While doing my Shadow Scout boots, I used a squared off hobby blade. I have some of varying sizes, cut the outline to the depth I wanted, then just slid it up or down to cut out the groove. Pain in the but, but it worked and looks good.

Follow the tutorial...it's really not that hard, and you might have to bug your wife for about 10 min worth of sewing. Oh, you should go introduce yourself in the introductions section if you already haven't.

PM'd.

Rank stripes look a little long, and the pin striping on the tank look a little uneven, but that could be due to the angle. Looking good though, your wife's gonna be happy eh?

I'd buy one, and one in black too lol.

The Lancer qualifications state nothing about it being just one rivet on the belt. It's one rivet on the tank topper instead of the 2 which the SC instructions show.

Hey wolf let me know if prototype #3 needs a new home when it's done.

Ditto what MB said, and velcro solves a lot of costuming problems hehe.

The top is fine really, unless you want it perfectly symmetrical. As for the bottom, Jeff from SC told me that at the most you could trim about 1/4" off the side with more material. Oh, and don't forget to paint that rivet on the bottom of the tank white.

Just paint the hinge bolts the same gray as your snout

Mine are also attached to the bund with velcro.

Check here. It looks to be centered. I know with my KS pre-assembled they started them at the bottom right corner of the vent sticker.

Can't wait!

I'm taking mine off.

I used xacto blades on the black boots I'm doing. a #11 blade, and a couple of flat blades.

I still want one.

Not bad at all. Have fun with the soles..they're a pain.

If anyone could, post pics/tips/info on the fan set ups you have in your buckets. I think it would help all of us newbs out a great deal. Like, what parts, where to get them, cost, etc.

Def a great topic going on here. And if we show up, we would probably be hoping for more then just tea. Seriously though, with how it looks now, I would almost certainly take it over most, if not all, out there on the market.

I cut mine to 1 1/4". I looked at the pic above and that's how I spaced and located the stripes.

Most likely I'll be painting mine.

Hi?! Where are the pics?

I say go for it too.

The more I look at it, the more I want one. Not to the dreaming stage yet like Crazy...but yeah...lol

Ya'll are just going to make me feel bad now So anyone reading this. SC makes nice armor. I would buy from him again in a heart beat, and most likely will when I'm ready to go black.
