smallstrooper Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm back inches away from submitting my photos. Other than that shiny silver zipper can any of you spot any other issues? Or have any suggestions before I submit? Thanks! Link to comment

Scubacat[TX] Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 They look awesome. I unfortunately don't know the costume that well so I can't help you much. :/ but it still looks awesome! Link to comment
Ewok Hunter[501st] Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 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. Link to comment
THE TROOPER[501st] Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lookin good Sarah Just a couple of small tweaks and were one more trooper stronger !!! Best wishes on your submission process. Link to comment
Griffin-X[501st] Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 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...

Get the jumpsuit altered to fit your size/build. 2. Modify the armor parts to be more suited for your size/build. Link to comment
Ewok Hunter[501st] Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 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.

smallstrooper Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 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 Link to comment
