A very productive few days. If everything goes to plan, I should have everything pretty much done by the end of the week. Hopefully finish the helmet tomorrow and Thursday, then have a lengthy discussion with the dreaded back plate on Thursday/Friday. And then I have belt pouches to sew. Yay....

I need to put bog in that massive gap/dent in the left thigh holster. I was lazy and hoped it wasn't going to be noticeble. It is.
I'll also likely straighted out the boot caps as well. I thought molding them to the top of the foot might make them fit better. It looks terrible so I'll have to fix it.
Otherwise, I'm quite happy with my first attempt at power tools and proper spray painting.
It was way too high to begin with, but now I've ripped the padding out it's better. Not sure if it's good enough yet though.

Fear. Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally.
