Buddy248824[501st] Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Boots still need flaps. Seems a little snug around calfs. Finished cumberbum. Chest plate. Starting on belt. Wish me luck. Thoughts welcome. Thanks Link to comment

toddo[TX] Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Indeed. I would color the detonator hose. According to the CRL: The back of the belt has a rectangular black box with short black corrugated hose. Link to comment

DarkSavage Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Looks great! Now I need you to make a trip down to Houston and help me achieve the same result! I kid of course, awesome work! Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You've got it together. My only thing is that your chest plate looks small for your frame. The only thing you could do about that is to replace it with larger chest plate. Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 unfortunately.... He's a big lad and that's an SC chest plate... Probably the biggest one available! As discussed via PM, I would work on bringing that chest plate down a touch, and then bring up the belt to close up the gap between the pouches and the top of the belt. That will minimise the visual impact of the chest plate being a bit small on your frame and even up the spacings. It looks small because of the gap below the pouches. Close that, and everything will look more in proportion. When you add in the suede patches and thigh straps, this will reduce the bagginess of your flight suit around the thighs. Link to comment
Buddy248824[501st] Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Working on making it look better and tight. Thoughts Link to comment

Buddy248824[501st] Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Pics I have submitted for approval. Wish me luck Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 That's a million times better bro. Everything nicely in proportion. The chest is always going to look a bit small on you because you're beefcake. But to combat that, just angle the shoulder bells in forward a little (it'll open the gaps on the back, but you don't get many pictures taken of your back). Good luck with your submission (should be an easy pass... push them in my direction if you get any static). Next is specialist (few tweaks for that... but we'll get you there). 2 Link to comment
Buddy248824[501st] Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks Chef. Will do. Link to comment
