Yeah for basic that is fine. We are only requiring leather and Spanish cut tops for Level 2 -- which doesn't exist at this point! I figure we should probably wait until we have more than 1 to start drafting Level 2 requirements

I did the dime-tracing

Looking good so far!

You are totally fine with the first option.

In that case, give this thread a read: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/17305-lancer-build-tutorial/

I think with my first kit I traced a dime on white vinyl to make the dot.

I'm a 34 inch waist as well, and 6 feet tall. I went with a Large-Tall. The "tall" is important, as these can be quite tight in the groin area if you get a regular

Wow! Super misleading

Yeah it definitely looks small. I'm not ready to rule it out without more info. Now who is going to take the dive and buy this thing so we can review it?

Doesn't quite look as bad as some of the past licensed helmets, but it's hard to say if it's approvable without seeing more sides of it. https://www.officialstarwarscostumes.com/products/star-wars-adult-scout-trooper-collectors?CAWELAID=530005750000426298&CATARGETID=530005750000424902&cadevice=m&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNXeBRAjEiwAjqYhFmUZ86is5h67BmZQ36GQVKRL6v1RXtQDTJkKRbUDGmo43sq15Ok9_RoCr5AQAvD_BwE&fbclid=IwAR09eeueoxsEHG_SMHAyeA7G9-TZNWXC9e9JZsGm0RAPcKzOPenJmGUNREY

This is really great news! As far as I know we are down to 1.....maybe 2 Kashy armor makers. This would be a huge help.

DVH makes the best blasters, in my opinion. Those 2 3D printed ones you posted both look pretty rough to me. Neither are Lancer quality.

The info we do have can be found starting on this page: As far as I know, Armory Shop is the only one making them right now https://www.facebook.com/armoryshop.ru/

I don't love the Imperial Boots. The film boots were hiking boots covered with leather and since Imperial Boots are made as one whole boot, they always look off. Like a pair of white rain galoshes

Welcome to the Forum! We are here to help

Welcome to the Pathfinder forum!

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to welcome Mike "ForesterDesign" Forester (TB-93016) to the illustrious ranks of the Lancer scouts! Great job, @ForesterDesign. Make sure you send a picture of your coolest pose to @Shortstack for addition to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame.

Rubber would be the wrong material anyway. My Strider belt got a crack in it and I just filled it in with bathroom caulk!

That's correct it is mandatory for Lancers now. But let me just explain what this means and what an incredibly low bar it is: Shoulder bells have appearance of being affixed to shoulder joins using black zip ties. "HAVE APPEARANCE" is key. We aren't checking to see if the bells are actually connected to the join using a ziptie. We are checking to see if it LOOKS that way. So as long as there a visible strip of zip tie in that gap between your bell and your shoulder join, you have satisfied Lancer requirements. But, it's real easy to do, works great and looks screen accurate, so why not give it a shot?

Thanks! It looks amazing

Get rid of the codpiece that you have now and replace with one that is more accurate. Here is a picture for an example:

Will do!

Hi Ioic! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Was this Marcel's Scout costume? The Lancer requirements have changed somewhat since he achieved Lancer. Here are the things I see that would need to be changed: The elastic strapping for the shoulder bells and the knee armor are both too large. Both should be 1/2 inch (12mm) The chest armor straps should be 1.5 inch (40mm) cotton webbing. The lens needs to be removed from the blaster scope The codpiece needs to be replaced with one that better conforms to the shape of the screen used (as seen in the Costumes book) Overall, it's a good looking costume and with these changes you should have a good chance at Lancer!

Short answer: KS helmet > SC helmet SC armor > KS armor
