Heavy

You´re welcome, that is why we are here - to help, and yes cardboard works fine, I wrapped mine with lots of gaffa tape to make them more sturdy and "waterproof" LOL Yes, I have foam on my knee armor, due to the same problem, as long as it is not noticeable.

Hi Welcome 😊 You´re on the right track -the pics are a bit blurry for me to see the details, but nice work so far. The CRL for this costume is found here : Costuming:TX shadow scout - 501st Legion Databank It is a good thing to go point by point As to the shoulder bells, the elastic around the upper arm should hold them in place, but from my own experience it is not enough - velcro on the flakvest sleeve could do the trick, but I would recommend you to use the t-strap (elastic) at the shoulder bridge loops for security, then you´ll not loose them. Your pouches will need some filling as they do not hang loose like the snowtroopers does. Most use some sort of stabil insert box for them. You´re almost there 😉

Same with the neck seal and holster : Neck Seal Black with horizontal ribs, fitted to the wearer, and extending from the base of the neck to conceal the entire neck. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Prohibited for a accurate style costume. _______________________ Holster None is present.

Great job on this 😄

Welcome, looking forward to follow this WIP 😉 If you have any questions, we are here to assist

I don´t see any flap, but there could be a seat patch - it is really hard to see.

Following the CRL and just wanted to say this is looking really great, you guys are doing one h... of a job on this 😄 I agree with Jordan regarding the colors of the under arm attachment and shoulder bridge

Congratulations 🙂

Congrats 😄

I have an army engineer, even at specialist level, which I wouldn´t be able to have done, if it weren´t for you in here, who helped me. Spec. Ops is the home for my costume, no one else wanted to touch it and in here we have been taken in just like all the other costumes as part of the pack. Regarding a new detachment, perhaps in the future, but putting us into IOC ? no thank you. I am pleased to hear, that Spec. Ops is getting the new Andor Imp. Army Troopers, let´s get them to feel at home here.

With Andor showing new army costumes, I have no doubt that an Imp. Army detachment perhaps could be the way forward, though I also like the idea of detachment squads - I am open to both and would like to offer my help if needed. Moving us to IOC ? no, it wouldn´t feel like the right place for the costumes. Already a member of IOC, so it has nothing to do with the detachment ?

Mine is this - I removed the strap and velcro, added the snaps for specialist level. https://www.bodyarmoroutlet.com/collections/pouches/products/condor-modular-gas-mask-pouch-black https://shop.militaryrange.eu/product/modular-gas-mask-pouch-black-ma11002

Thanks for the tag David. Great to see another engineer on the way :-) I have sewn my own suit, since I always have problems finding the right size in a coverall. My hipps just wont fit in a size that is right for my short height LOL I got my pouches and belt from aliexpress and the gas mask pouch from the e bay, I couldn´t find any in Europe either. I was a bit nervous getting them from China but luckily it is not cheap materiale + great prices. Since it has been a couple of years, sadly those I got them from, has closed. But just search for : military molle pouch phonecase, handcuff case, gas mask, multi modular storage big pouch and a lot comes up. Hope it helps - looking forward to seeing you in the ranks Chris.
