Chef[501st] Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I thought I'd start this on behalf of Phil, seeing as I am making most of the bits for him!! And you'll notice that I have correctly titled it as per how the Imperial Command would have us designated. Non of this rebel slander. This will also serve as reference to his Specialist Status Application as and when he has finished. No point in him going in at entry level now is there! So without further ado... Just finished his bund off today. As you'll see, it has 6 vertical stitch lines, creating 5 bars as per the latest research on BSN has shown, and it is complete with the arc cod detail, rather than the old chevron. The correct 2" closure up the rear of the bund, Pouches in place, these are a more scaled size of 6" wide, x 7" high x 1.5" deep. Note that they have been made from a coarse grain cotton canvas in order to provide a textural contrast against the close weave cotton drill cummerbund. Otherwise it just get's lost as a black on black costume. The pouches themselves have been biased stitched to the front and the flaps are double thickness with an internal stitch. More to come in due course... Armour to pull and helmet to make, as well as Boots. Phil, you've got most of the other stuff, so you can post details of your flight suit, flak vest, gloves and blaster. Cheers Rob. Link to comment
xanthis02[501st] Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 nice work chef do you make the soft parts for other troopers Link to comment
ELP[501st] Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Chef - don't know if you can locate them on your side of the ocean but if you can or have connections see if you can round up the plastic box for Medtronic's Adaptec pacemakers. They measure 7" (high) X 5 5/8" X 1 3/4", and fill a scout pouch perfectly. They work fantastic when you need to look absolutely perfect. Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's a damned fine idea Matt. I normally just put in a bit of foam. I can cut sections out of it, to take the amp Speaker and batteries and stuff. Greg, I can do, depends on what you're after. Link to comment

stroudy[501st] Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Took advantage of the nice weather today and sorted my blasters out. I've gone for an E11 as well as a normal scout blaster as I had already begun redoing one I had purchased ready built. It needed a few mods: Comparison shot of how the scout blaster started: Link to comment
stroudy[501st] Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Rectified a small error on the scope that chef spotted......I'd stupidly left a pour funnel on the front! Link to comment
stroudy[501st] Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Managed to get everything pretty much buttoned up yesterday with the help of the South Wales troopers. The riding patch, butt flap and elastic have all been added to the flight suit and I've resprayed the bucket due to what I think was glue vapour but not sure. All that's left now is the flak vest to arrive and a full kit up and I should be ready to submit for garrison and specialist clearance. :-) Hopefully be cleared ready for May 4th troops. Here's some more pics: And here's the elastic around the thighs, with the butt flap and crotch patch: Not sure if this is needed but noticed I didn't include a pic of the thin elastic on the knee plates so here that is: As I say, hopefully submit some time next week. Woo hoo Link to comment
