It has certainly been quite awhile lol
Welcome back!
Everything is look pretty great! If you are still looking to add a cape, I use double weave muslin for mine. It's light weight, drapes great, has good 'body' and flows well in the wind.
I've kind of given up on the cape. I don't really need it now, but it would be a cool addition. Thanks for the advice!
From the pictures it is hard to tell - have you weathered your black soft parts? It looks like there might be some weathering behind the knees?
Is your flak vest long and tucked into your waist items?
Yes, I have weathered my stuff to heck and back, but its hard to see in that light. My flak vest? It can barely tuck behind my ammo belt. I have a plan to replace it, but thats expensive, because I want to buy it from someone on here. It'll be awhile before I do that. It's also full of holes from when I tried to attach my chest plates with snaps. And it might be too small now, it was made for me 4 years ago.
Outside of that, you may be ready to app in. Do you have a local Ruus you have been in contact with?
Yeah, I sent a PM to my head honcho, but I have yet to hear from him.
