Ruck

I really liked what you did and I did my best to copy how you did it. Thank you for all the help and great ideas. Now I’ll need to wait till Monday to retake photos on the count of the weather, I want to let everything set and dry now. That was the last thing I think I needed to do. I mean I could have left it like you said it didn’t look bad before but why not make it 100% if I’ve already put this much time and effort into it.

A little filling, sanding, and some paint should make it look sweet!

Reworking my 5 button panel, followed Q’s lead and borrowed his idea

No return edges

The blue on the bicep is from trooping, the paint wore from the shoulder bells.

The spacer and tab really work well securing the right side.
