okay, panic setting in...
pants are done.
vest is almost, fitting etc, please see if photos are showing proper progress.
Worried about the back neck but can't fix that really.
Sorry for one-handed photos!

Shirt is the muslin, will enlarge pockets and I think the collar a bit.
*Have belt webbing and slide, but still confused on required attachment as I've seen different styles, is there a specific method? (I would think to attach to middle bar and then thread end under-over-under).
Getting paint to start on blaster and greeblie, think I have wrist communicator, forgot to put it on.
And wig is ordered!

All those seams look great. The fit is super sharp too! I admit I'm not much help for the threading of the belt, other than just play around a bit.

If it's easier, you can keep all your updates in one thread for us to keep commenting on.

I can combine them all for you, if you'd like. It keeps threads more organized. Smile

My only question is the color of the undershirt, it could just be washout from the flash of the pictures, is it tan or more of an off white? It looks really light colored, more off white or ivory than a tan color.

That's my muslin shirt; working on the actual shirt now... Smile
