Still WIP


Recommended Posts

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.

You are almost there! This is what I would do:

 

Short term:

1. Flip your collar up and wear a balaclava. This will help hide any facial parts and the zippers.

2. Tighten up the chest/back join and make sure the cloth cover strips are tight. See below...

3. Get Shadow Scout decals from Trooperbay. You will need to update the helmet and tank - missing on both. See below...

4. Adjust the jumpsuit so it's not so baggy. This is mostly for the pics...

Long term:

1. Get the jumpsuit altered to fit your size/build.

2. Modify the armor parts to be more suited for your size/build.

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.

Ugh I hate using this on the mobile gets ahead of me!! Sorry...

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I will do that. I don't like my flight suit anyways so will probably end up going through and getting a new one. Height and size have caused some obstacles.

 

The awkward question now I guess.... You mentioned to tighten the chest and back, well being female it's not as easy. Now I've tried another option which seems to help the armor sit better. So any idea on how to resolve that?

 

Continuously asked how close am I to being done, even if I'm "finished" for submission I don't think my costuming will ever be done lol
