Nice!

 

- Master Tej -

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Thanks.

 

Tomorrow I will add some padding to the knee armor and adjust the belt straps, glue my "noisy cricket" aka scout blaster together and I should be finished.

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

What`s left to do:

 

connection of bund - breast plate

adjustement and fixings of the pouches.

I think I will use velcro here.

 

More pics (I really have to lose some weight):

For the chest plate bund connection I've used a couple of press studs / poppers. You can just as easily use velcro.

 

 

 

 

Once this is done and your bund is in the correct place, you can look at getting the pouches secured.

 

The pouches should sit directly beneath your chest plate and you should be able to see all the ribs between the two pouches.

 

Also the belt should sit at the bottom of the bund.

 

Here's a little graphic with lines on to show where they SHOULD sit *roughly*.

 

 

Don't have them close together like in the picture.

 

 

Here's one of the belt (ignore the camo trousers!).

 

 

Keep the boxes quite high and make sure they are level.

 

If you need any more help, just shout up.

 

 

Also you might want to bring your chest plate down a little, the weight of the back plate / hump is making it ride up (fairly normal) so just pull it forward/down so it sits level at the side straps.

Thanks, Chef.

 

That helps a lot.

Hello.

 

Long time, no see.

 

Here are my latest photos of my shadow scout.

Maybe I am now ready for approval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think?

 

Cheers

I think you'll pass.

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

I hope so.

 

The whole gear is built by Chef, so the quality shouldn`t be a problem.

I sent these pics also to the GMO of my garrison.

[toddo[TX]]

Chef's the man indeed.

[Chef[501st]]

Only a couple of point that I would bring up (and it's not me who will be clearing it, it will be your GML).

 

I would say try and line up the pouches so they sit vertical. Tweak the outer edges upwards so it pulls them straight.

 

Lower your belt at the back, it's sitting too high and you can see the bund poking down below it. either that or raise the bund a bit at the back, or a combination of both.

 

Bicep armour needs to come around to the outside a bit, and raise up so it closes the gap to the shoulder armour.

 

(I've sent you a couple of graphics over on FB.... but it's 0230hrs here and I'm too tired to upload them to photo bucket and link them in here!).

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Thank you very much.

Well. Not much left to do.

I should send my wife on vacation together with our kids.

Then I would have enough time.

I want to get my gear approved this year.

[Chef[501st]]

That's the thing... You don't necessarily need to 'change' anything. It's just about the way you put it on.

 

The biceps just get moved up a notch and twisted round.

Belt get's lowered to match the bund, rather than sitting up in the small of your back and the pouches just get attached a little higher on the outer edge.

 

 

If you can get them held there for your clearance pictures you'll be good to go.

 

 

That's when the fun starts... Because at that point you'll go trooping and you'll find out about which bits fall off, which bits shift and twist, which bits rub you raw and just exactly how toasty you get.

And at that point, you'll go back and start securing stuff down, modifying bits to make them more comfortable and all that.

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Thanks again, Chef.

 

Now I`m waiting for the feedback from the German Garrison.

[DeathMOS30[501st]]

Best of luck hope you get approved looks good

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Thank you., DeathMOS30

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Well... still waiting for a feedback from my garrison.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Hang in there...

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Good news.

I have been approved.

 

Let´s raise our steins. Cheers.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Congrats man. The armor looks awesome!

[Beskarwolf[TX]]

Thanks.

Now to something less serious.

 

Experimenting with different loadouts:
