Bootstraps Del Meeko

[Bootstrap[501st]]

Hey everyone.. I finally am taking the plunge and starting my build. I have the Del Meeko kit coming from Head Shot and looking to get a quick start.

 

Is the flyye chest rig the only approved one or is there a flyye clone that is acceptable? Does anyone have the wampa wear suits and gloves?

[Bootstrap[501st]]

Im looking for someone thay can help me with this build.

Would this work for the chest rig?

Also does the overbelt attach to the leather officer belt?

I don't think that rig would work. Best option is to send it to your GML and see what they think.

If I'm not wrong the flyye chest rig still needs few modifications to be approvable. I've read The WIP of Maxprime and he made a pretty awesome chest rig.

Im still trying to source the boots. Is there any other option besides having custom boots made by imperialboots or Gio?

Well its been a few weeks.

 

Wampa Wear gloves and flightsuit arrived.

Boots ordered and delivered.. should be approvable

Flyye Tac vest came in, just need to modify it

Waiting on the rest to come in from Headshot props

 

Still need to get scout pouches done and order an officers belt

[kmart890[TX]]

You should be able to get an officer belt from TiggWolf or Wampawear

Just got my kit from HeadShot, not too impressed. The over belt is not accurate.

I'd love to work together and share ideas/problems/solutions if you are up for it.

If I remember correctly, the two outer Boxes on the scout belt are shaped like the shadow scout, but Dels have a different shape. 

[HydePride[TX]]

Yeah, the shape of the far left and right boxes are incorrect (although CRL approvable), Also the pieces to the left and right of the center are swapped (pre-mounted to the rubber). And there's also not enough room on the black rubber portion to add the required 8 rivets...

[spiderboyy[TX]]

Look into Studio Creations, they make an overbelt in ABS.  Has all the required room to fit the rivets and properly shaped boxes

Its been a little bit.. Here is my del meeko.. Its not approved yet and still missing some parts... Not thrilled with how the straps turned out... Anyone have other suggestions or a vendor that makes them?

its a bit out of focus, which straps arent you happy with?

Sorry.. Dont know if this picture is any better

Basically the "ribbing" of the chest rig straps... My GMLs are stuck on the ribbing instead of layering

@MahXPrime @macdaddycjs @Tarrif any input?

[MahXPrime[501st]]

Ah yea ribbing. The same kind of ribbing we can see on the current CRL main picture.

I don't know anyone making them and I don't know much about the ribbing technique but I know I've made mines with layering technique.. when you look at the 3d model the layering is quite obvious, even if it's difficult to make it indeed so.. You'll need patience and time to test several options I guess

Myself I need to upgrade this part, the glue I've used was quite bad actually, not torsion-proof at all making leather layers to peel off..
(Glue because obviously 0 sewing is visible -deal with it poor costume maker-)
