Looking real good Steve!

Let me know if you need anything Steve. I'm in Hurst. These helmets are very cool. This is my MLCv3 lid. Before: After:

Most likely, there is still some resin "residue" present. Or like Steve mentions, dust from the resin casting process. WITH any resin cast part, wash the heck out of it with soap and water BEFORE painting. This is a really important step. The resin "residue" will prevent the paint from sticking or even curing, and could cause further problems like the dreaded "orange peel" effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_peel_%28effect%29

Sounds like a rubber blaster. If so, the rubber is not allowing the paint to cure. I'd use a nice flat gray primer first, let it fully cure, and then apply black.

Dude, nice job! There is no way I could pull that off.

Welcome to Bikerscout.net!

Winter nailed it.

PM incoming...

To me, that actually looks like a v1 SC recast.

If KS built it, there may already be Velcro. The lid I got from them had it. As the guys pointed out - be careful and enjoy it. You'll need to replace a few things, but nothing major.

NOW, that's a great deal!

Welcome Dixon!

Lancer page has been updated! http://www.bikerscout.net/lancers/

This topic...deja vu.

Awesome progress so far! I have owned 2 of the HTG blasters, good stuff and very solid.

If it's a Redkap, you'll be fine. I wear a 42L and I'm 6"2, 170lbs.

Nice lid...!

I'll have my scout on today at ALL-CON. If you're around Steve, come find me or I'll find you!

Marcel makes some really, really nice boots.

I remember and I still feel your pain. Your's was an SF recast, right?

The guys beat me to it. Those are the only two bits that needed tweaking. And, would not hold up Legion approval. Get your Legion app submitted! Then, you'll be all ready for Lancer. Awesome. Job!

I like your "toe-be-gone" design Chef.

Good rule of thumb is no more than a 1.5" - 2" gap from the belt to the boxes. I keep mine right at 2" and it's perfect for me.

Even the forum denies star fortress.

You did your research, listened to advice, followed guidance, avoided mistakes, made a few, and I'm sure your scout will rock! Well done...and should be an easy approval.
