Re: Boots - Mens, large... another thread

Red, sorry. Yes, I search for womens, but finding anything over a size 9 (uk) is pretty unlikely

Boots - Mens, large... another thread

Hey So I have read all the boots threads. But I Just cannot find boots that are UK 11's anywhere. Up to 7 - bazillions. Up to 10, even, quite a few. UK 11? No. My Crow62s, while top notch, are worn out and I need to replace them. Does anyone have any pointers for larger sizes for those of us over 6 ...

Re: Condensation issues

I use a scuba spray everytime, as I do with my TK and i cant say it was overly hot the last two troops - maybe 12, 15C tops. The spray does virtually nothing, it's far far more than steaming up.

Condensation issues

Hi I have real issues with condensation in my lid. My visor doesn't just steam up, it quickly get water on it, literally, that can run down in drops. Luckily I have enough room around my visor area to lower my head and wipe it with my balaclava forehead! But that's not ideal, in fact it's gross. I'v...

Re: Neck folds - how?

I did have this with my v.1 robes, but I found that the weight of the fabric pulled on the seams and stretched far too much to keep it looking nice. I abandoned it for my v.2 robes in favour of the flat front for the cleaner look. There is nothing in the CRL that requires this. If anyone suggests t...

Neck folds - how?

Hello, it was suggested to me a while back that the way the robe drapes under the neck is screen accurate, but I can't figure out how to do it at all: http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2543/kf16.jpg And, to be honest, i can't find a single photo of anyone with it looking this good / having it at al...

Tinting a red visor

Hey all, I have a standard red visor in my lid which, in direct sunlight, lets people see part of my face (ie my nose is more visible). I had a layer of smoky tint on it but, at the last troop, I was SO hot in there, the tint actually warped and fell off! So, I've read all the other visor threads, b...

Re: Royal Guard for 2013 - kaa1304 build

Hi all, didn't update this as much as I planned at the end. Got cleared tonight though! Long story short then, got my lid painted at a car body shop and everything started falling into place really, despite more than a few "I'm never going to get cleared" moments. Here's some pics: http://...

Re: Royal Guard for 2013 - kaa1304 build

Little trial run of all internal bits for matching. The material 99.9% matches the examples you sent me, the neck seal is ribbed and along with the gloves and belt are made out of the same material. Boots, as stated up above somewhere are Crow62s. Obviously no rope on the belt as yet. http://imagesh...

Re: Royal Guard for 2013 - kaa1304 build

Hey I'm in the final stages of putting everything together now, all my mats are colour matched to the samples I was sent and I'm just figuring out the rope for the belt. I'm planning on 4 (or more?) rows, like this: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5817/beltef.jpg Please ignore the colours, the ph...
