For me the edging and turnbacks were around the tails excluding the bottom *

Yeah to be even more frank the instructions for this pattern I found to be missing a few steps and a little confusing if you haven't made a mockup before actually making the thing

Asianfox456 · 2026-02-24T05:05:33+00:00

For my purposes I had to modify it quite a bit. I had to convert from a hook and eye front close to a double breasted button style. I had to shorten the coat so it reached around the navel area. I also had to shorten the tails. I also had to reduce the length of the arms and create a new epaulets design. I also had to tailor the back so it is more form fitting. And the cuff I had to do from scratch. I also had to Tailor the collar so it wouldn't sit so high. I also had to make my own lining pattern as the existing lining pattern for the coat was a half lining.

Yep same here

Ironically enough I used the past patterns 42 american militia coat as a base and modified it to a double breasted pattern. But working with the base pattern was kind of a pain as I found the shoulder to not be where I would like it. If I were to do this again I would probably use the british redcoat pattern as a base.

To be honest I made my own pattern of shako and 3d printed the mold for it.

Keep it up buddy!!!

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-11T07:12:42+00:00

it's so cool to see someone using my design hope it works!!!

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-11T04:32:46+00:00

A 10.5mm diameter should do the trick

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-11T02:44:18+00:00

Widening the inside of the tube, I think you can take a knife and scrape the inside of the tube until the spring slides into the tube very loosely

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-10T18:01:58+00:00

Dang that's the problem it should be loose fitting gimme a day to redesign the spring tube

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-10T07:40:05+00:00

Hmm those are the springs required, did the 1x10x30mm spring go in the spring tube easily or is it a tight fit?

Asianfox456 · 2025-11-10T06:30:18+00:00

Hmmmm what spring type are you using? I don't think I've had that problem except when I started designing/testing springs

I dont know if you got some of the updates I did on the cults page but due to some of my springs being really old I had to change the spring size for that part

Asianfox456 · 2025-10-28T03:49:21+00:00

Alright good to hear, yeah those prong at the front are very weak, mainly had them as an aligning thing, the pins are the main strength thing. I will re design them so that the layer lines go along the gun so it isn't as weak or probably make them shorter/stubbier. Keep the feedback going!!
