It looks like you detached your cod from your bund and then sewed extra fabric on to allow for it to reach your vest. What did you use to stiffen the cod?

I took a mock picture to show placement of knee guards in relationship to top of boots. (Remember the concern that I had). It will probably be raised slightly once the straps are attached but I think this is a good measurement of where everything will be sitting.

shoulder bells ... 1 1/4" diameter worked nice for my bells rounded edge Is that measurement from each of the corner edge of the bottom of the bell?t

Got the kit, threw on what soft parts I have, I see what you meant by disjoint the cummerbund and codpiece it will probably be better that way. But I was gauging the distance between the bottom of the knee guard and the top of the boot and it's about an inch or very slightly more. I will send pics when the knees are done. I'm incredibly excited about this endeavor if y'all hadn't noticed.

I will be acquiring a DL-19X from Diamond state props. In the CRL it mentions the ejection port and the small disk on left side? What does that mean? I asked them and they didn't know.

if your boots are to tall .. its not a hard fix to adjust them, rip the seams out and fold over the top section and stitch them up again. I am actually concerned that my boots are too short. I guess I will find out tomorrow when I check the measurements against the knee armor.

Kay, im thoroughly confused. I am looking at Pandatroopers Tutorial and Griffins Lancer tutorial and one says use straps and magnetically attach the blaster and do a reverse edge on the pieces and connect the parts with webbing. Whereas Griffins indicate that you should attach the pieces with zip ties. Which one is accurate? I would really like to have a Lancer kit. I know that the CRL says you don't have to have the ties. Can someone help me not feel completely overwhelmed before I even start.

I hope my boots are tall enough, that they are in the right location compared to my knee armor when I get it tomorrow

Should I use the volara that was suggested to me earlier for the codpiece to make the ribs stick out better on the cummerbund?

I'm getting my kit tomorrow! I was noticing that you need to have shoulder bells rounded at the bottom. What is a good gauge to know the right angle to round them at?

How would I go about refilling the barrel in to fit lancer spec? Also does the scope look ok? I can see how the belt flushes really nicely to the top of the belt. So you Velcro the top of the cod to the bottom of the cummerbund. Should I also make my codpiece skinnier than what i currently have it?

Wondering if blaster fulfills lancer specs

My Blaster, from different angles.

Wow Wow! Thanks for the compliment! I am actually going into my build hoping to get the Lancer specification. I loved chiseling out my boots, I think they look cooler! I am curious about the cod being separate from the cummerbund, I kind of like it being attached makes it easier to slide it all on in one piece, and I don't know how it would attach and still look right otherwise. I guess that the belt covers the seam between the cod and the cummerbund itself. I will be getting my armor on Monday and then the real fun begins!

Completed Boots (I hope) its been a long couple weeks to find the time with my wife to finish them. They definitely look and feel better than my first attempt.

Finished the fronts, hope to compete them tomorrow.

Just working on my boots

These are for approval purposes. Are there any questions with any of them? I will get the pouches sewn on once I have the measurement between the chest and the belt.

Finally different Angles with the Helmet

Looks like Flickr is to the rescue!

I have drop box and smug mug. I just can't seem to figure out how to imbed the images from those sites onto here.

I am also communicating with my local Garrison here in Utah on facebook for the approval process as well. Here is a thread to my soft parts I have thus far. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/edit/a.10153625691483340.1073741843.775118339/

I am trying to figure out how to share the images in Dropbox

Since Photobucket wants to gouge the crap out of people is there a better service to upload images to connect with the site?
