Grimwalker’s Build Thread/QUESTIONS

[Grimwalker]

Just bought a kit of Helmet, shoulders, front, back, belly, vambraces, shins, spats.

They’re basically ready to roll. Weapon and soft parts are on me.

Question about the base layer: is the flight suit necessarily one piece?

Is there any recommended material for flight suit/Kama?

[LuciousTalvloinne]

A flightsuit with shoulder pockets removed will work perfectly fine. Kama is made of twill fabric in a trapezoidal pattern.

[Grimwalker]

I thought the Kama had to match the suit material? Can the Kama be attached to the belt with velcro?

[LuciousTalvloinne]

Flightsuits are made of twill fabric. Yes mounting the kama to the belt will keep it looking right. I ran velcro on the top part of the kama.

Question about the base layer: is the flight suit necessarily one piece?

CRL does show a one piece suit, so yes, it should be one pice. I used (along with most builds here) painters type overalls.

The CRL only says 'undersuit' with no mention of pattern so I don't think that is being addressed or policed at all. I just took my undersuit to the local fabric store and picked up a plain looking fabric that matched.

Check my build thread for the way I attached the Kama - Velcro on the belt.

This is the coveralls that I picked up on Amazon:

This is the fabric that I found at Joanne's Fabrics for the Kama:

The twill I used was "Sew Classic Bottomweight Cotton Twill Solid Fabric". They come in black, red and blue. The fabric will match the flightsuit.
