congrats

no the lens is ok, but I cleaned up all the caulking all over anyway. It was the caluking around the fishhook and on the side. ;-) updated pics of it cleaned up :-D

Oh I forgot to say that the caulking has been removed with my pocket knife and sandpaper. clean and all white now :-) new pics to follow

sure do you want newer ones rather than these previous pics? It is the new one verse my old resin one :-) New blaster approved lancer one :-D

Hello All. I just wanted to post one of my latest pics from an event I did. You can see some of the details I have updated even if it is a group shot Enjoy

congrats

sure. the other red strip is a rubber band that I have removed and I cleaned up the glue before the professional pics were taken. the helmet is as tight as i can make it to make it on the sides. I have to force it on my head now. Anymore questions or detail pics needed?

humm not sure. How do you do that? AH ok after reading what High -res means. I am pretty sure since this guy was a professional with a seriously nice and expensive digital camera and setup, lights and etc these are as high-res as he could make them. If you know how to increase the res I am open to advise as to how I do that.

Hi all. I bought a new belt with boxes from studiocreations and I just finished putting it all together. Thanks for the pics and references. I really want to thank Ken Jordan for letting me use his belt as a reference. Seeing it up close helped me make mine look more screen accurate. Here are the pics: I believe this is the last on the list of things I was asked to correct. boots, check, helmet mod, check, mud flaps, check, and now the belt is finished YEAH!!! If you need further pics just ask :-) I hope you enjoyed the pro pics. That guy was great. Do I qualify for lancer status now? 8-)

Professional Photos He did a great job.

new pics of my helmet. I followed the step by step on the forum. thanks for making it. metal frame inside showing tight uniform fit on sides tight and uniform front Yellow glue all gone :-) New blaster approved lancer one :-D Boots redone, stiched, accurate detail on heel from movie research, etc These are pictures of models I followed for the heel and boot. mud flaps all done by lady ghost

those are snap clips that lady ghost added to my vest to help keep my cumbund up. I just have to sew the other side to it. It was a very smart idea.

Ok i see what you mean. I will just have to order a new belt and fix it up. thanks for the clarification also would this blaster work for lancer status? Oh and BTW this is one of the professional pics done at my garrisons latest con. You can see the mudflap on the back and the snaps are attached to the vest made by ladyghost. she is so talented.

prophet thanks for the vote of confidence. bluecyclone thanks for the help: However, These statements in bold confused me. Because if the pictured belt is in three pieces and is riveted into one piece it will still look like three pieces riveted together. Then the statement of not painting rivets and then saying its ok mixed me up.

cool. I fixed the pouches with a cool and helpful tip from a fellow garrison scout. Working on the boots. I will post results for options since I really like building things myself or I will just have to save up :-) And I repainted the back armor to deal with the yellowing and it looks really good. I have been working on the helmet last night and most of today and will be tomorrow. ;-) following that cool visual post of a don post upgrade I did have further question about the belt. Can you send me how the 3 in one belt riveted looks. I am a visual learner. Tks

I know these dont "have" to be done but the point is that if I did not want to do them I would not have started adpating my suit/ armor and be trying to update these pieaces to be more accurate ok ok i will have to buy a few things np, but you can't fault a guy from trying to simply the process by fixing what he has verses buying more stuff Oh and if not with rivets how do you get the belt boxes on the sides to stay attached to the main belt since they are mailed in 3 pieaces?

1. Helmet: working on it. thanks for link 8-) 2. Back Armor: still cleaning/ weatering :-) 3. Belt: depending on question of covering up rivets 4. Knee armor: fixed with some trimming 5. Holster: lines removed 6. Undersuit: pic comming soon 7. Cummerbund: fellow trooper gave me an idea to fix these 8. Boots: correcting color and trimming issue 9. Blaster: trigger removed. i'm not sure how to shorten the grip... sugesstion??

ok so I will see what I can do. sorry for all the questions but I had one about the rivets on the belt. If I paint white over them to concel them would that work rather and buying another belt? I am asking in response to this quote in a previous post for lancer status

Keep on working on it. I know for some that knocking out the Lancer points is quick and easy. For others, it will take a while. Like mine. It's likely going to take me the rest of the year to get all my gear up to snuff. But I'm willing to work on it as long as it takes. I don't want to disappoint the rest of the Lancers as I'm sure you don't. So keep working! so if I replace the base and clean up the trimming around the base the boots would be good? I can take a close up of the new stiching. tks for all the suggestions.

well looks like I need to rebuild a lot. oh well I tried. I wondered if I would have to buy a new helmet and now I need to buy/ get new boots, belt, modify knee pieaces, and a blaster. well I guess I will have to save up and adapt a few things. I did think that I saw rivits to hold the belt as one in the lancer pics in post just for clarification Also, to point out: the close up of the rivets on the holster is the old stitching. the new stiching is a tighter stitch more than a machine does at 18 per inch. just to let you know. I wanted the stitch to hold longer than the material. thanks for looking and I will let you know when I can buy and change those things asked.

humm I am a little confused. I have completed each one of the things I was asked to complete. Please see the above each pic of the correction. I have removed the previous pics as comparison to solve any confusion. Please advise since these corrections have been made by me stiching, cleaning hump and boots, taking the clips off the gloves, getting the suede added, etc and I wil add the professional pics of me in my new suede suit and armor when it comes in. you did say to get back to yall after I corrected these.

congrats
