Regarding your hip pouches, personally Ive never been a fan of the split flap loop style. I posted a thread a little while back describing, in my opinion, the correct way to loop the side pouches

I’m sure the reason you have two of them is one is facing one way and the other one is the opposite. Depending on what version of BF you are going for will determine which one you use because they change positions. See RafalFett’s various blueprints post for details.

Some of these files were in work for some time and now it's time to see the light. Because I'm not a professional draftsman, my files shows only the basic shapes and measurements, but I think this is more than enough to see the full picture. So, here are the files... Boba Fett boot plate with...

Honestly, I would have gone with just using the found parts. You probably can still get them for cheaper than what you paid for those and they would be more accurate.
ShortFuse - One wonders why Christian doesn’t just make one Security blade that could be positioned both ways? But yeah after getting his I opt’d to get the found parts with MCR’s Shin Tool Rods. Sure a little work and painting is necessary, but so worth it. I got a little buyers remorse from MoW’s Shin tools.

SORTA UPDATE:
I got notice that my RIFFLE has shipped !!!
Which means I get to start doing some serious painting
I am in a contract with BOBA MAKER on my armor and helmet
I've reached out to FETT4REAL to discuss painting my jetpack
I know what my shopping list is for WASTED FETT (I need 3 things before I can start putting the jetpack together)
and I am broke !!!!

Pardon my butting in, but I bought a roll of gaffer's tape off ebay. I'll look for the seller shortly. Mine turned out like this...

It was about $13 for the 2" wide roll. Trimmed to the correct width and I feel it came out nicely.

In addition to the gaff tape wrapping around the squeegee tool's excess scrap that is used for the security blade handle, I ran the threaded stud that holds the 2 rods together, into the handle and secured it with a dab of epoxy (if I recall correctly) for additional strength.

The drawing shows the tape's width at 28mm's wide. It also says "electrical tape". I tired electical tape at 1st, but I wasn't to happy with the outcome. It kept losing adhesion, coming off, and it didn't like the shine of it. I believe it's supposed to have a matte or dull look to it anyway, so I found that the gaffe method was better imo. Hope this helps ya some!
