Ha, no worries. I got a little excited though, thinking I could get them cheaper. But since I'm in Canada everything is more expensive in the end anyways because of shipping.

Thanks M, you're too kind. I don't have any of my reference pics on my home computer to be able to explain how I measured it. I do believe I had to scale though. Tomorrow I will get some info up for you that will hopefully help you out.
No prob man. :-D and yeah if you want to PM me you can. That would be great!
I like the gloves and underarmor, i might think about getting something like that too

Ok M, sorry for the late reply. The internet was down all day yesterday at work. Any way, I have some photos below that you can use as a reference to figure out how much you need to scale the CQB chest attachment. I thought I would post them here rather than PM just in case any one else needs them. You will need to have the chest already scaled and pepped (if you haven't already) so you can take your measurements from that. Then measure and scale the chest attachment.No prob man. :-D and yeah if you want to PM me you can. That would be great!

One of the main things to be careful of is making sure the straps line up with the recesses toward the top of the chest. See pic below where I have marked.
I hope this helps man, let me know if you need anything else.

And alright thanks for the advise, ill do the chest first then. I have not built anything but the helmet yet. and one shoulder. Im kinda moving slow, but i wanna make sure everything is the way i want it so lol. Thanks again man.GIGGIDY?? LMAO

Thanks so much thorn. I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks. I am really glad I can inspire others to take on builds like this.
Small Update...
I had to resin a few commission parts so I decided to go ahead and finish up fiberglassing my Mk. VI torso while I had everything out. Now on to getting that baby looking slick. I didn't bother with pics for just that little bit of work, hope you guys can forgive me. Stay tuned and keep building!!!

Really like the way you went about painting on the CQB. I thought about just spray painting the whole thing my desired color and then taking a paint brush to it for the black detailing, but taping it seems to be faster and cleaner. Helmet looks amazing ^_^

Gday Vshore100, I found this thread from reading Meade352mxs' CQB build thread. Your work is amazing! I'm starting a build shortly with a CQB helmet, among other parts from Security and EVA perms, so I will definitely be looking at this thread for help, if you don't mind! Can't wait for the next update!

Hey, Vshorte100, thank you so much for being so detailed in how you do your work, it's been great to see someone else taking a lot of time and pictures, as it is really helping me with getting not only the work done, but keeping the motivation as well.
Anyway, I'm off for some more alcohol and then a shower and then bed. 0120 in the morning and I've only been off work for about 45 minutes. Can't wait for another update!

Thanks so much for the comment Zero. I'm glad my build has helped you. Don't be afraid to go for the visor detail work man. It really isn't that hard buddy. I did it without any tape to protect the visor and it turned out fine. Just take your time, you can do it.
I really haven't had much time to work on my build lately, life really knows how to get in the way, that and pep commissions. I hope to be back on it in the next week or two though. Thanks to all have viewed my thread.
