I am definitely interested in one of these, but I'm scrambling to get the cash together. Are you building extras or just enough for the people who order now? If not taking payment now, when do you need payment?

Hey Guys, I need to confirm this order and get the webbing in asap. I just need to know who does not want the 4 bar webbing, in favour of the weave type at this stage, thanks.
Is it still optional to order one of these harnesses? Iam in need of an ESB one.. I wonder if my Bobamaker backplate and BFUK jetpack will fit onto this harness?
Please confirm this and let me know it these are still available ;-)
OK, so I thought I would give you all an update and show any one interested some of the process needed to capture the small details, most of which could be done far easier, but to get that accurate look they need to be done. It goes some way to explain why this project is taking so long.....originally started late last year. Some of these photos have been posted previously, but you get a better idea of the process now.
The V1 harness drawing is compared to the newly released photo of the Supertrooper/Boba Fett Harness. New dimensions are established and full detailed professional drawings are created for the engineers to work to.
Raw materials are identified as per the drawings and ordered.
The developed lengths are then cut, and the brace/strap parts are ordered from the sheet metal workers.
The formers are then machined to the correct dimensions to allow the material to be bent. A jig is also machined to help with all stages of working with the harness rig, including registration, finished size and strap positions.
The material is then bent to the correct shape and checked on the prepared jig.
When manufactured all the parts are test fitted to check they fit properly and the correct radius have been achieved.
The frames are then drilled on a CNC machine.
After drilling the burs are removed and the straps are added and pressed into the final position using a bespoke pressing tool, before spot welding takes place.
Once they have been welded they have the "dimple" added to secure the welded strap in place, again, the now modified gig is used to obtain the correct position.
Once the straps are welded and secured in place, any extra length is removed from the frame.....I did not get a photo of this today, will add it later.
.....and this is where we are currently, the lower strap and rings are located in place and need welding. Then the support bar fixings will be added and finally the support bar itself.
