Allrighty, coming in on the home stretch. Doing some leatherworking this week. And we have a 3 day convention this weekend. If all the new gear troops well Friday and Saturday, I'll be taking brigade photos Sunday morning.
With everything that's getting added to the belts, I new I needed some suspenders like I mentioned above. They arrived, but they weren't fully ready to attach to my belts out of the box, so here's my test of them last night. 95% of them will be hidden under my plates, but I'm still going to weather them consistently with the rest of my kit.

Here's the back of the belt with the extra magazines for Privateer -- I still need to weather them, also really considering painting them brighter colors first to add some more color for Privateer. Also need to hang my rank ropes off the belt somewhere.

And the front of the belt with all the tools (for mechanic) and Fusion Cutter for both mechanic and Privateer-- other than hard mounting these to the belt, this stuff is how I want it to be.

Magnet mount testing for worklight for Mechanic:


Goals for tonight:
Weather a bunch of leather, paint the mags, weather the work light, final mount the tools.
Also gonna go back and review both BRL's one more time to make sure I haven't left anything out of my build.
