I NEED HELP!!! I need to have this kit done by Halloween, 31 Oct 2010, however... I'm going on TDY for 1-2 weeks on the 18th of October so, it really has to be done before then. I need to fix/finish the following items:
1. Shins- Somebody please tell me the best way to make a good set of shins because ALL of my attempts thus far have failed miserably.
2. Vest- I have plates, I have a vest... but I have no way to attach the plates to my vest! My vest is a nice MOLLE plate carrier, that I do NOT want to damage. Therefore I need to find a way to attach the plates via the MOLLE straps and I have a VERY limited budget... and ideas would be great.
3. Knees- Somebody please tell me how to make a good pair of knees... everything I've tried thusfar has failed miserably.
4. Shoulders- I need some suggestions for attaching the shoulders to the suit, they need to be the type that flow with the arms.
5. boot plates- I had plans to make spats, but due to problems with not knowing how to sew correctly and not able to pay someone to sew it for me, it ain't gonna work... somebody tell me how to attach these things to the boots.
Unfortunately with the new rank and new job title, a possible deployment looming and the fact that this kit has been a WIP for 2 years now I'm running out of time. Add to that the fact I've already spent a LOT of money on this, my wife's getting fed up and frankly so am I. I REALLY want to finish this kit soon, or I'm going to have to abandon it. Help me vode... you're my only hope!
