TFU Royal Guard from Oz
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2019 11:39 am
A mate was following WTF's facebook page, saw a post about a new run if TFU kits and sung out to me. A good deal was struck for 2 kits shipped to the same address and so the build begins...
Well, the waiting begins... 10 weeks apparently. 5 or 6 of them down so far.
While waiting I started with the jumpsuit. Bought a Dickies branded one. (I hate buying online being unable to try on for size). Guess what, it was waaay too big. Not too bad if I was wearing it for painting, but too big for a costume. Sorry, no pics of my pencil markings, but I laid it flat, drew a line up the inside of the legs, outside of arms, down the side effectively thinning out the suit, making it more form fitting. Much better and more comfortable now.

(No, it's not my bedroom. Daughters room is the easiest to take full length photos in )
Oh, and got the belt in.

Will wait till the armour is received and built before I cut the belt to size, and see if I need to remove the chest pockets or not.
Thanks for checking in.
