Well, right in time for Dragon Con, I have everything done and ready! Here's the shots I got

Helmet acquired and goggles tinted, just waiting for some helmet pads so it'll fit properly, after that the costume is basically done

Alright got everything set up now, just need my bucket

OK We're almost there, had to get and paint a new belt, it's drying now, then I gotta assemble the TK belt I bought, but here's some more progress pictures along with my canteen I was talking about doing up earlier!

It's entirely possible you got one in Ranger Green rather than OD, which is SUBSTANTIALLY darker a color Military colors are weird, do you have a pic of it?

I did not, it's possible you might have gotten a completely different color somehow Also thank you for the comments on the pouches and the help, it's much appreciated!!

Alright patches have arrived, pouches have been modified, and uniform has been suitably weathered All that's left now is to receive my helmet, darken the lenses on my goggles, and get my blaster and TK belt with holster

Ok got all of the pouches set up and mounted on the belt, I will be replacing the buckles soon but just wanted to go ahead and post the setup I have

And as for the buckles I'm just gonna replace those with some simple velcro straps, yeah

No no I meant the cog on the canteen itself, just to have a silly thing to have water in

OKAY Been a hot minute while life has gotten in the way but I have bought both patches as well as an assortment of pouches as listed below Condor OD SMG pouch x1 (I wanted to keep parity with the MP40 pouches TKs wear) OD Canteen pouch x1 (I will be using a square OD canteen with an Imperial Cog decal on it, star warsy enough I think) Condor handcuff pouches x2 Condor large utility pouch x1 (Going on the back of the belt to use as a buttpack) And finally a Condor double grenade pouch for thermal detonator props

Readjusted and painted the harness, got some good pictures of the front and back Also applied oil to age the suit a bit :3

Well it took most of the night and MANY poked fingertips but I've added a placket and the chevron with green snap to my jumpsuit, as well as removed all of the velcro patch spots I'll do some aging after to help conceal the stitches (Mud, oil, etc)

That's honestly fair, I intend to use a TK belt to cover that part up haha

The hooks shouldn't be visible once the pouches are on but if they still are I'll move it down for sure That's actually right where the belt should sit believe it or not, but I'm used to using alice belts in their real life configuration so my perception for it is a bit skewed And yeah I'll paint the harness once I have all the other bits

Another update: Got the gloves in the mail finally and my GOD are they stiff, gonna have to use some leather oil to soften em up

Some more updates, tried everything on and shortened the harness

Painted my boots, belt, and goggles, as well as received the harness Currently making payments to Intergalactic Supply for the helmet, and after that I just gotta get the pouches and modify the jumpsuit

Update: Bought a new, more suitable coverall as well as the gloves Just gotta remove the velcro for the patches and make some very basic mods

So unfortunately Elbeco discontinued their jumpsuits and alternatives have been very short in supply. Managed to find this tactsquad one but it does need some modification, although that was expected. Gonna cut the flaps off an old OD bdu for the pockets and likely fashion a placket out of the fabric as well. After that I will be buying the boots and pouches. Excited to start!

Hello, I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm aware the CRL is just regular nylon webbing for the harness. Unfortunately, a few years ago I broke my shoulder and I've since found through my other cosplays that a load bearing harness without shoulder padding is extremely uncomfortable for me to wear. So, my question is, would a *very* similar style of H Harness with padding be acceptable? Like this?
