And pictures of the real siera boot also before altering, Ive seen the ones in the gallery. I just wanted more as reference, Ive search Google but nothing really comes up

No I really need screen grabs to be honest, so if you could Patrik that would be superb. Thanks for helping though Jim

I was just wondering if anyone has any good blue ray screen grabs of the boots please?

I wonder if we could approach a company to quote us for making gloves, my friend has a lot of success with companies in China. Not done anything like that before though.

Thats because I sent you two left feet by mistake lol

I always do my laces up, just habit though I guess lol

Its comming on mate, good to see your progress

I leave the laces in bud, but I put a little vynil piece in so no glue touches the laces, that way they can be pulled up tight.

Coffee "lol what you like Rob"

That line would weather out with a little dirt anyway, if you cant find a plain sole then go for these mate/ Just dont go for steel toe caps if poss

Nothing really specific mate, but you will need a rivit gun, ideally a sewing mahine if not a needle and thread is more than enough, hot glue gun (helmet lense only), curved scissors are great, curved file is handy as is a electric dremmel (you can get away without these but really are great), sand paper, sticky tape. Sticky self adhesive velcro, epoxy glue.

Looking good bro, as Mike said we will review this. But may have to wait untill after elections bro, leave it with us

Just looked at your picture and they look ok so far mate, couple of pointers though. You really should of picked a boot with a singe colour sole, yours have a line at the top, but that is fairly faint an Im sure with weathering you will loose it. Second being steel toe caps, you are gunna have a hell of a job trying to push the pins in to hold the fabric while you stretch it, it can be done.

You copy the direct link of the picture from photo bucket and paste it into the image icon in your reply box here bro

Ive never heated up lenses to put them in, what did they supply you with and is it flexable? I use shade 5 welders lense, and just push it into the visor and hot glue. You have to hold it for a few seconds while it cures. But its an easy job, obviously if the stuff you have isnt that bendy then you will have to shaoe it some buddy

Unfortunately the costs of molding and the amount of resin needed for each cast was going to work out too much, for something that might not sell. So have decided not to for now, unless someone in the mean time comes up with a plan.

Nice one mate, looking forward to seeing the first pull

Possibly, definately to Legoland in April mate

Thanks guys, shes a heavy beast, Il have to weigh it later lol

Id say the MC armour may well suit someone shorter than 5'10" it really is tiny

Its a 40mm main lense, but a DLT wouldnt be the same as the scout sniper mate, its a completely different gun bud

Finally got this bad boy finished up, hoping to troop with it at the weekend.

Good man keep on going with it

The argument with the armour is, anyone can say any part of a certain makers armour is not 100% accurate, only way we could do that is to use a studio mold. Now the likes of SC especially with the new knees, as they needed the lip ect for the strapping is close to accurate, as is most of the armour makers out there (MG aside) That is where fit and finish comes into play, parts need to then be tweaked again to suit the trooper. I am as happy as can be at this point with what the quality vendors are offering, giving us a very close representation of what we are trying to portray. The reason we can go more specific with the strap sizes, is we can see roughly what we need by the screen grabs and guage what they are. It is then easy to put a label on them to get us that little bit more uniform if you like

Trouble is we can only get so much space so adding screen caps would be too hard unless Jim can alter that. I had to leave some pics out as it said I was out of space. Your right the about MG armour it would need extensive alterations to make lancer that is is it ever could. I dont believe we have had a member cleared in MG have we? I could be wrong. But the CRL does say close represenation on armour, no one makes armour that is 100% accurate so nothing would get cleared, so we have to be as close as we can be. The chin cup is seen on the screen helmet like you say, but when the helmet is on it does hang past the bottom of the lid. But it cant been seen extending past the lid on screen and it should be obvious being white, so yeah that is odd. But are we not having a conversation and presing forward of a belt fastener that also cannot be seen or a fabric material again which could or could not be there, the shine could be camera flash on a matt fabric? It is a real deal helmet an it does have a chin cup, why would they make one and stick it on aftewards that also seems strange? I personally dont use mine as I find it knocks on the lid when talking which wins me up. I dont use any strap at all on my MLC. Theres things like the T bits, chin cup and afew details that were always there and agreed on long before my time, and so these wernt altered when I tweaked the CRL. Im not against altering it again if everyone can agree. I only have about a week left of being DL and being able to do this so things need to move forward quickly
