got my shipping notice on the bund/pouches and vest a few days ago. Slowly moving along.
