Basically yes haha. I took my suit and just rubbed it on the tire, the rims, and the wheel well. Worked really nicely. Black of course and a bit of brown in there too. I dragged it around on the driveway some as well.

Hopefully your neighbors didn't see you doing that in your driveway or they'll think you're nuts. "Why is mhlayne rubbing that brand new suit inside his wheels?" "Who knows, hon...?"

Thanks! So my younger brother is just finishing up his welding and fabrication certification and he knows a guy who does machining...
I'm stoked! He's got blueprints of pretty much all the metal parts and is gonna work em for me. (The tip on this rocket is too long, he's aware of the correct size no worries)

Keep it up man! Shame about the flight suit not fitting. You couldnt get it tailored?

Thanks guys! DeathProof, I suppose I could have taken it to a tailor, but I found the material a bit thick for my liking. Working on getting on made using a lighter-weight material, also it'll be in white so that I can dye it which will be great

Thanks Syper!
Got my Woodman Vest and Neckseal today. This is a work of art. Beautiful pieces. Thank you Woody!! Also did some work on my scopes. One needs more work than the other as you can see .

Question on the vest/neck seal. Currently mine is quite white. I hit up the gallery to see what I could find. It appears (to me at least) that the vest and neck seal are a light light grey. Or a "weathered" white, something along those lines.

Remarks? Thanks bros

Technically the vest and neck seal are a 'light grey tackle twill.' Check the CRL to confirm.

This is colour was very hard to finalize from what I understand as there was some discrepancy between white, off white, grey, etc.

Got it, that was my guess, thank you Deathproof.
started to work on the straps for the girth belt, added some color to the belt as well.

How will you go about getting the bubbled areas off the key-slots piece (can't think of what it's called)?

MQ-1 Board. Exacto Knives are your best friend. I'll be pulling up some detailed pics of the MQ-1 to make sure that none of those "bubbles" are actually supposed to be there

Got an amazing woodman ESB cape! Thanks to Skywalker.
Also, are these knee darts to scale? Hit it, boys.

I ain't gonna lie, they're too small. Child scale. At least that's what I'm gathering.
