rskrauss' Scarif Marine

[PArmstr (Patricia Armstrong-Krauss)]

My husband saw some Scarif Marines at the Science-Fiction-Treffen 2019 on Sunday and now he would like to have one too. He would like to use a Gorka 3 or 4 jacket and a cap. I will make a blue cap for him because I cannot buy coyote brown fabric in Germany and I do not want to order some from abroad.

I have a question. What is the Sten Machine Carbine Magazine sash-style bandolier that is mentioned in Variation B of the torso? When I google it and the two other bandoliers (Sterling SMG magazine carrier bandolier and Sten Machine Carbine Magazine bandolier) in the optional items section I often get the same search results.

I recently went through the same issue with the sten bandoliers. From what I've been lead to believe, the following types are accecptable.







I'm not an official or judge but these seem to be what others are using.

My husband and I have finally found a pair of Chelsea boots that fit him. Unfortunately, they are brown suede so we will have to paint the black Swiss leather gaiters with brown leather paint. The CS states "Gaiters should match boot color regardless of style." How similar do the two shades of brown need to be so that they are considered a match? Painting the boots is not an option because my husband wants to be able to wear them with regular clothing too.

My impression is they should be relatively similar (dark brown matched with another dark brown, not dark brown with light brown), but don't necessarily have to be a perfect match. I'd be curious to hear a judge weigh in to confirm that, though.

I just finished sewing my husband's cap. I have not even washed off the chalk markings yet. His Scarif Marine will have a Gorka anorak.

I am also going to sew one for me but mine will be blue because I wanted to add more color. I am already making a khaki Cassian Andor style jacket and a tan flak vest. We do not have the correct goggles yet so I used another set of ski goggles for the photos.

Here are some items that we already have for the costume. I am not sure yet if we are going to use Swiss gaiters. We would probably have to paint them so that they are similar in color to his boots. They are also very tight on my husband because he has thick calves. I might just make a set of anklets instead.

My husband wants to use the coyote brown pants from his Rebel Vanguard costume. They are Helikon-Tex SFU NEXT Pants. I might change the PLCE belt to an olive green one and keep the tan one for my Marine.
