Dang! I had another look at the pouch stitching and there's a single thread of external stitching. Is it easiest just to pick them out and glue the fabric where the stitches used to hold the folded fabric together?

Thanks for your replies. I've got a few questions to clarify things. Do you have any recommendations on the best way to repaint this without messing things up? I ended up repainting the white parts of my bucket many times due to small mess ups. So I need to remove them, cut them closer and reapply. With the stripes on the back of the helmet, is it best to attach them individually? I kept them together so they would stay parallel and equidistant from each other. Do the legs need to be done again? I know the arms need to be done. What about the torso? The stitching is on the inside and was a bit of a mess so I trimmed it and applied "thread stopper". Unfortunately, it was the first time I had used the stuff and the nozzle confused the heck out of me and I used too much so the glue marks can be seen on the front.

Requesting Lancer status... Here's a folder of my photos: http://s1138.photobu...2?sort=3&page=0 I've broken things down into two subfolders - Overview and Parts Closeup because some things are hard to verify in the overview pictures (eg that the knee parts have a silver unpainted rivet on each side). I've only made one change since these photos were taken - the elastic that goes from the torso armour to the shoulder bells was too long and can be seen dangling in the photo from behind so I cut it.

I thought that thread is for people who are fully confident of passing.

Well not much in this section of the forum.

* bump * It's been almost three weeks. Should I just post to the Lancer Request thread to get feedback since it seems nobody comments here?

How many people have gotten to Lancer status with one of those?

I've been approved to Pathfinder status and am trying to achieve Lancer status now. Here's a folder of my latest photos: http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/elwyn5150/library/Scout%20trooper%20build/2013-06-09%20Approval%20photos%20%20Attempt%202?sort=3&page=0 I've broken things down into two subfolders - Overview and Parts Closeup because some things are hard to verify in the overview pictures (eg that the knee parts have a silver unpainted rivet on each side). I've only made one change since these photos were taken - the elastic that goes from the torso armour to the shoulder bells was too long and can be seen dangling in the photo from behind so I cut it. The areas that I am most concerned about are the cuts to the boot soles and I think the gap between the drop box and the chest armour may be too large.
