General Weir's bandolier assembly

[thisiskevin]

I'm upgrading my Shadow Scout kit to General Weir's 😀 just wondering if this is the right way to make the bandolier?

 

Based on the CRL we need to rivet the blue arrows right? And the black/orange arrows are using buckle?

 

The parts are home made using wood 😀

So its made by 2 same length of red webbing with each end on the buckle and the other end rivetted?

If this is correct I'm gonna rivet/sew them together 😀

Will probably put velcro on the blue arrows so it doesnt shift and stays in position?

Yah, rivets will do.

 

Sewing would be better because they'll be visible and it will be a neater more secure join.

Thanks Chef!

 

Is the bandolier shape correct btw? If yes i'll sew it today 😀

yeah, crossed at the front, straight down at the back.

 

try to make them vertical down the back, so sew them in at the same distance width wise as the shoulder bridges on the armour.

 

Your suggestion of adding in some velcro or fastening system here is spot on... Well worth doing.

 

I'd be tempted to sew in a length of black velcro that can be just wrapped round and stuck on itself.

Noted and thanks again Chef!

 

For the back it should fall down vertically if i stick it with velcro where the blue arrows are i hope. Will do the velcro first then before i stick the wood parts.

 

Tried to secure the wood parts with rivets just like you suggested and it worked really well!

Just need to fox the back so it falls straight instead curves i think.

Kevin might not be readily available...but he purchased from Chef's Creations I believe.  HOWEVER...we are reworking the CRL for an update and Kevin has actually done a more accurate 3D model.  Hopefully he will make that available once we can get his pictures taken and the CRL updated.
