So I started this kit a few months ago, but due to other commitments I had to shelve it for a while. In the meantime my boyfriend raced ahead with his kit, so this last week he’s been helping me catch up. Here’s what I have so far:
I finally finished up the flight suit I started, which turned out pretty good. I might upgrade in the future if I can find something that matches the colour, but this should be good enough for initial approval.
The vest is a pre-quilted fabric sewn from a t-shirt pattern, with a Velcro closure at the back. I love it already, it feels very military. It might get shortened depending on how the waist items sit but it’s fine for now. The only thing I’m not sure about is the shoulder tabs, I’ll have Post-Imperial style shoulder bells, so I don’t know if the tabs are needed. The CRls don’t seem to say anything specific so I’ve left them off for now.
The boots are my favourite part, I’m hesitant to actually attach armour to them because I wear them so much already, but I knew as soon as I saw them they would be perfect.
The gloves are just basic safety gloves, the logos are hidden by the straps In the first pictures but I’ll find a more permanent solution before I’m done.
Next up is the neck seal, then I need to get some belts and pouches and that’s my soft parts done!
